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 6th and runs through Sunday, January 12th in whatever time zone you are in. Bout of Books is low-pressure. There are challenges, Twitter chats, and a grand prize, but all of these are completely optional. For all Bout of Books 27 information and updates, be sure to visit the Bout of Books blog. – From the Bout of Books team

I read some of JOMO by Jessica Misener, but then decided to read on of the library books I checked out on Saturday, An Elderly Lady is Up to No Good by Helene Tursten.

• Time Read:  3 hours 4 minutes
• Pages Read: 184
• Books Finished: 1
• Total Number of Books Read: 5

I’m pretty sure I read more books during this Bout of Books than I have for any of the previous ones. Finishing five books in one week in January is a fantastic start towards my reading goal for the year.
