And the mid event survey-
1. What are you reading right now?
Nothing. I only update after I've finished a book, so I'm in between :) Thinking about starting Jandy Nelson's The Sky is Everywhere next, or I might also read Dark Eden by Patrick Carman.
2. How many books have you read so far?
Six :)
3. What book are you most looking forward to for the second half of the Read-a-thon?
Not sure yet. I haven't decided what other books I'll be reading for the read-a-thon, so I'll just have to wait and see. But, possibly I Wanna Be Your Joey Ramone by Stephanie Kuehnert or Twenty Boy Summer by Sarah Ockler. I'm pretty sure I'm going to read those, but things change... :)
4. Did you have to make any special arrangements to free up your whole day?
Not really, I don't work on Saturdays, and I just told family/friends that I'd be unavailable today :)
5. Have you had many interruptions? How did you deal with those?
My interruptions have been minimal. And, I pretty much just read through them anyway :)
6. What surprises you most about the Read-a-thon, so far?
Nothing.
7. Do you have any suggestions for how to improve the Read-a-thon next year?
No.
8. What would you do differently, as a Reader or a Cheerleader, if you were to do this again next year?
... Can't really think of anything... Well, I might get more food to snack on, as opposed to just candy.
9. Are you getting tired yet?
Nope. I was WAY more tired early this morning, having to get up and actually start reading and 6am. I won't be getting tired for hours yet :)
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?Not really. I'm pretty sure someone else has already thought of anything that I could add. Although, I've found it's best if I focus on books I legitimately WANT to read, instead of books I think I SHOULD be reading, ESPECIALLY as it gets later and later and you need more and more motivation to stay up.
Oh my goodness six books?! That is seriously amazing!
ReplyDeleteVery smart only to jump on the computer when you are between books. I spent most of the Spring readathon commenting and tweeting!
ReplyDeleteWow, you're doing awesome!! Keep it up!!
ReplyDeleteGo Go Go Go Go!!!
ReplyDeleteYou're awesome dude!
It's 1am here and I'm making some more rounds. Right this second I'm reading Shatter Me because We The Animals is so brilliant, but so heavy. I like it so much, but don't want to read it too fast -- like readathon fast -- ya know? It deserves so much better than that. So I finished one bigger book but I'm currently reading three.
I don't know why I'm telling you all of this except that I get chatty when I get SLEEPY!

Aw, I remember I absolutely loved Misty of Chincoteague when I was younger, hope you enjoyed it!
ReplyDeleteJust dropping by for a quick cheer to get you through to the end! You can do it!

In the Dewey’s Read-a-thon hey!
Glad we could read together today!

Congratulations!! Six books is
ReplyDeleteawesome!! I tried to do this last
year but my schedule wouldn't allow
it and this year I completely missed
it. Will be on the look out for it
next year for sure.
I'm impressed. I simply could *NOT* stay awake. In fact, I only read 21 pages after midnight.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I see that we're both signed up for Bout of Books, so I'll be checking in with you next week. For now, it's time to recuperate and get everything lined up.
