1. Which hour was most daunting for you?
It was definitely around 2 AM. I had already taken one nap yet I was still so tired my eyes couldn’t focus. So, I went to sleep until 6 am!
2. Could you list a few high-interest books that you think could keep a Reader engaged for next year?
I definitely enjoyed reading Life As We Knew It. It was a pretty dark read, but still kept my interest. I also enjoyed reading the Sookie books. They were pretty easy reads that didn’t require too much concentration.
3. Do you have any suggestions for how to improve the Read-a-thon next year?
I guess this year cheerleaders were assigned blogs to cheer for? I understand the point, but it just seemed a little odd for people who have never visited my blog to cheer for me. Granted, I do know some of my cheerleaders, and they were all amazing. Just saying….
4. What do you think worked really well in this year’s Read-a-thon?
Twitter! I think it was even more effective this time around! I liked being able to log on and see a bunch of cheerleaders and other readers offering their support!
5. How many books did you read?
Four and a half.
6. What were the names of the books you read?
Life As We Knew It by Susan Beth Pfeffer
City of Bones by Cassandra Clare
The Price by Alexandra Sokoloff
Dead Until Dark by Charlaine Harris
Ruined by Paula Morris
7. Which book did you enjoy most?
I actually enjoyed all of these. I probably enjoyed Ruined the most because it’s set in New Orleans (a city I’ve always been drawn to).
8. Which did you enjoy least?
There were a few books I tried to read during the readathon that didn’t grab my attention. I don’t think this was a fault of the book, just not the right book at the time.
9. If you were a Cheerleader, do you have any advice for next year’s Cheerleaders?
Not a cheerleader.
10. How likely are you to participate in the Read-a-thon again? What role would you be likely to take next time?
I’ll definitely participate again! And I’d like to continue to be a reader
