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

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 🙂
