Bout of Books was a pretty good start back into reading. It was better than BoB30, and I didn't even do BoB31. Things were happening at the time and we ened up putting our down down the week it ended, so yeah, didn't even think about BoB at the time.
It was good to get back into reading and I enjoyed the majority of the books too. I'm glad I set aside time to read, and now it's back to writing. Hopefully by BoB33, I'll have a new book, or two, out. :)

On Day 2, I ended up reading an hour less than Day 1 but got more pages read, I suppose because all the books were easy reads, and two of the three were really enjoyable.
My reading was rudely interuppted by the town's siren's going off for a Tornado Warning. I'm along Fred's path and apparently he brought wide spread tornados and flooding. Problem is, I'm terrified of tornados. They are my only fear, stemming from my childhood. The deadilest outbreak of the 1980s occured on my 8th birthday, right where I lived at the time (I lived along the Big Beaver cell, a F4/F3). Our neighbors had two of three houses destroyed while my childhood home was shifted in the wind, causing a crack all along its foundation.
I wasn't there at the time, only saw the destruction afterward and I think that's part of my ongoing fear. Perhaps had I been there, experienced the effects first hand, then I might not be the quivering mess I am now because of it.
All is fine, BTW. If there was touchdown, it was about 20 miles from here. Not too far, but it was to my west, a bit. Doesn't mean I still didn't cower in the closet for an hour, because I totally did. After it was done, I finally got back to books, and thankfully, they were good ones too.

And now it's time for Bout of Books? Where is this year going to?!
I'm joining in! I have ZERO clue what I'll read, as always. Ever the fly-by-er, I can't make a plan! Hopefully it'll be better than January's BoB when I had a bit of a dud, for me, reading only 7 books. Yikes! Ever since I started writing, my reading has tanked. I'm reading a lot of words - just my own, over and over. I SHOULD be continuing my work on Book 3, but I need a nice reading break!
Did you know I write now? I'm an author! Wow. Do you like Erotic Romance books? Feel free to check out my blurb (to my first book) below and links below that. My first book, Natural Exposure, is currently FREE on Kindle Unlimited. If you check it out, I'd love a review or to hear what you thought!
Who else is signing up? Who else is blogging about it? Leave me links and I'll follow you!
Natural Exposure:
It’s business as usual for Kenzie in her boudoir studio. Every day, fascinating people of all genders stroll through and Kenzie has the privilege of making them shine. She’s photographed the gamut: sultry brides-to-be seeking a naughty gift for their spouse, the confidant trans person showing the world their true self, and triads locked in passion, each moment of their tender lovemaking on display.
Kenzie’s been a part of it all, but never has a client captivated her so completely, until she steps through the door.
Ripley never recuperated from the relationship that irrevocably changed her. Desperate to forget the past, she moves to the progressive town of Bijou Basin, pursuing a fresh start. While acquainting herself with her new life, she notices an advertisement for an erotic nude photographer. On a whim, she books a session, hoping the experience will help her reclaim her identity.
Sparks fly for both women, but Ripley discovers there’s more to Kenzie than meets the eye. Can Ripley accept Kenzie as she is and does she want to date someone so complicated? Can Kenzie prove she’s worth it?
Authors Note: This slow burn erotic romance features adult themes and language. Themes include: graphic sex, BDSM, Polyamory & LGBTQ+ Characters.

It's time for Dewey's! This is my 19th (I think), so I'm gonna be a little lazy and reuse some of these answers and this opening statement as well. Ha!
Same thing applies that I said in October. Behind on reading because I write now. I have two novels published along with two novelettes. In the same series, I have 2 more novels in the works and one more novelette, plus I have a couple things outside those / that genre that I'm working on. I started off writing erotic romance, and you can see my books listed below.
I've been doing Dewey's a long time. Used to post on my other blog - Karsyn's Kickass Jocoserious Kooky Jannock Book Blog but have been here the past few Dewey's since this one is, slightly, more active.
What's your read-a-thon plans for the day? Leave me a link, and I'll come visit you!
Opening Meme:
1) What fine part of the world are you reading from today?
Sparta, NC ~ the middle of no where. :)
2) Which book in your stack are you most looking forward to?
Haven't decided really at all, except for perhaps Another Time, Another Place by Jodi Taylor
3) Which snack are you most looking forward to?
There's sugar cookies, Lemonheads, and Peach Rings.
4) Tell us a little something about yourself!
HI! I'm Karsyn (some of you who have been around a while will know me as Karsyn @ KaKiJoKoJa - my book review blog), over 40 (though much much younger in spirit), deeply in love with and married to my high school best friend. I LOVE to read, obviously, and am blessed with a ton of time to read. In a typical month I will read 15-20 books, often more, and when there's something going on, like Dewey's, I read a ton more! Since I started writing, my reading has suffered and I'm behind on the challenge for the year, but I'm enjoying writing. Beyond my books, I'm a gamer, and I built my own Gaming PC, 6 years ago, which I named Widget (after The Night Circus character). Widget is GREAT and we've had so much fun playing games on him! Lately we've been playing Warzone together obsessively. Anyone else? We just have fun in Plunder, aren't really good enough for BR.
5) If you participated in the last read-a-thon, what’s one thing you’ll do different today? If this is your first read-a-thon, what are you most looking forward to?
This is my 19th Dewey's so I'll do what I've been doing. :)
Here's a few books on my potential TBR today:
