Bout of Books August 2015 Wrap Up and Beat the Heat Readathon Kick Off

Today marks the end of Bout of Books and the beginning of the Beat the Heart Readathon!
For Bout of Books I read:

• Germinal (It's entirety)
• Jo's Boys (seven chapters) (audiobook) (re-read)
• Peter Duck (six chapters) (re-read)
• Emma (five chapters) (re-read)

Yeah.... I re-read a lot! 

For Beat the Heat so far I've read:

• Jo's Boys (1 chapter) (audiobook) (re-read)
• A Child's History of England by Charles Dickens (three chapters)

I'm loving that these readathons are encouraging me to read more and hopefully I'll continue to keep up with it after the readathons are done. :)

Read-a-thon sign ups! Beat the Heat and the Re-Read-a-thon

Today I'm signing up for the Beat the Heat read-a-thon and the Re-read-a-thon! Both sound like they will be a lot of fun. I did the Beat the Heat one last year and enjoyed it and a re-read-a-thon is always okay with me as I re-read a LOT! Be sure to check them out if you're interested. :)

Beat the Heat Readathon

I must be in a super reading mood because I'm signing up for another Readathon! This is the "Beat the Heat" readathon that is hosted by Novel Heartbeat and Phantasmic Reads. 

Here are the rules for the readathon. 

• The readathon runs from August 11th at 12:01 AM to August 31st at 11:59 PM.
• There will be four mini challenges  - a cover guessing challenge, a book blending challenge, an unscramble challenge, and a book guessing challenge. They will start on different dates and the challenges will only be open for a week, so be sure to check the challenge schedule (right below this section).
• Feel free to tweet about it with us and start a discussion! Use hashtag #BtHReadathon when tweeting.
• There will be a grand prize drawing that will go live on August 31st and stay open until September 7th. This should allow you enough time to do a wrap up post if you choose to.
• Remember, to participate in the grand prize giveaway, you MUST be signed up for the readathon. Readathon signups will stay open until August 24th. Sign up HERE or HERE.
• Some sort of progress post will be required for the grand prize giveaway. You can add your progress to your sign-up post if you made one, or make a new post. (You’re welcome to use the format in this post!)
• All challenges are optional, but there will be bonus entries for participating in them in the final giveaway. Feel free to participate in as many (or as few) as you’d like. The main goal of Beat the Heat is to READ and enjoy yourself!

My Goals

I hope to read ten books during this readathon. I have a goal of five books for my Bout of Books readathon so that leaves five books for the remaining two weeks. :)
