It’s time to sign up for the 9th edition of the Bout of Books read-a-thon! Here’s how it works, as per the Bout of Books team:

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 6th and runs through Sunday, January 12th 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 9.0 information and updates, be sure to visit the Bout of Books blog.

As you can see, the fun begins on January 6 and lasts through January 12. There will be a ton of fun mini-challenges and a chance to win prizes, so join us! I’m looking forward to kicking off 2014 with some great books!
