Bout of Books 38

I'm planning to join Bout of Books once again. I can't believe this is number 38! I'll have to count how many times I've participated. I have an international flight on Day 4, so have high hopes for racking up a lot of pages that day. 

The Bout of Books readathon is organized by Amanda Shofner and Kelly Rubidoux Apple. It’s a weeklong readathon that begins 12:01am Monday, August 21st and runs through Sunday, August 27th in YOUR time zone. Bout of Books is low-pressure. There are reading sprints, daily Discord questions, and exclusive Instagram challenges, but they’re all completely optional. For all Bout of Books 38 information and updates, be sure to visit the Bout of Books blog. - From the Bout of Books team
