Bout of Books Read-A-Thon: Sign-Up, Goals, & Updates

Grad school is done! That can only mean one thing... I can participate in the Bout of Books Read-A-Thon. It has been a long while since I participated in one of these. I am ready!

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, January 7th and runs through Sunday, January 13th 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 24 information and updates, be sure to visit the Bout of Books blog. - From the Bout of Books team
