Read-a-thon End of the Event Meme

A few more minutes to go, so time to get this done.:)

1. Which hour was most daunting for you?

Hard to say, considering that all hours had me distracted. But since I came into the read-a-thon with a laid back approach, I'd say none of it was really daunting.

2. Could you list a few high-interest books that you think could keep a Reader engaged for next year?

I'd go with any Jasper Fforde book, Sarah Addison Allen's Garden Spells, and most books by Charlaine Harris.

If you like more serious reads, I highly recommend Margaret Atwood's The Blind Assassin or Alias Grace, Ian McEwan's Atonement, and anything by Neil Gaiman.

3. Do you have any suggestions for how to improve the Read-a-thon next year?

None particularly come to mind. Though I am inspired to think up of a similar local event here to promote reading. All in all, it was such a pleasure to be part of this.

4. What do you think worked really well in this year’s Read-a-thon?

I really loved the supportive comments left on people's blogs.

5. How many books did you read?

2 and a half.:)

6. What were the names of the books you read?

Ella Enchanted by Gail Carson Levine
Bunnicula by Deborah and James Howe
(half of) Uglies by Scott Westerfield

7. Which book did you enjoy most?

Ella Enchanted, no contest. So far, I'm finding Uglies a bit over-indulgent.

8. Which did you enjoy least?

Well, I'm only half way through Uglies, so I can't really say for sure.

9. If you were a Cheerleader, do you have any advice for next year’s Cheerleaders?

Wasn't a cheerleader, but I'd like to say that they did a great job!

10. How likely are you to participate in the Read-a-thon again? What role would you be likely to take next time?

Very likely since I enjoyed it so much! Unless I can really free up most of my day, I might take the role of cheerleader next time.

A big thank you to all the organizers of this great activity! I loved it!
