Read-a-thon–Hour 24 Meme

I crashed right at 8 am and didn’t get a chance to complete this meme in the last hour. But I’ve napped for a few hours and I’m feeling a little rejuvenated!

1. Which hour was most daunting for you? It was definitely the 18th hr. I needed to get some semblance of sleep. I have two kids and have to be at least a bit presentable today. I ultimately went to sleep at 3 am and awoke at 5:30 am.

2. Could you list a few high-interest books that you think could keep a Reader engaged for next year? My books were high interest..I think it helped that they were YA. My recommendation, though-Don’t read books longer than 250 pages or so. Mine were around 300-350 each and sometimes I felt I was never going to finish them!

3. Do you have any suggestions for how to improve the Read-a-thon next year? None at all!

4. What do you think worked really well in this year’s Read-a-thon? Cheerleaders and Twitter! It was a nice and easy way to keep in contact with others participating. Well, until Beth got kicked off for “over-tweeting!” She was our head cheerleader!

5. How many books did you read? 4 1/2
6. What were the names of the books you read? Wicked Lovely, Ink Exchange, Fragile Eternity, Marked, and Speak.

7. Which book did you enjoy most? I enjoyed all of them, but probably Marked the most.

8. Which did you enjoy least? I enjoyed them all.
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? 100%! I’ll be there! The only thing that would prevent me would be a conflict with the date, so I suggest perhaps doing a survey or something similar. I’ll definitely participate as a reader again.
