Readathon: Bout of Books 9.0 Monday Challenges



Bout of Books
 Bout of Books Read-a-Thon
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 6th and runs through Sunday, January 12th 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.

act of violence –  Kill Me Softly by Sarah Cross

Here's the Scoop!

I just read the greatest book!

This guy [Froi] ends up in the middle of a [Dark] conspiracy. Turns out his ancestors were pirates, and he might be the key to finding the [Altered ] [Pawn]. It’s a mythic artifact that disappeared centuries ago, and now a shadowy group of [Runners] are looking for it. No one knows what uncovering it might do, but these guys are willing to [Kill] for it.

I won’t say anything else. But believe me, if you like [Bronze] stories with [Games] and[Valentines], you have to read this one.
