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, January 6th and runs through Sunday, January 12th 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 9.0 information and updates, be sure to visit the Bout of Books blog. - From the Bout of Books team
So you know I have a read-a-thon problem, right? I wasn't going to do this one, but EVERYONE is doing it, even some of the people I watch on youtube. It was a sign. I have to do this challenge.
Goals
* Read for a little bit everyday
* Finish reading A Study in Ashes by Emma Jane Holloway
* Finish reading The Einstein Intersection by Samuel R Delany
* Read Dark Talisman by Steven M Booth

Good luck. Bout of Books is really fun and I think that's why everyone does it. The challenges are fun and it's no pressure. I usually meet a lot of new people. Especially during the twitter chats!
Good luck, and have lots of fun! I've got my daughter home from college this week, so I'm not signing up this time.
Good luck! I really enjoybout of books
Glad you joined - I'm sure you'll do excellent!
I am quite excited. I just finished writing all of my posts for the week, so I can just concentrate on reading! Bring on the fun in 20 minutes. :)
Enjoy your time with your daughter! I think that is a reasonable excuse for not participating. :)
I am quite excited about it. Both the "booktubers" I watch on youtube and the book bloggers I read are both doing this challenge. Worlds are colliding! It should be fun!
Thanks! I am ready and eager to go! :)
I see almost everyone is doing this read-a-thon!! Good luck :) I'm sure you will do well and probably win some prizes :p

Good luck my read-a-thon junkie friend!!!
Good luck and I hope you have fun! Bout of Books is one of my favorite readathons of the year.
Good luck! Hopefully you'll reach your goals for the week :) I don't blame you for having the read-a-thon problem, they seem like so much fun! Good luck again.
I'm tempted to try this one! It sounds like fun. Good luck :)
Thanks! So far I haven't read anything! Eek! I better go get my kindle. :)
Thanks. It is such an addiction. :)
Thanks! I did the twitter chat earlier today, and it was crazy. There were so many people tweeting!
Thanks! I love reading in groups.
You should! All you need to do is a goals post and nothing else. The challenges and stuff are all optional.
Good luck wiht your challenge :) I don't dare participate in these all the time. But I will be a part of the next COYER as well, Pamela.
Happy reading :)

Thanks! I can't wait for the next COYER too! :)
I really did want to do this, because you're right, everyone is! There was just no way I could with all I have going on right now... I'm lucky to be reading at all! Good luck with your goals :)
I know what you mean. I am a sucker for peer pressure. If everyone was jumping off a cliff, I would too!
