Bout of Books
It's Bout of Books time! I'm hoping to get a lot of reading done this week. Usually, I'm frantically trying to get my classroom ready for the school year - but I'm staying at home with my little guy, so I don't have to do that this summer! I've got four library books to finish before they're due next week. This readathon came at the perfect time!

This readathon was way more successful than I thought it would be. I finished four physical books and one audiobook. There's hope that I may actually get my library stack done before the due date on Wednesday! As always, I had a amazingly fun time participating in Bout of Books, and I'm looking forward to the next one!

I really liked listening to The Canterbury Tales as an audiobook. It was a fun way to experience them!

    My name is Julie, and I own a lot of books. As in, they are stacked on the floor because I've run out of room on the shelves. And those shelves? There are so many books on them that they smile -- not sag; smile. This blog will cover book reviews and all manner of other bookish things.

    You can contact me at julie@smilingshelves.com.
