Bout of Books 9.0 {I'm in}

Bout of Books is back!!!! I participated back in August for my first time, and I loved it.  I feel like for being a newbie, and rusty on book reading due to school I did a pretty okay job.  This time I would like to read more!! :) So join me. 

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
