The Bout of Books read-a-thon is organized by Amanda @ On a Book Bender and Kelly @ Reading the Paranormal. It is a week long read-a-thon that begins 12:01am Monday, August 19th and runs through Sunday, August 25th in whatever time zone you are in. Bout of Books is low-pressure, and the only reading competition is between you and your usual number of books read in a week. There are challenges, giveaways, and a grand prize, but all of these are completely optional. For all Bout of Books 8.0 information and updates, be sure to visit the Bout of Books blog.

7 days of All-You-Can reading.
If you want to take part, please Start Here: http://boutofbooks.blogspot.co.nz/p/w...
Add your link to the sign up post. If sign up is open, you'll find the link in the sidebar. Your link must go directly to your “I’m joining #boutofbooks!” update. They won’t scroll through all your posts, tweets, videos, or updates to verify your participation.
(optional) Set your goals. This can be the same as your sign-up post.
A note about goals: you’re not locked into them. If you don't want to set goals, don't. If you do, feel free to change them if real life happens. Or set easy ones like, “Read” or “Have fun.” We don’t believe you can fail #boutofbooks.
The motto is “Flailing, not failing” and we enforce it. It brings everyone down when you say you’re failing.
Then all you need to do is READ!
