Bout of Books 41 Updates

Bout of Books 41

 I'm signing up for the final Bout of Books this week 😭 It's been fun participating over the years, but I suppose all good things must come to an end. 

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 19th and runs through Sunday, August 25th 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 41 information and updates, be sure to visit the Bout of Books blog. - From the Bout of Books team
