As usual I will join Bout of Books to help kickstart the reading year.
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 1st and runs through Sunday, January 7th in YOUR time zone. Bout of Books is low-pressure. There are reading sprints, daily Discord questions, and exclusive Instagram challenges, but they’re all completely optional. For all Bout of Books 39 information and updates, be sure to visit the Bout of Books blog. – From the Bout of Books team
And as usual I will add the daily progress to this post. I will also be trying to participate in the Instagram challenges and will link to those each day.

Summary
Total pages read during the week: 1223. Not too shabby. Ok, so it’s mostly Trebizon, which I ought to know by heart by now, but still.
Interestingly, the two days I read the least were Wednesday and Thursday. Thursday I was busy, and not home until closer to nine in the evening, so that figures. Wednesday, though? I blogged. Which highlights an interesting dilemma. Because I do want to blog about (some of) the books I read, but doing so takes time away from actually reading. So there’s that. Same obviously goes for even half-assed Instagram posts or other social media sharing. I guess what I’m saying is that I’m going to take that as a sign to not beat myself up about all the books I don’t get around to writing about and just accept that that’s the way it has to be.
