Bout Of Books Read-A-Thon

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, August 20th and runs through Sunday, August 26th 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 23 information and updates, be sure to visit the Bout of Books blog. – From the Bout of Books team.

  • I am behind on my 2018 GoodReads Challenge so I thought this would be an incentive for me to put more time into my daily reading.
  • I will be posting my progress HERE. This is my page for 2018 Challenges and Read-A-Thons. Scroll down and you will find my progress for this event.
  • Happy 4th of July!

    Hi Cheryl
    Our records show that you have one of our widgets on your blog. We’d like to let you know that we’re in the process of stopping all widgets, so please remove them from your blog because they will not render correctly going forward.

    This is part of the gradual shutdown of NetworkedBlogs that we started about three years ago. Initially, we stopped accepting new user registrations, and over time we stopped services gradually to reduce the impact on our users. We’re at the final stages of the process and will be shutting down the remaining services soon.

    We have more details about the background of this and answers to common questions here:

    We’ve had the pleasure of offering this service to you over many years, and we hope we offered something useful and interesting. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to reach out to us.

    Regards,
    NetworkedBlogs Team

    According to Marcia, “Mailbox Monday is the gathering place for readers to share the books that came into their house last week. Warning: Mailbox Monday can lead to envy, toppling TBR piles and humongous wish lists.
