Reading know: My Stroke of Insight by Jill Bolte Taylor, Ph.D
Pages read: 1211
Hours slept:1.5
Mini-challenges in which I'm participating:Opposite Title Puzzle Challenge; Book Sentence, Challenging Book Challenge; Time Flies, I Love Fall; Book Bingo; Turn to page; Oldies but Goodies
Only one hour to go...but I'm struggling not to fall asleep again. Specially so close to the end line.
-End of Event Meme:
1. Which hour was most daunting for you?
Definitely this last one; my energy from my nap went away and I had to keep changing positions not to fall asleep
2. Could you list a few high-interest books that you think could keep a Reader engaged for next year?
I honestly think is really hard if you don't know the reader. I would suggest having something of non-fiction to the side but keeping it with a light tone, like A.J. Jacobs
3. Do you have any suggestions for how to improve the Read-a-thon next year?
I loved the event as it was
4. What do you think worked really well in this year’s Read-a-thon?
I can't compare it with other years, so in my opinion everything worked nicely :)
5.How many books did you read?
6
6. What were the names of the books you read?
The Passage; Cleanup; Jersey Angel; The Guinea Pig Diaries; El misterio de las Tanias and My stroke of insight
7. Which book did you enjoy most?
The Passage for Fiction and The Guinea Pig Diaries for non-fiction.
8.Which did you enjoy least?
Jersey Angel...
9. If you were a Cheerleader, do you have any advice for next year’s Cheerleaders?
I wasn't, but I would like to thank everyone who visited my page!
11. How likely are you to participate in the Read-a-thon again? What role would you be likely to take next time?
I will definitely participate next year, probably at Fall. As a reader, and maybe as a cheerleader. I'm not sure I'm ready yet to be a host :$
Woohoo! You've had a terrific Read-a-thon. I'm intrigued by the title The Guinea Pig Diaries. A.J. Jacobs is a brilliant idea for a future Read-a-thon.
