Updates: Slumps, Exams and Readathons

If not accurately represented in my lack of new blog posts and entries to my 2014 Reads, I have been going through a bit of a reading slump recently. Coupled with exams coming up, and general end of year/end of school worries and things to organise, I've been preoccupied. But I really miss reading. I've only been able to get one or two pages of things here and there, and I miss that feeling of sitting down and dedicating an entire evening with a book and some tea.

So, coinciding with my last week of school, I'm taking part in the Bout of Books Read-a-Thon 10! I have a whole stack of books I borrowed from the library last month and are still sitting glumly, unmoved from my shelf since those 30 days ago.  I'm not going to give myself a list, as this will most likely intimidate the socks off of me, but I hope to work my way through that stack and will be hopefully making a wrap-up post when the week is over.

Whilst I clear remaining deadlines and metaphorically and literally tidy up my reading space, I'll be anxiously awaiting this reading week. If you want to get involved, the challenge starts on the week beginning May 12th.  More information from Bout of Books can be found here: http://boutofbooks.blogspot.co.uk/

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
