Well, another read-a-thon is in the books and this may have been my favorite one yet, even if I didn’t make it the whole 24. It seems 21 hours is my sweet spot as far these things go, sometimes I’m crawling, eyes barely open, to get there and other times, like this morning, I was surprisingly fresh and just decided to call it a day. I credit this to spending a big chunk of the time listening to audio books and building my yearly book wall. I was moving most of the day.
End of Event Meme:
- Which hour was most daunting for you? I’ll be honest, at 4:30 am I got tired for the first time – that’s 21 hours in, I decided that I had read and done a majority of what I wanted to do so I headed to bed.
- Could you list a few high-interest books that you think could keep a Reader engaged for next year? I LOVED all three books I finished this year and would recommend them all…
All different and all excellent choices. - Do you have any suggestions for how to improve the Read-a-thon next year?
- What do you think worked really well in this year’s Read-a-thon? I thought the cheering was great this year. Team Popper was very generous with their comments 🙂
- How many books did you read? Finished 3 and half of a fourth,
- What were the names of the books you read? Se above
- Which book did you enjoy most?
- Which did you enjoy least? I liked them all.
- If you were a Cheerleader, do you have any advice for next year’s Cheerleaders? I tried to cheer more this year and probably got a few hours in. I thought the spreadsheets were easy to use and well maintained throughout the day.
- How likely are you to participate in the Read-a-thon again? What role would you be likely to take next time? I participate every year my schedule allows me and I’ll continue to do so. My husband’s birthday is in April and Gage and I have birthdays in October so I usually miss at least one of the two due to parties or travel 🙂 Thanks for another great read-a-thon, ladies!!!
It hour 19 and I’m still going strong 🙂 I’ve been listening to The Hard Way by Lee Child and am just a few pages away from finishing The Precious One by Marisa de los Santos. Amazingly I have LOVED all three of the books that I’ll have read by the end of the hour. Woo hoo!!
