HOME OF THE BELLY DANCING BOOKWORM
This is the message of Christmas: We are never alone. ~Taylor CaldwellThe presents are wrapped, the tamales are cooked, and the weather is a cooler than usual in Southern California.
"We all have those books. We buy them, win them, they’re gifted to us. Then we put them up on a bookshelf and there they stay, collecting dust, waiting for the time when we’ll finally decide to pick them up.
Join us on a quest to dust off your TBR Pile and read all the books you’ve been telling yourself you’ll read next time you’ll get a chance. This is your chance!"
So excited to be ale to participate in this one since I haven't been able to do so for the last two. Bout of Books #12 will run from January 5th to the 11th. Here's a little info what this read-a-thon is about: 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 5th and runs through Sunday, January 11th 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 12 information and updates, be sure to visit the Bout of Books blog. - From the Bout of Books team.
