The Bout of Books read-a-thon is organized
by Amanda Shofner and Kelly Rubidoux Apple.
It is a week long read-a-thon that begins 12:01am Monday, August 19th
and runs through Sunday, Ausgu 25th in whatever time zone you are in.
Bout of Books is low-pressure. There are challenges, Twitter chats, and a grand prize, but all of these are completely optional.

I’m 5 books behind my yearly schedule of reading, so Bout Of Books should help. Plus, I hope to connect with the newer generation of book bloggers!

My goal is the same as for Bout of Books 25, as I didn’t manage to reach it:
to read 805 pages, an average of 115 pages/day.

And I will organize a giveaway!

Here are the books I plan to read from. Some I’m currently reading.

1. Elder Leonid of Optina, by Fr Clement Sederholm
2. Don Quixote, by Cervantes
3. Quichotte, by Salman Rushdie
4. The Dark Lake, by Sarah Bailey
5. Secret Agent Brainteasers, by Sinclair McKay
6. If You Cross the River, by Geneviève Damas
7. Audiobook: Le mystère de la chambre jaune, by Gaston Leroux
8. Audiobook: Surface, by Olivier Noreck
