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

Even though it was Friday, I went to work early and ended up staying a little late to finish up some things.  By the time I got home and got settled on the couch to read, the Boyfriend was coming home and it is our daily routine to discuss our day and relax together for a bit. I read a little bit more of If On a Winter’s Night a Traveler by Italo Calvino after he decided he wanted to go to bed early, but I found my eyes getting droopy after a couple of chapters.
