1. Which hour was most daunting for you? Must have been the hour I feel asleep - hour 11?
2. Could you list a few high-interest books that you think could keep a Reader engaged for next year? Most of the ones I read would fit the bill.
3. Do you have any suggestions for how to improve the Read-a-thon next year? Nope! Great fun!
4. What do you think worked really well in this year’s Read-a-thon? The support was really helpful. A lot of the mini-challenges looked fun, though I preferred the ones you could do in the comments. I felt like I was posting too many updates already.
5. How many books did you read? 8 books, 1829 pages
6. What were the names of the books you read? (links to reviews)

Funny Business by Leonard S. Marcus
The Blonde of the Joke by Bennett Madison
The Vampire Is Just Not That Into You by Vlad Mezrich
Jumped by Rita Williams-Garcia
The Girl She Used to Be by David Cristofano
7. Which book did you enjoy most? Hard to say - they were so different. I thought The Girl She Used to Be was the best choice for the readathon, and probably The Blonde of the Joke surprised me most in terms of how much I enjoyed it.
8. Which did you enjoy least? I liked all of them, but Stolen was probably the least ideal for a readathon because it did drag in the middle.
9. If you were a Cheerleader, do you have any advice for next year’s Cheerleaders? Wasn't one this year, though I did leave some comments, especially in the beginning.
10. How likely are you to participate in the Read-a-thon again? What role would you be likely to take next time? Let's see what's going on when the next one comes along. I felt like I accomplished a lot of reading this time around, and all were books I wouldn't have gotten around to for a long time otherwise - back burner books if you will.

I'm impressed by how much you read. I managed to read and review only one! Sunday Salon: Read-a-thon Wrap-Up
ReplyDeleteIsn't it nice to have moved back burner books along! Although I only read one of mine, I still feel that I accomplished something!
ReplyDeleteEight books? That's fantastic! You are my hero. :)
ReplyDeleteThat's fabulous that you were able to get so much reading done during the Readathon.
ReplyDeleteI'm so impressed that you were able to read that much and do reviews on the books! That's amazing!
ReplyDeleteYou had an amazing read-a-thon! Way to go!
ReplyDeleteIt takes me a month to read 8 books. Wish I could dedicate myself to 18-24 hours straight of reading time! Maybe when I retire!
ReplyDeleteWOW, all those books and reviews for them too? That is incredible! You are an inspiration.
ReplyDeleteYou can see my Read-A-Thon wrap-up memehere
Cheers ;-)
8 books- that's fantastic! good work! :-)
ReplyDeleteI'm impressed with the number of books you read!! I agree, The Girl She Used to Be is a good read-a-thon pick (I read that one for the event in October last year).
ReplyDeleteYou were flying through those books!!!
ReplyDeleteYou quit at hour 11 and still managed to read that many books? Wow. Great job.
ReplyDeleteYour point about back burner books is a good one. I love the readathon for just that reason -- I read three books I would have pushed off for a lot longer had this event not been happening.
ReplyDeleteYou did a great job!
WOW you were a reading animal! I agree with you about the mini challenges...I was definitely posting too often and not reading enough. My poor followers that get the auto e-mails! They must be ready to kill me. Also the later mini challenges that required creativity and deep thinking didn't work for me! I was lucky to be able to type a comment!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your accomplishments! You did great!
