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 9th and runs through Sunday, May 15th in whatever time zone you are in. Bout of Books is low-pressure. There are challenges, giveaways, and a grand prize, but all of these are completely optional. For all Bout of Books 16 information and updates, be sure to visit the Bout of Books blog. - From the Bout of Books team

Ok, I wasn't thinking on participating in the bout of books in an official manner, but then failure is already guaranteed so I might as well have fun.

Goals:

• read everyday,
• participate in at least two challenges.

I will be happy if I finish the book I just started, the Portuguese translation of North and South by Elizabeth Gaskell, but I just really want to pick up and read everyday, even if only a page. Also, I already read the English version but it's the first time it was translated into Portuguese and I really miss the story and the characters so it will be nice to re-read it.

Ok, não estava a pensar participar de forma oficial mas que se lixe, tal como no ano passado o falhanço está garantido!

Objectivos:

• ler todos os dias,
• participar em pelo menos dois desafios.

Ficarei bastante satisfeita se conseguir terminar o livro que comecei, Norte e Sul da Elizabeth Gaskell, mas quero mesmo é ler todos os dias, mesmo que só uma página. Já li este livro em inglês, mas tenho saudades da história e das personagens, pelo que já o contava reler mas sabe ainda melhor fazê-lo com a primeira tradução para português do livro.
