24h Read-A-Thon (2013): Hour 24

Hello everybody,

Books finished: 4 (City of Ashes, Girl of Nightmares, Letters to a young Scientist, The Nightmare)

Books started: 4 (Girl of Nightmares, Letters to a young Scientist, The Nightmare, Ender's Game)

Pages read: 1565

Hours slept: 0.5

Feeling: Exhausted...but happy. In all I am very satisfied. I only slept 30 minutes this time, so I almost did the 24 full hours. Also, although I didn't finish as many books as last year, they were bigger and hence my page count was considerably higher than last time. Also I am happy to see people participating at my challenge :)

Mini-challenges in which I'm participating/participated: A Puzzling Mini-Challenge from Just One More Thing, Read-a-Thon Mad Libs from Nisaba Be Praised, Book Trailer from Jehara, Self Portrait from The Estella Society`, The Best of Your Reading Year from Lisa’s World of Books , Audiobook Dream Date from The Geeky Blogger’s Book Blog, Cheap Thrills from Fiction State of Mind, Bookish Travel from A Reader’s Respite, Turn the Page from Reflections of a Bookaholic

1. Which hour was most daunting for you?

From hour 21 up to right now I noticed my reading slowing a lot, since I was so tired

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

I really enjoy thrillers that keep you turning pages. This year was "The Nightmare"

I think you guys did a wonderful job as always
