Bout of Books 23 Sign-Up & Master Post

I’m all in for another round of Bout of Books!

After having  a terrible reading week last week, I’m hoping this fun event will help me catch up a bit.

I’ll be posting updates on my readathon progress below.

 

What is Bout of Books?

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

 

My main goal is to finish my Classics Club Spin Pick, Brideshead Revisited by Evelyn Waugh. Other than that, I’m not creating an official TBR list; I’ll just pick up whatever grabs me this week.

      It took me a few chapters to get into Brideshead Revisited, but I ended up absolutely loving it. It’s beautiful, bittersweet, and thought-provoking.

    I’m also participating! This is already the beginning of Day 3 for me, so I’ve already finished one book and I hope to read another one today. Best of luck for the rest of the week 🙂
