I'm rejoining my favorite readathon of the year! I love Bout of Books, but last time was a disaster. This time around, I'm hoping to knock off a few books from my nightstand stack. I don't want to pack all those books, so I better get reading.

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
