The Bout of Books readathon is organized
by Amanda Shofner and Kelly Rubidoux Apple.
It’s a weeklong readathon that begins Monday, August 15
and runs through Sunday, August 21 in YOUR time zone.
Bout of Books is low-pressure.
There are reading sprints, Twitter chats,
and exclusive Instagram challenges,
but they’re all completely optional

  1. I was a little bit tempted, and then not, because (i) I’m away next week, with grandchildren (therefore little reading) and (ii) I’m not on Twitter, which sounds like a deal-breaker to me. But it sounds fun, so good luck!
