It’s time for the triannual Bout of Books, and in keeping with my recent participation, I’m going low-key. I’m planning on reading a little every day. I hope to check out some new-to-me-blogs and to take part in at least one of the two Twitter chats.

The official lowdown: The Bout of Books readathon is organized by Amanda Shofner and Kelly Rubidoux Apple. It’s a weeklong readathon that begins 12:01 a.m. Monday, January 2, and runs through Sunday, January 8, 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.
