Are you ready to SIGN UP?
THIS IS WHERE YOU SIGN UP.
Here's what you have to do:
1. Post on your site, Twitter, Google+, Goodreads, YouTube or Facebook account and declare your intentions to join us. It's EASY. If you're posting on your blog, grab the official blurb (below) and our button (in the sidebar) and create a post. (Need an example? Check out Kelly's Bout of Books 9.0 post!)
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. - From the Bout of Books team
2. Add your link to the linky in this post. You have until Tuesday January 7th at 11:59pm CST to sign up. (If the linky is closed, you're too late.)
3. On January 6th, READ!
Official Sign Up
Remember: you must post a DIRECT LINK to your sign up post.

DeleteOh great! Thanks!
DeleteI have school when it starts, but I`m still going to try and read as much as possible!! I think I entered right, but forgot to post my goal...
ReplyDeleteHello
ReplyDeleteI don't have a twitter and would like to participate so I shared the bout of book Facebook page to my page stating I'm praticipating... is that OK?
It has to be public for it to count. If we can't access it, we can't verify your participation.
DeleteHappy New Year to you!
ReplyDeleteWow - almost 500 participants this year!
I wasn't sure if I would have the time to join you but I am officially signing up at #492 under my Inspire Me Monday post! Hoping that by sharing there I can send some other interested people your way! :-)

DeleteYes! It's 12:09am and I have made it! I am officially read and set to undertake this read-a-thon this week. I'm so excited! Thank you so much for doing this event. It's just perfect to start off the year, it's a great motivator to stay on top on the reading goals, and it's great on so many other levels :).
