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 17th and runs through Sunday, August 23rd in whatever time zone you are in. Bout of Books is low-pressure. There are challenges, giveaways, and a grand prize, but all of these are completely optional. For all Bout of Books 14 information and updates, be sure to visit the Bout of Books blog. - From the Bout of Books team
The Bout of Books read-a-thon is coming on August 17th! That will be the Independence Day in my country, and I will have a day off. I hope I can optimize my reading time on the first and last day. If you are interested to join this read-a-thon, you can sign up here.
One of the books I will read is Emma by Jane Austen for Austen in August. But before that, I hope to finish the last 120-ish page of Pride and Prejudice first. If I still have more time in the read-a-thon, I plan to read the sequels of Pramoedya Ananta Toer's Buru Quartet.
Let me know if you are joining! :)
Austen in August! I must tell my daughter. Sadly I have yet to read Austen's work but my daughter has read every word. She will be so excited!
ReplyDeleteGood luck in the read a thon!

Hi Christina, thank you for visiting my blog! Good luck with your read-a-thon too :) Turned out that I have yet to read Emma (and yet to finish Pride and Prejudice) so I plan to read it in this read-a-thon!
DeleteI'm taking part! Good luck and happy page turning to us both.
