The Read-a-Thon is over and it's time to post my responses to the end of event summary. My responses are amazingly similar to those I posted for the past couple of events. I really look forward to the Read-a-Thon and try to clear my calendar so that there are no distractions. This time, I focused solely on the reading and post, so the end of event summary is the only mini challenge that I've participated in.
- Which hour was most daunting for you?
The wee hours from about 1am are the hardest for me. This year I wound up falling asleep and napping for a couple of hours. - Could you list a few high-interest books that you think could keep a Reader engaged for next year?
I'm not sure I have any recommendations to make. I thoroughly enjoyed reading The Alto Wore Tweed by Mark Schweizer—so much so that I called my friend Beth and recommended that she pick it up for her Kindle. - Do you have any suggestions for how to improve the Read-a-thon next year?
All-in-all, I think the Read-a-thon runs very well. I'd still like to see the start time changed so that in my time zone the wee hours aren't at the end of the 24-hour period. - What do you think worked really well in this year’s Read-a-thon?
This year, I didn't participate in any of the mini-challenges. I just did my own thing, reading and posting and visiting the blogs of my BookObsessed friends. - How many books did you read?
I read in 3 different books, finishing two of them. - What were the names of the books you read?
The Alto Wore Tweed by Mark Schweizer, Bit the Jackpot by Erin McCarthy, and The Alphabet Sisters by Monica McInerney - Which book did you enjoy most?
I have to say that The Alto Wore Tweed was the most delightful. It was zany and even a bit campy. - Which did you enjoy least?
I didn't pick a book that I couldn't enjoy. The Alphabet Sisters had the most serious theme and therefore reading it went more slowly, but that wasn't because I didn't enjoy it. - If you were a Cheerleader, do you have any advice for next year’s Cheerleaders?
N/A. I didn't sign up to be a cheerleader, but I did stop by friends' blogs and leave comments to cheer them on. - How likely are you to participate in the Read-a-thon again? What role would you be likely to take next time?
Oh yeah! I'll be back in October as a reader.
Congrats Elsi! I didn't stick around long enough to do the survey or post. Just wanted to head to sleep because I knew that I would need to get up at a somewhat "decent" hour today.
ReplyDeleteHi there from a fellow Texan! ;)
ReplyDeleteCongrats on a great readathon. I didn't make it up as late as you did but agree that anything past 12 is tough! Glad you'll be back in October!
