I ended up sleeping through the last four hours as I did the first four. But no worries, I did manage to finish 3 books! That is quite a feat for me. I made much better choices for books this go around. So to finish off this great event, here is the End of Event Meme (just a little late)...1. Which hour was most daunting for you? Hour 20. That was when I finally called it quits
2. Could you list a few high-interest books that you think could keep a Reader engaged for next year? Anything under 300 pages, fast paced and an easy read.
3. Do you have any suggestions for how to improve the Read-a-thon next year? I think all went very well!
4. What do you think worked really well in this year’s Read-a-thon? The dedicated site was great to figure out which mini-challenges were happening, what hour we were in, etc. The hosts did a wonderful job. :)
5. How many books did you read? 3!
6. What were the names of the books you read?
Drawers & Booths by Ara 13, 215 pages
How to be Popular by Meg Cabot, 287 pages
Austenland by Shannon Hale, 194 pages
Total pages read: 696
7. Which book did you enjoy most? Austenland
8. Which did you enjoy least? I actually enjoyed them all but Drawers & Booths did take a little longer to get through.
9. If you were a Cheerleader, do you have any advice for next year’s Cheerleaders? They did a wonderful job. 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? Very likely! Reader and/or cheerleader. :)
Now it is time to recover from staying up until 3:30 am! can you believe I still want to just sit around and read? :)
Happy Sunday!
Be sure to check out my current contest. You have until May 1st!
Wow, you did great! Maybe next year I'll give it a try.
ReplyDeletelol!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on finishing three books!
ReplyDeleteYay Mari! Awesome job. That is a lot of reading in 24. I would ask you what you are reading today but you might not want to think about that until tomorrow? :) Today I am reading Unaccustomed Earth. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteWell done Mari. You did really well. I hope to join in next time too. Three books - that is fab. YOu must be so tired now.
ReplyDeleteYou did really well Mari. I think next time I'll make sure to have shorter books and some YA stuff. Much easier to read than the heavier although really good stuff.
ReplyDeleteI actually feel like reading more today than I did yesterday. Now that's bad. lol.
You did great! Congratulations.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Mari - I think you did fantastically to make it to hour 20 - I wouldn't have been able to go half that long!
ReplyDeleteVery impressive. It sounds like so much fun I'm sorry I missed it.
ReplyDeleteGreat job! I would have to agree that having that central site was great. I knew exactly where to go if I wanted to participate in something else to break up the reading a bit.
ReplyDeleteGreat job! I totally agree with what you suggest for reading - small books that hold your interest are so great for giving you that extra boost of motivation when you can strike off a book as done :)
ReplyDeleteThank you all!! I can't wait for the next read a thon. Lots of fun. :)
