So my last update was my last hour. I read a little more but by 2 am I knew I had to go to bed. I do have a cold *cough cough* so that's my excuse. Overall, I'm happy with the Read-a-thon. I read a lot more than I thought I would.Here are my answers to the final questions:
1. Which hour was most daunting for you? It was all good until hour 17
2. Could you list a few high-interest books that you think could keep a Reader engaged for next year? French Milk by Lucy Knisley was a quick engaging book. I zoomed through it.
3. Do you have any suggestions for how to improve the Read-a-thon next year? No ma'am.
4. What do you think worked really well in this year’s Read-a-thon? I'm not a cheerleader but organizing those guys was probably the best improvement.
5. How many books did you read? 3 and a half
6. What were the names of the books you read? Rises the Night, We Have Always Lived in the Castle, French Milk and Confections of a Closet Master Baker
7. Which book did you enjoy most? French Milk
8. Which did you enjoy least? Well, I tried to read Sum but just couldn't get into it.
9. If you were a Cheerleader, do you have any advice for next year’s Cheerleaders? N/A
10. How likely are you to participate in the Read-a-thon again? What role would you be likely to take next time? Sure. I'd like to be a reader again.
I just want to give a big Thanks to the organizers and the cheerleaders and anyone who visited me yesterday. It really helped!
Grat job! I had a lot of fun, hope you did as well. I can't think of any readathon improvements either!
ReplyDeleteI hit the wall about hour seventeen, too. It was great fun, anyhow. And have a great day (or, have great night, if you've chosen to catch up on lost sleep!)
ReplyDelete"organizing those guys" makes us sound like a bunch of rabble-rousers! ;-)
ReplyDeleteGreat readathon!! Now go take a nap.
Nice! I can't wait to hear what you think about We Have Always Lived in the Castle. :)
ReplyDeleteHope you've had some well earned rest by now. And that the cold has backed off! Nothing as annoying as a cold where you are not really well but also not really sick (okay, this sounds as if I am wanting you to feel real sick, I'm not, of course, hope you know what I mean).
ReplyDeleteThat's part of the reason I gave up before 1 am too, I'm fighting a cold. I didn't want to have it hang around longer than necessary.
ReplyDeleteCongrats, you did great! I had French Milk on my pile and almost picked it up but ending up not. I'm sure I will before too long though.
ReplyDeleteYou had a great read-a-thon!
ReplyDeleteGreat job lasting until 2 a.m. I gave up at 11:00 p.m! Oh, well. It was all fun!
ReplyDeleteYou did great, Chris, especially with a cold. I hope you get to feeling better soon!
ReplyDeleteFeel better soon! I don't know how you lasted so long when you were sick. Impressive!
ReplyDeleteYou did a great job!
ReplyDeleteYou did great! I hope you feel better soon.I'm adding French Milk to my TBR list.
ReplyDeleteI didn't get around to as many blogs as I'd hope yesterday, but wanted to drop by now and tell you what a FANTASTIC job you did! I really want to read French Milk and now all the more.
ReplyDeleteYou made it longer than I did! Congrats on a great read-a-thon :)
ReplyDeleteYou did awesome! Congrats!

It seems well kinda pooped out at the same time. I went in to read in bed around that time and that lasted all of a few minutes haha.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on a great read-a-thon, it was fun wasn't it?
Great job on the readathon, Chris. Hope you get to participate next time as well.
