The Bout of Books read-a-thon is organized by Amanda Shofner and Kelly @ Reading the Paranormal. It is a week long read-a-thon that begins 12:01am January 8th through January 14th 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 21 information and updates, be sure to visit the Bout of Books blog. - From the Bout of Books team
Reading Goals

I am so sleepy today - and yesterday - which isn't helping my reading. Ugh.I think I'll be brave and try out at least one of my two cheap wines tonight #boutofbooks - I need to find one that actually works with reading, is affordable, and that I can easily lay my hands one. The ones I have are downright embarrassing though 🤣— Erin @PaperbackStash (@PaperbackStash) January 9, 2018
Share your 2018 reading goal(s)
Not sure how to do that here. My goal is over 200 books, and the Google sheet is a private tracking thing. I definitely can't take a picture of all those books, and some are electronic anyway. Try to picture it?

Things I learned on Twitter: Twitter is more fun when a read-a-thon is going on - I can ignore politics! Also, animal pictures and reading go together.
3rd day of #boutofbooks was best yet - 544 pages spread among different books. This was with having to work, so not bad.— Erin @PaperbackStash (@PaperbackStash) January 11, 2018
