Hour 24: Mini Challenge
1. Which hour was most daunting for you?
Hour 10. I thought the power nap I took would be enough, but apparently it wasn't. I was really fighting to stay awake at that time.
2. Could you list a few high-interest books that you think could keep a Reader engaged for next year?
I was really sucked into Because of Winn Dixie and Number the Stars. The short books were really helpful this year.
3. Do you have any suggestions for how to improve the Read-a-thon next year?
I like the way it is and how it is run. It's worked for me the last two read-a-thons.
4. What do you think worked really well in this year’s Read-a-thon?
I like the Cheerleader's HQ. It was easy for me to navigate since I cheered on other bloggers.
5. How many books did you read?
I read 5 books!
6. What were the names of the books you read?
Coraline, If You Come Softly, How I Live Now, Because of Winn Dixie, and Number the Stars.
7. Which book did you enjoy most?
Number the Stars and Because of Winn-Dixie.
8. Which did you enjoy least?
How I Live Now.
9. If you were a Cheerleader, do you have any advice for next year’s Cheerleaders?
Don't try to visit every one in a short period of time. Break down the list & visit throughout the day.
10. How likely are you to participate in the Read-a-thon again? What role would you be likely to take next time?
I'm most definitely participating again. I heart the Dewey Read-a-Thon. And I'll come back as a reader and a cheerleader, but hey, maybe I'll decide to host a mini-challenge next time.
Hope your read-a-thon was as wondrous as mine.
ReplyDeleteOde to a Read-a-Thon
Sleep sneak attacks at the oddest moments
The world tilts you out of your seat
The ground looses its grip on your feet
Then clad in not but the sky's adornments
You slide into dream as long regiments
Of text glide endlessly past your eyes
On the flapping wings of dragon flies.

You got so much accomplished during the readathon, that's fabulous! Thanks again for stopping by my blog, I really appreciated the encouragement.
ReplyDeleteBack again... this time I have an award for you!
ReplyDeleteI'm going to take your advice and choose shorter books next year. I'm sure it helps with the sense of accomplishment factor. Congrats. ;-)
ReplyDeleteSorry I didn't get a chance to visit during the read-a-thon, but I wanted to say thank you for stopping by to cheer me on!! :)
ReplyDeleteSounds like you had a successful read-a-thon. Congrats!
