End of event meme:
- Which hour was most daunting for you? I was pretty grumpy in the morning because I wanted to get started. Also, my last hour was hard and I started to doze off and my dreams were melding with the book.
- Could you list a few high-interest books that you think could keep a Reader engaged for next year? Last time I participated, I found graphic novels to be really engaging, and easy to read even during moments of brain fatigue. Some of my favorites: Persepolis, The Sandman, Fun Home...
- Do you have any suggestions for how to improve the Read-a-thon next year? I think it's great.
- What do you think worked really well in this year’s Read-a-thon? Everything!
- How many books did you read? 1, and parts of two others (422 pages).
- What were the names of the books you read? Last Night at the Lobster, Frankenstein, Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children
- Which book did you enjoy most? Miss Peregrine's
- Which did you enjoy least? Frankenstein, for readathon purposes, although I love the book. It's slow going, especially in the Norton edition that I have, and it made me feel like I wasn't getting anything done.
- If you were a Cheerleader, do you have any advice for next year’s Cheerleaders? I really enjoyed being a cheerleader. It took me to some blogs I hadn't been to before, and gave me a better idea of the scope of the whole thing. There are so many participants! I think next year, I will log in to Twitter more and get involved there.
- How likely are you to participate in the Read-a-thon again? What role would you be likely to take next time? I will be participating as a reader I'm sure. I would love to host a mini-challenge, but I've got to come up with a good idea.
Greta job on the Readathon. I'm sorry I didn't make it here to cheer for you. I was assigned the C - G blog names and by the time I got to the end of that list my eyes were practically closed because I have a terrible, icky cold.
ReplyDeleteI want to read Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children so I'm happy to read it was your favorite readathn book. Graphic novels are a great idea for the readathon. I have to remember that!
Congratulations for a great, great Read-A-Thon!! Hope you had lots of fun! :)
ReplyDeleteFrankenstein is distubingly slow- I don't think I could have read it for the readathon because I'd be like '170 pages in 6 hours? Really, self?' and would have probably just given up! Congrats on readathoning :)
