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 7th and runs through Sunday, January 13th 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 6.0 information and updates, be sure to visit the Bout of Books blog. -From the Bout of Books 6.0 team

I'm Under the Never Sky because Kim and I are going in Feb to see Rossi and a few other authors at a Barnes and Noble in Cary, NC, so I'm looking forward to it! The book is good so far. Plus, I have Paper Valentine and Shadowlands coming tomorrow and they sound so good!
I love your blog. These are some great titles. Have fun with Bout o Books!
Oooo! Those are all authors I still haven't read but want to. Good luck!
So glad you decided to join in! This is one of my favorite readathons. I hope you love Through the Ever Night, I'm waiting to buy at the signing in Feb and it's almost killing me cause I want to read it so bad.
Good luck! And I'm glad to have a fellow slow reader participating! We can do it! :D
Woo! Good luck!
@Kate-I hope you and Kim have a fab time! I'm glad you like the book so far. I'm looking forward to starting it.
@Alysia - Thank you!
@Bahnree-I think that is a "thing" with bloggers. Authors we all want to read...we just haven't gotten to yet.
@Kim-I hope I love it too. I'm glad I joined in this year as well. It was a last minute thing!
@Andrea-Oh good. Yay for slow readers. I think we need a badge.
@Logan-Thanks!
