Next week we will again be participating in the week long Bout of Books read-a-thon.  It will be the twelth 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 :)  It is funny how I seem to end up travelling the week of bout of books!

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 20th and runs through Sunday, August 26th 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 23 information and updates, be sure to visit the Bout of Books blog. - From the Bout of Books team
