Bout of Books Read-a-thon 6.0-Kindle Clean-up Edition

Bout of Books Read-a-Thon

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 7th and runs through Sunday, January 13th 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 6.0 information and updates, be sure to visit the Bout of Books blog. -From the Bout of Books 6.0 team

This will be my main update post which I will update every day.

Earlier I was going through my Kindle and looking at my bookshelves trying to decide which books to put on my read-a-thon list. There were so many books I forgot that I had on my Kindle...ones that have been on there for years....review books that I was so excited to get an eGalley for and still have not touched. So I decided to make this a Kindle Only Read-a-thon. 
I'm not planning on reading all the books on this list. I've set my sights at 7-10 books this week. I chose a few extra so I could have a variety to pick from.
(I only work 2 days this week so I figured I should aim high since I don't have much planned between now and next Sunday).

Every Day
Meant to BeThe Children and the WolvesThe Darkest MindsWarm Bodies (Warm Bodies #1)Going VintageThe Hallowed Ones (The Hallowed Ones, #1)Love and Other Perishable Items
How Beauty Met the Beast (Tales of the Underlight #1)Dark Eden (Dark Eden, #1)Famished
How to Date a HenchmanAngel In The Shadows (The Angel #1)
And All the StarsThe Beast Call


Those are all my maybes. A lot of books I have for review, some YA some adult. I tried to pick a good mix of different genres and page counts to keep things interesting. So we'll see how this goes.

Along with reading a bunch I want to make my way around to other read-a-thoners blogs and meet some new friends. It's been a while since I went on a commenting spree, so this seems like a good time to change that.

You guys, next readathon, remind me to not pick a book that is almost 500 pages long. This was a bit of a ridiculous decision.

    1. I cannot wait to get to Warm Bodies. I've been wanting to read it, especially with the movie coming out soon. So I figured this would be the perfect time to read it :)

  2. Every Day is so good I want to claw my face off.

    Maybe if you're stuck on a really long book, switch to a different one for a bit? You can do it!
