It’s all over

I had to stop updating for a while because the computer screen was making my eyes too tired. But I did it!
End of read-a-thon meme.

1. Which hour was most daunting for you?
- Hour 18 was pretty rough.
2. Could you list a few high-interest books that you think could keep a Reader engaged for next year?
- The Birth of Venus, and anything by Agatha Christie
3. Do you have any suggestions for how to improve the Read-a-thon next year?
-Can’t think of any at the moment
4. What do you think worked really well in this year’s Read-a-thon?
- The cheerleaders really were helpful. It was nice to have encouraging words.
5. How many books did you read?
- 5 books read / 3 books completed / 1 short story completed
6. What were the names of the books you read?
In order:
-The Lady Elizabeth (Alison Weir) – finished
- The House of the Seven Gables (Nathaniel Hawthorne) – gave up for now
- The Birth of Venus (Sarah Dunant) – finished
- The Murders in the Rue Morgue (E.A. Poe) – finished
- The Murder of Roger Ackroyd (Agatha Christie) – finished

7. Which book did you enjoy most?
The Murder of Roger Ackroyd with The Birth of Venus coming in a close second.
8. Which did you enjoy least?
- The House of the Seven Gables. It was just tiring me out too much so I had to drop it. I should’ve maybe started with that one.
9. If you were a Cheerleader, do you have any advice for next year’s Cheerleaders?
- I was not. But I really appreciated them!
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. Same role or maybe half and half reader/cheerleader.

Thanks to all the organizers for their hard work! I really had a good time with this. When I’m more awake I’ll have to go visit other blogs and review my reads.
But for now…I sleep!
