Some Thoughts
Dreaming Anastasia was absolutely wonderful. All in all the four books I've read so far have been good reads. I'm interested to see how I feel after letting the books percolate for awhile. I've been jumping from reading to cheerleading to updating so fast, my head is spinning a bit.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Now for the....
Mid-Event Survey:
1. What are you reading right now?2. How many books have you read so far? 4
3. What book are you most looking forward to for the second half of the Read-a-thon? I have no idea what I'm going to read; although The Vampire's Assistant will probably come in at some point.
4. Did you have to make any special arrangements to free up your whole day? All I had to do was convince the husband to entertain himself - no easy task I might add.
5. Have you had many interruptions? How did you deal with those? I've had interruptions but they've been minor, and actually rather nice breaks.
6. What surprises you most about the Read-a-thon, so far? How much there is to do besides just read!
7. Do you have any suggestions for how to improve the Read-a-thon next year? Things are going swimmingly in my opinion.
8. What would you do differently, as a Reader or a Cheerleader, if you were to do this again next year? I'm feeling pretty good about the experience; but if I could change something about this year, I would have gotten more than five hours of sleep last night!!!
9. Are you getting tired yet? I think I'm too wired to be tired, but there's a lot of time left.
10. Do you have any tips for other Readers or Cheerleaders, something you think is working well for you that others may not have discovered? Randomness is working for me. Originally I was going to post every two hours, spend only twenty minutes every two hours cheerleading, and blah blah blah. But doing what I want when I want is definitely working out better for me than trying to schedule things.
I am impressed that you can read 4 books in 88 minutes! WOW. Oh, wait. I read that wrong. Well, STILL impressed by your numbers. Good luck hitting 1,000 pages :-) Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you liked Dreaming Anastasia - I wasn't particularly impressed by it, but it's good to know others like it. Keep up the great work!
ReplyDeleteThere once was a reader with a book,
ReplyDeleteWho hired this guy as a fry cook
He battered it up,
To serve it as sup,
And now the book is gobbledegook.
Looks like you're doing a great job. Keep it up!
ReplyDeleteVery impressive! I'm glad you are having fun with the readathon. :) Wishing you so many more happy hours of reading. You amaze me with your ability to read so many pages. Keep up the great work!
