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 :)

End of Read-A-Thon post

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

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"

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

I think you guys did a wonderful job as always

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

I think we have a great community, everyone supporting each other :)

How many books did you read?

I finished 4 and I have one that I will finish this week

What were the names of the books you read?

See Above

Which book did you enjoy most?

Oh I loved "Letters to a Young Scientist"

Which did you enjoy least?

I was a bit disappointed at "The Nightmare". It was good, but I was expecting better based on their previous book.

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

I wasn't a cheerleader this time

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

Very likely. As far as my role, it will depend on how my studies go.

24 Read-a-Thon Reading Challenge: Reading Soundtrack

THIS CHALLENGE HAS BEEN CLOSED!!!!

Hello everyone and welcome to this mini-challenge. I hope everyone is well awake and if not, fingers crossed this post should help you guys.

We all have that moment when reading a book when we also find the right soundtrack for the story we are reading. It might be the book itself that gives it to us or just our brain doing weird connection.

What do you have to do to participate in this challenge is very simple. Make a post where you display the book of your own choosing, the song that for you goes with said book (ideally with a link to the song) and your own explanation as to why this song is the song for your book. Don't forget to link to this post on your post ;). Be original, the songs in the soundtrack of a movie adaptation do not count. If you do not have a blog, don't worry, just leave your choice(s) on the comments :)

Leave your name and the link to your post in the Mr Linky down here. The winner will get a book from the Book Depository of 15 CAD (or the equivalent)

Hope you have fun!
