It’s official, Dewey’s 24 hour Read-a-thon is over and I had a great time! My progress through out the read-a-thon can be found here and below is the end of read-a-thon survey.
1. Which hour was the most daunting for you?
Hour Three. My tea had not kicked in yet and I had started “zoning out”.
2. Could you list a few high-interest books you think could keep a Reader engaged for next year?
I read Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins, the second book in The Hunger Games. Catching Fire is a fast-paced high-energy book which I was glued to through-out the read-a-thon. I think the best advice is to read smaller books as it gives you a sense of accomplishment.
3. Do you have any suggestions for how to improve the read-a-thon next year?
None
4. What do you think worked really well in this year’s Read-a-thon?
It was so well organized with the hourly posts going up promptly.
5. How many books do you read?
One, and started a second.
6. What were the names of the books you read?
I finished Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins and started Mockingjay by the same author.
7. Which book did you enjoy the most?
I am loving The Hunger Games Trilogy!
8. Which book did you enjoy the least?
n/a
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?
I would love to participate next time! I had a blast! As for my role, of course I would love to be a Reader again and depending on what life throws at me, maybe a Cheerleader.
Catching Fire is a great Readathon book! And you should really consider cheerleading next time, it's so much fun!
Sounds like you enjoyed the read-a-thon. I'm planning to read Catching Fire soon myself.
Are you ready for Spring into Horror? I am SO ready!
That was my favorite of the trilogy! I loved Catching Fire 🙂
I will read again too! I think you are right about the smaller books–feels more accomplished. However, I think I was sleepy when I answered the questions because I totally did not catch the 2nd question at the end of the last question.
You did great! I agree fast paced, smaller books are the best.
My mom read Catching Fire during the readathon as well. Catching Fire was my favorite in the series. I'll definitely participate next time.
