Sunday Salon- Read a Thon finished

The Sunday Salon.com

A wrap up of my Saturday. Today will be spent recovering, but still reading. I just can't stop. Plus, I must finish Frankenstein! I am so close. :)


The end meme:

1. Which hour was most daunting for you?

Hour 19!

2. Could you list a few high-interest books that you think could keep a Reader engaged for next year?

Anything shorter and easier than Frankenstein! :)
Scott Westerfield books would be perfect.

3. Do you have any suggestions for how to improve the Read-a-thon next year?

I enjoyed it just as it is.

4. What do you think worked really well in this year’s Read-a-thon?

The mini challenges were great.

5. How many books did you read?

2

6. What were the names of the books you read?

Aura by Carlos Fuente and Frankenstein by Mary Shelley

7. Which book did you enjoy most?

I will say Aura. I finished it!

8. Which did you enjoy least?

I guess Frankenstein, but I am enjoying it.

9. If you were a Cheerleader, do you have any advice for next year’s Cheerleaders?

No. They were great. Very encouraging!

10. How likely are you to participate in the Read-a-thon again? What role would you be likely to take next time?

I will most definitely participate again. With shorter books next time. :) This being my first time, I really just wanted to experience the challenges, visit others and read. I unfortunately had other things I had to do and missed a lot of hours, but I enjoyed the time when I was able to participate.

  1. I've seen Scott Westerfeld on a few suggestion lists now, including my own! I agree that his books would be just perfect for something like this.

    Congrats on a successful read-a-thon!

  4. Frankenstein is a difficult choice but it works great if you read in the starting hours!

    Anyway, you did it!
