Dewey Read-A-Thon Final Update

End of Event Meme

 

Which hour was most daunting for you? Hours 19 - 24 were difficult. Hour 23 was the worst! I am glad I had an audiobook, so I could walk around while listening to my final read.  

 

Could you list a few high-interest books that you think could keep a Reader engaged for next year? Ajax Penumbra 1969 the prequel to Mr. Penumbra's 24 Hour Bookstore; You Know What You Have To Do by Bonnie Shimko is a suspenseful YA read. 

Do you have any suggestions for how to improve the Read-A-Thon next year? It was a great event. I have no suggestions for improvement.

 

What do you think worked really well in this years read-a-thon? The Cheerleaders were awesome this year and my inaugural read-a-thon book party was a success.

 

How many books did you read? I finished 4 books and started a 5th.

 

What were the names of the books you read?

• You Know What You Have To Do by Bonnie Shimko
• Ajax Penumbra 1969 by Robin Sloan
• The Year of Billy Miller by Kevin Henkes
• Life Is So Good by George Dawson
• The Westing Game by Ellen Raskin Performed by Jeff Woodman

Which book did you enjoy most? I enjoyed all of my reads this read-a-thon, but if I had to choose one it would be Ajax Penumbra 1969

 

Which book did you  enjoy least? I enjoyed all of my reads this read-a-thon, but if I had to choose one that I liked least it would be You Know What You Have To Do. Horror is not my genre and THAT ENDING. THAT. ENDING.

 

If you were a Cheerleader,  do you have any advice for next year's Cheerleaders? I was not a Cheerleader, but I must say TEAM OTTER ROCKS!

 

How likely are you to participate in a Read-a-thon again? I am VERY likely to participate in a Read-a-thon again. What role would you be likely to take next time? I would like to be a Reader again. I would also consider hosting a mini-challenge.
