The Bout of Books readathon is organized by Amanda Shofner and Kelly Rubidoux Apple. It’s a weeklong readathon that begins at 12:01 am Monday, August 16th, and runs through Sunday, August 22nd in YOUR time zone. Bout of Books is low-pressure. There are reading sprints, Twitter chats, and exclusive Instagram challenges, but they’re all completely optional. For all Bout of Books 32 information and updates, be sure to visit the Bout of Books blog. – From the Bout of Books team

For some reason, I couldn’t get into my blog’s dashboard yesterday to post my progress. I didn’t read nearly as much (121 pages) as the previous days or finish any books. The same goes for yesterday. I read a bit of The Stranger’s Magic by Max Frei, but I still have about 60 pages left. Instead of reading all evening, I went to a movie theater for the first time since before the pandemic to see “Black Widow.” Hopefully, I’ll finish The Stranger’s Magic today.

• Time Read:  2 hours 24 minutes
• Pages Read: 96
• Books Finished: 0
