Ok, so, no good reason not to, really. I will again be joining the Bout of Books readathon:
The Bout of Books readathon is organized by Amanda Shofner and Kelly Rubidoux Apple. It’s a weeklong readathon that begins 12:01am Monday, January 2nd and runs through Sunday, January 8th 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 36 information and updates, be sure to visit the Bout of Books blog. – From the Bout of Books team
I will use this post both as my sign-up post and to keep track of progress, and I will be attempting to participate in the Instagram challenge every day.

Done. Just over a thousand pages in a week is definitely not bad. I also published two short reviews during the week of the readathon, which is much better than in an average week:
We’ll call it a success.
