24 Hour Readathon: Wrap Up Post

Pages read: 665
Time spent reading: 9 hours
Number of Books read: 2 and a bit more
I'm kinda bummed, I think I could've done better - I fell asleep after hour 19 and woke up now just after the official finish.

1. Which hour was most daunting for you?
Hour 18 and beginning of 19

2. Could you list a few high-interest books that you think could keep a Reader engaged for next year?

3. Do you have any suggestions for how to improve the Read-a-thon next year?
No - I think it went very smoothly.

4. What do you think worked really well in this year’s Read-a-thon?

5. How many books did you read?
2/3 Completed. One book was 2 books reprinted in one addition so I'm not sure if you count that as 1 or 2. But I Finished that book and 1 other so 2.

6. What were the names of the books you read?
Dark Secrets: Legacy of Lies and Don't Tell by Elizabeth Chandler
Top 10 Uses For an Unworn Prom Dress by Tina Ferraro

7. Which book did you enjoy most?
I enjoyed them both equally - they were such different genres.

8. Which did you enjoy least?
I really liked both.

9. If you were a Cheerleader, do you have any advice for next year’s Cheerleaders?
I wasn't a cheerleader, but they were all amazing!!!

10. How likely are you to participate in the Read-a-thon again? What role would you be likely to take next time?
I definately will partcipate again! I think I will read agian, but maybe do some cheerleading too :)
