Bout of Books 26


Bout of Books


I had planned on sitting this round out as this week is crazy with professional development days and the fact that I am in a bit of a reading slump at the moment.  However, I pulled  something in my back and have to take it easy. So I'm signing up for the read a thon  anyways. I know I won't get a ton of reading done Thursday or Friday due to the professional developments. But I don't think I will be in the classroom tomorrow (year round programs are fun) as I am thinking that picking up babies and chasing toddlers  might make my injury worse.

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 12:01 AM Monday August 19th and runs through Sunday August 25th in whatever time zone you are in. Bout of Books is a low pressure read-a-thon. There are challenges, Twitter chats, and a grand prize, but all of these are completely optional.  For all Bout of Books 26 information and updates, be sure to visit the Bout of Books blog. - from the Bout of Books team

Sorry to hear about your back. Good luck with your PD's and the first day of school. I'm on medical leave so I missed my PD's and our first day of school. Yesterday was Back to School Night and I had to miss it as well. But hey, health comes first! So I hope you feel better soon!

Btw, I love how you and your hubby are listening to an audiobook together. :)
