Signing up for Bout of Books 18

December 29, 2016

Bout of Books 18 — Launching the new year with a read-a-thon (TBR pile)

It’s been a while since I last took part in a read-a-thon, so I decided to sign up for Bout of Books 18. This round will be from Jan 2 to 8, 2017. Great way to start the new year. Well, in theory, seeing how I’m not the greatest at read-a-thons. Hah.

In any case, I’ve pulled together a stack of books I’d like to read during that week. My goal is to finish at least four of them. Since one is a graphic novel and the books aren’t all too thick, I think that’s doable.

As you can see in the photo I above, my TBR pile consists of:

  • Written in the Stars by Aisha Saeed
  • Ghosts by Raina Telgemeier
  • Mother Tongue by Julie Mayhew
  • The Chimes by Anna Smaill
  • The Special Ones by Em Bailey
  • The Alloy of Law by Brandon Sanderson

What tips do you have for effective read-a-thons?

    Ooh, it’s so great you’re getting into Bout of Books! I’ve never done it before – I’m terrified I won’t meet my goals (I’m clearly a coward :P )
    Good luck, and I hope to hear more about the read-a-thon!

    […] Today was a public holiday here in Singapore, so I had quite a bit of time to read. I started A Quiet Kind of Thunder yesterday already, so I decided to finish it first before carrying on with my planned TBR pile. […]
