\nIt’s time for one of my favorite seasonal reading events — Bout of Books!<\/p>\n

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 12:01 a.m. Monday, May 14th, and runs through Sunday, May 20th, 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 22 information and updates, be sure to visit the Bout of Books<\/a> blog. – From the Bout of Books team\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

    \n
  1. Take part in at least two challenges and at least one of the Twitter chats.<\/li>\n

    <\/p>\n

  2. Visit at least one other Bout of Books participant’s blog a day.<\/li>\n

    <\/p>\n

  3. Return some of my massive pile of library books to the library.<\/li>\n

    <\/p>\n

  4. Read a little each day.<\/li>\n

    <\/p>\n

  5. Finish posting my January reviews.<\/li>\n

    <\/p>\n

  6. Stretch goal: Finish three books. (That’s not really a stretch, but I want to keep things low-key.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Day 1 Challenge: Introduce Yourself #insixwords<\/strong><\/p>\n
