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 9th and runs through Sunday, May 15th 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 16 information and updates, be sure to visit the Bout of Books blog.

FINAL RECAP
Bout of Books 16 was both an awesome success and a sad try-again-next-time. I wasn't able to fully accomplish all my goals given that's it's summer and I need to take advantage of it, I'm in a partial reading slump, and there's not much books that interest me these days.
The challenges this year weren't as creative (no offense) as the previous Bout of Books so I couldn't find it in myself to accomplish them all. At least, I got one down though.
I was also able to finally start and finish a review and it's getting ready to be posted soon. Just gotta deal with a corresponding bookish photo shoot. I definitely felt rusty in using my words but it was good to let all the thoughts run through.
Cheers to more Bout of Books to come! How did yours go?
