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, May 12th and runs through Sunday, May 18th 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 10 information and updates, be sure to visit the Bout of Books blog. - From the Bout of Books team.
one of my 101 things in 1001 days tasks is to take part in another bout. The next Bout starts in 12 days, and I cannot wait to get started!
I've already decided on the goals I am setting for myself, wish me luck!
Goals
- Read a self help book
- Read The Prince by Niccolo Machiavelli
- Read 1,000 pages
- Take part in at least 1 challenge

So, this was not the most sucesful read-a-thon for me. I managed to complete 2 of my goals (numbers 1 and 4). For the self help book I read The Art of Thinking Clearly by Rolf Dobelli. It feels like I've been none stop for the past few weeks.

Last spring was my first Bout of Books and I've done it every time since... now I can't imagine not participating. Looks like you have some great goals. Good luck getting to 1000 pages!
ReplyDeleteWhat type of self-help book do you want to read? I hope you get to achieve everything :D

Any self help book, I just want to see if reading one would actually benefit me. I've bought The Art of Thinking Clearly by Rolf Dobelli, which is supposed to show you "simple errors we all make in our day-to-day life.". Thank you!
