Utah Book Week

It is that time again! One of my favorite events of the year is Utah Book Month. A month was getting to be too much for us, so we decided to cut it down to a week! We'll be celebrating Utah Books, Utah Authors, Utah Books Stores, and all things Utah during August 22 - 28. I hope you'll join us!

This also coincides with the Bout of Books Read-a-thon! Woo! You can knock out both at the same time by reading Utah Books for the read-a-thon! I'm excited!

If you'd like to join us for Utah Book Week, please sign up on the Utah Books Blog.

Don't forget to use #UtahBooks on Twitter and Instagram!
