\n\"Bout
\n<\/a><\/center>First, I’m signing up again for this round of Bout of Books. Don’t know what that is?<\/p>\n

The Bout of Books readathon is organized by Amanda Shofner and Kelly Rubidoux Apple. It\u2019s a weeklong readathon that begins 12:01 a.m. Monday, May 9th, and runs through Sunday, May 15th, 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 34 information and updates, be sure to visit the\u00a0Bout of Books<\/a>\u00a0blog.<\/b>\u00a0– From the Bout of Books team<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It’s not too late to sign up and Bout of Books is super chill. I read a couple chapters of Alexis Hall’s Rosaline Palmer Takes the Cake<\/em> for it this afternoon.<\/p>\n

On the Top Ten Tuesday front, That Artsy Reader Girl<\/a> has asked us to share our top ten bookish characters this week.<\/p>\n
