Ah, New Year’s – that time of year when any resolution or goal seems possible. For me, that means a devout belief that THIS TIME, I will complete ALL my reading goals and resolutions. With that in mind, I’m super excited about Bout of Books 24. What is Bout of Books you may ask? Find out below as described by its hardworking organizers. If you are full of reckless optimism or just excited for the next fun challenge, join me!

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 12:01am Monday, January 7th and runs through Sunday, January 13th 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 24 information and updates, be sure to visit the Bout of Books blog. – From the Bout of Books team”
