#BoutofBooks Read-a-Thon #15: Goals & Updates!

Bout of Books

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 4th and runs through Sunday, January 10th in whatever time zone you are in. Bout of Books is low-pressure.

Welcome, everyone
Starting today yesterday (I'm a day late) is the Bout of Books Read-a-thon #15!  
As many of you know I just adore doing read-a-thons! It's such a fun way to challenge yourself to read more books than you'd normally would read in a weeks time, as well as participating in mini-challenges, and meeting new people. I always have a blast each time and I'd love to see some of my blog readers join in on the fun! Here's the deets if you'd like to join. 

Today is the final day to sign up. You can join via a blog, Goodreads, facebook, twitter, etc. As long as you have a way of posting your updates throughout the readathon. For more info, mini-challenge schedule, and to sign up, click here

I will be posting my updates via blog, twitter and Instagram this year!

Character Coupling Challenge by Writing my own fairytale

Ember from Talon by Julie Kagawa
Jacinda from Firelight by Sophie Jordan



Status: friendship! 
I think they would make great friends because they're both dragons and know what it's like to keep their identity a secret. Both being girls, they can also relate to other things and learn from each other. A true kindred friendship.

Character Coupling Challenge by Writing my own fairytale

16068910
Bianca from The Art of Lainey by Paula Stokes
19237391
Brandon from Duplicity by N.K. Traver
Status: Romantic
I chose Brandon to date Bianca because ever since I read The Art of Lainey, the relationship between Lainey and Micah left a huge impression on me, I just felt there needed to be more odd couples out there similar to them. Who would be better than Bianca and Brandon? Bianca is sweet, loyal, and supportive while Brandon is rebellious, has tats, and can be sweet when you least expect it. He’s also learning to be loyal and Bianca would be a great girlfriend to learn more of that from.
