There are daily challenges, Twitter chats, and exclusive Instagram challenges, but they’re all completely optional. For Bout of Books 28 information and updates, visit the Bout of Books blog. – From the Bout of Books team

I mostly read my reading assignments for the American Renaissance course I’m taking. I finished The Essential Writings of Ralph Waldo Emerson and read a bit of Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass. I also started the audiobook of The Book of Candlelight by Ellery Adams to take a break, and then I read some of Magician: Apprentice by Raymond E. Feist before bed. All in all, it was a good reading day.
