Bout of Books 20 ~ Day 6

A pretty productive day, despite still feeling yukky. Got in a lot of listening to shorter audios. Been focused on reading so haven't really done much else in way of visiting any other blogs, but will after BoB has ended.

Bout of Books 20 ~ Day 5

Bout of Books

Day 5 was ok, except for coming down with a cold. How the hell did I get a cold? I don't leave my house! So, that's not fun. It's not awful, but it's really not fun. :/ I took a little book break to play some Overwatch, so a little less reading today. Finished up 1 book I had started the night before, started and finished another and read most of a 3rd, just couldn't get it finished before I fell asleep, darn cold!

Bout of Books ~ Day 4

Bout of Books

Despite me coming down with an unexplained cold, Day 4 was a productive day. Felt crappy for all of it, but read a bunch, so yay! Now this cold really needs to go away!

I LOVE the "If you like this, try that" challenge, but I didn't get back around to do it yesterday, so I'll probably come back later today and update this one, as it's too early for me to think right now. :)

Bout of Books ~ Day 3

Bout of Books


Day 3 wasn't as productive of the first two days, even though it was a solid day of reading until about 7 pm. Problem was, I slept in and missed out on about 5 hours of reading that I had the previous two days when I woke up early. Still, read and enjoyed what I read, so that's what matters. :)

Bout of Books ~ Day 2

Bout of Books

Day 2 was a tad more productive than Day 1. Though I finished one less book, I started two others and read more pages total. It gave me a good start for Day 3 so I should get my first two books done fairly fast. Too bad I slept in and am getting a late start! :)

Bout of Books 20 ~ Day 1

Bout of Books


Got up super early (5am) for my first day of Bout of Books. The morning went by great and I flew through my first two books. The rest of the day had stuff coming at me so I didn't get through as much as I wanted to, but still by midnight, finished another two books. A good day, all in all, I hope to keep it up! :)

I'm also updating my progress on GoodReads if you care to follow me there. Karsyn @ KaKiJoKoJa at GR

Bout of Books 20 ~ GOALS!

Bout of Books



Bout of Books is back already! Seems like BoB19 was last week. I'm really hoping to get a lot read during BoB, if I can stay away from my games. Lately I've been hooked on an Early Access game called Fortnite (if you play, lets hook up in game!) and I'm hoping I can stay away from it long enough to read. At least I can run around it getting supplies and listen to an audio. I really do want to get a bunch read, we'll see if I do.

With Bout of Books 19, I ended with these stats ~
  • I completed 16 books, started 1 other
  • I read 4,700 pages
  • I completed 6 novels and 2 novellas on my Kindle Fire
  • I listened to 8 novels as audiobooks
  • I read for approximately 60 hours (29 hours on Kindle, 31 hours on Audio)



This time I'm not reading for any big Team Challenge but I am working on a Group Challenge for my new group BARC ~ Badass Reading Challenges. We have a "Return to Hogwarts" challenge going on so I at least need to read 5 books for it, plus any books for some other challenges I'm doing. We're also hosting daily activities during BoB for some more interaction and fun within our group. But as for my goals, since it's BoB 20, I'm gonna aim for 20 books. Typically easy for me, when not sucked into a game. :/

Books to Read
I typically don't like to plan out books, but this time I have a bunch picked out ahead of time to choose from, that way I'm not scrambling to find a new book each time I finish one. Though they could change, here's a bunch of books (in no particular order) that I plan to pick from.

Bout of Books 20 ~ Signup

Bout of Books


Wasn't it BoB 19 like a week or two ago? It sure feels like it! But, no, it's been a while, and it's time for BoB 20. I'll be joining in and hopefully doing better than I did for BoB 19. :)

As it gets closer, I think I'll do a Goals list, once I know where my "Return to Hogwarts" challenge is and what books I'll need for it.
