Next week we will again be participating in the week long Bout of Books read-a-thon.  It will be the eleventh time we will be doing it.   As I am travelling for work I am not sure how well I will do, but, as I generally read a lot on planes I think it should be good :)



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, May 14th and runs through Sunday, May 20th 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 22 information and updates, be sure to visit the Bout of Books blog. - From the Bout of Books team
