\n\"Bout
\n<\/a>\n<\/div>\n

The start to 2022 has been a little more distressing than we’d expected, which means that until I happened to check Twitter on Monday evening and discovered the Bout of Book Twitter chat going on, I’d neglected to see that we’d come back around to our thrice-a-year readalong.<\/p>\n

I did follow up the Twitter chat by finishing two books — one in print and one audiobook — so whatever happens the rest of the week is icing on the cake.<\/p>\n

Might you be interested in participating?<\/p>\n

The Bout of Books readathon is organized by Amanda Shofner and Kelly Rubidoux Apple. It\u2019s a weeklong readathon that begins 12:01am Monday, January 3rd, and runs through Sunday, January 9th, in YOUR time zone. Bout of Books is low-pressure. There are reading sprints, Twitter chats, and exclusive Instagram challenges, but they\u2019re all completely optional. For all Bout of Books 33 information and updates, be sure to visit the Bout of Books blog<\/a>. – From the Bout of Books team<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
