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 <a href="https://boutofbooks.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Bout of Books</a> blog. - From the Bout of Books team</div><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p>Jenn and The Cats of Castle Coullhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10076829781157910651noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20861981.post-74503542642986554512023-10-22T18:33:00.006-05:002023-10-22T18:41:21.681-05:00Closing Survey<p> 1. How many books did you read during this readathon? Did you have any favorites? </p><p>I finished 3 and read a good chunk of another. I loved all but the cat one.</p><p>2. How many books did you finish?</p><p>3</p><p>3. Did you accomplish your goals for this readathon?</p><p>I didn't have one aside from enjoying myself and I did that. So yes!</p><p>4. How did your snacks and meals work out? Are there things you would change about the food and beverages side of your readathon for next time?</p><p>We always get too much but didn't go crazy this time. The meals went well. Maybe more cookies next time.</p><p>5. Did you enjoy this readathon? What was the most successful part of your readathon? What would you change for next time?</p><p>I did. I think our schedule worked well, me getting up later and also having all our meals planned. Having lunch at home saved us time.</p><p>6. Will you be continuing your readathon reading past the end of our official readathon?</p><p>Not a read-a-thon really but I read every day. But as it's October I have scary movies to watch now!</p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhmsRNt1AavUQFJQruP6ogzyCbwaPAOX-zeToUa9wP9yOKnV3itbrI_sMe63XYzgXDOVAe5qojUCDuqSynQwKup7orfq9wW7O7-mT_sM4pFqkuMUgfBjtyJhwPu-Nk9p8-GKwix2I2sRA7yrgA_4vS49Sk8PblzqZIHqP37n4jdzS80cW9ZcJc/s1572/395130753_1422718024948472_4902658279482725023_n.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1572" data-original-width="1178" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhmsRNt1AavUQFJQruP6ogzyCbwaPAOX-zeToUa9wP9yOKnV3itbrI_sMe63XYzgXDOVAe5qojUCDuqSynQwKup7orfq9wW7O7-mT_sM4pFqkuMUgfBjtyJhwPu-Nk9p8-GKwix2I2sRA7yrgA_4vS49Sk8PblzqZIHqP37n4jdzS80cW9ZcJc/s320/395130753_1422718024948472_4902658279482725023_n.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p>Jenn and The Cats of Castle Coullhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10076829781157910651noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20861981.post-18334747238258038322023-10-22T04:14:00.004-05:002023-10-22T04:18:11.239-05:00Hour 18<p>I read Hide: The Graphic Novel by Kiersten White.

How many books have you been reading? Have you finished any? Are you on track with respect to your readathon goals so far?</p><p>I stuck with one book I had already started and finished it. No goals so I'm doing fine.</p><p>2. Have you eaten real food today? (Not just junk food, ACTUAL HEALTHY FOOD) What was your favorite food or beverage so far?</p><p>Yes, I had breakfast and lunch. Dunkin Donuts was a great breakfast.</p><p>3. Have you been participating in any of the activities on our social media (sprints, photo challenges, discussion questions, BINGO, etc.)</p><p>Aside from these survey, no. Just been reading.</p><p>4. Are you growing sleepy? Do you plan to nap, or stop early, or are you extending the readathon hours to include sleep?</p><p>Not yet. I'll stop early if I get too tired.</p><p>5. Have you been outside yet today? Have you had much exercise (besides the heavy lifting required to hold your book)?</p><p>We went to Starbucks so I've been outside. It's too hot here to be out much.</p><p>6. How is your readathon going, overall?</p><p>Fine, lowkey which is good.</p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCOGb2zS0Len10_Ycr0MBs4-G3FKqfumGef0u7TsV9Jwe7itXT9ZM7O8Oy0qUjC9G8GXpKczNfBM7sZbecSM5S6xDhc3kbpb5s9jDjiipiI4Ypbxz8vFo1R7_9uC2Fw5yU-11heuU5Iyv2SwNf_sRZfSUXnUQvawyqPxcCra63hnGMN_LiNZlt/s4032/394201587_711533143742975_4189430704747250450_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCOGb2zS0Len10_Ycr0MBs4-G3FKqfumGef0u7TsV9Jwe7itXT9ZM7O8Oy0qUjC9G8GXpKczNfBM7sZbecSM5S6xDhc3kbpb5s9jDjiipiI4Ypbxz8vFo1R7_9uC2Fw5yU-11heuU5Iyv2SwNf_sRZfSUXnUQvawyqPxcCra63hnGMN_LiNZlt/s320/394201587_711533143742975_4189430704747250450_n.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Will be starting one of these next.</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><p><br /></p>Jenn and The Cats of Castle Coullhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10076829781157910651noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20861981.post-78224963049639469802023-10-21T19:45:00.002-05:002023-10-22T01:11:24.897-05:00Hours 10-12<p>I read for 173 minutes.</p><p>I read 82 pages.</p><p>Finished Loveboat Reunion by Abigail Hing Wen and had some dinner.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0y9ML3eK6x5OHNSpjAdw3mtSeuhIS3PTtAmE5K0glMn0aF6ygp7odRVQAFYUwJUJKfWE-eKZV2igjB0d5eDLy24v5zK_vGLDtNP2IBO_IBCOyzozCeB5uVC2CEERr_xm7pPw1L1k-nnpq8xmKR5UoqGfXVB_bMzREGxCCv6m-QsH4evp4IZsx/s4032/394728733_6048032948629852_5991968387104009792_n.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0y9ML3eK6x5OHNSpjAdw3mtSeuhIS3PTtAmE5K0glMn0aF6ygp7odRVQAFYUwJUJKfWE-eKZV2igjB0d5eDLy24v5zK_vGLDtNP2IBO_IBCOyzozCeB5uVC2CEERr_xm7pPw1L1k-nnpq8xmKR5UoqGfXVB_bMzREGxCCv6m-QsH4evp4IZsx/s320/394728733_6048032948629852_5991968387104009792_n.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p>Jenn and The Cats of Castle Coullhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10076829781157910651noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20861981.post-72131798653223868042023-10-21T19:42:00.002-05:002023-10-21T19:42:50.307-05:00Hours 7-9<p> Still reading Loveboat Reunion by Abigail Hing Wen.</p><p>I read for 131 minutes</p><p>I read 70 pages</p><p><br /></p>Jenn and The Cats of Castle Coullhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10076829781157910651noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20861981.post-22915901869983259412023-10-21T13:11:00.002-05:002023-10-22T01:11:09.147-05:00Hours 4-6<p> I slept through the hours 1-4</p><p>Starting out with Loveboat Reunion by Abigail Hing Wen.
