Ll that reading and I am still 6 books behind my goodreads goal for the year!
- Which hour was most daunting for you?
Hour 9 when I had to take a power nap!
- Could you list a few high-interest books that you think could keep a Reader engaged for next year?
I am nto a huge graphic novel fan, but Drama was really good. Ellen’s book was also very funny and I think funny memoir-y type books go really fast!
- Do you have any suggestions for how to improve the Read-a-thon next year?
Nope, it was perfect
- What do you think worked really well in this year’s Read-a-thon?
The cheerleaders and hosts were amazing!
- How many books did you read?
6 and 1/3
- What were the names of the books you read?
see above
- Which book did you enjoy most?
Calico Joe
- Which did you enjoy least?
The one I couldn’t get more than a few pages through.
- If you were a Cheerleader, do you have any advice for next year’s Cheerleaders?
Not one, but they rocked
- How likely are you to participate in the Read-a-thon again? What role would you be likely to take next time?
As long as I don’t have plans, i’m totally doing it! I will probably just be a reader again.
I wanted to say a special thanks to all of the volunteers who made this such a great event. They were amazing! Also, a special thanks to Dawn at She if Too Fond of Books . She cheered me on through twitter all dya and really gave great encouragement and advice!
Excited to see everyone else’s posts!

You should participate next time! It was fun! I liked it – it was better than I expected. Will have to read the next book in the series sometime soon.

I enjoyed the series for the most part. Love the idea of daimons! You should check out the movie sometime…I know it didn’t get very good reviews, but I thought it was pretty good.

Good job with your readathon! 6 and 1/3 books is insane!

Wow! That’s a lot of reading! I think I would have to sleep most of the next day away to catch up on sleep, so I don’t know if I’d actually get more reading done over the weekend or not. I guess so, because there would be so much dedicated time. Thanks for the update post. They’re fun to read!
