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.
