It is a week long read-a-thon that begins 12:01am Monday, August 17th, and runs through Sunday, August 23rd, 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 14 information and updates, be sure to visit the Bout of Books blog. &#8211; From the Bout of Books team<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>My goals for this week remain consistent with my previous attempts at participation:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>To read every day;<\/li>\n<li>To finish two books OR to read 400 pages; and<\/li>\n<li>To blog about books at least twice next week. (The posts do not need to be long, and all topical posts do not have to relate to my current reading.)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Also, I&#8217;d also like to participate in at least three of the challenges\/chats. They&#8217;re fun and build community, and since I haven&#8217;t been writing as much about books the past couple years, it would be good to get it in where I can.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s not to late for you to join: <a href=\"http:\/\/boutofbooks.blogspot.com\/2015\/08\/bout-of-books-14-day-1.html\">sign-ups<\/a> run through midnight tonight EDT.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s Bout of Books time again.
