THIS IS WHERE YOU SIGN UP.


Here's what you have to do:

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 12th and runs through Sunday, May 18th 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 10 information and updates, be sure to visit the Bout of Books blog. - From the Bout of Books team

    1. The linky is still functional; people have been signing up all day. It's open for the next eight days. You might want to make sure your computer or mobile device can display java script.

    1. Look at my entry (#416). You'll see how we know. The sign up is a declaration of participation. i.e., "I'm going to participate in #boutofbooks!" It also helps us to spread the word about the readathon.
