I'm pretty proud of myself this time around. As I mentioned in my reading plans post, I was able to stay home for the entire readathon. However, I still only managed to read a total of 9 hours. Still, I did some time on social media, participated in a few of the mini-challenges AND I read a whole book! 418 pages to be exact. I haven't read a whole book in a day (less than a day) in many, many years.
I read The Ritual by Adam Nevill (so good!). I also kept track of hours (minutes) read and pages read.
Closing Survey!
1. Which hour was most daunting for you?
Definitely Hour 24!
2. Tell us ALLLLL the books you read!
Like I said above, one book, but that's pretty darn good for me in a 24 hour period (actually 9 hours total). That book was The Ritual by Adam Nevill.
3. Which books would you recommend to other Read-a-thoners?
If you like horror, I highly recommend The Ritual (see above). There is a movie adaptation on Netflix that is pretty darn good too, but as usual, the book is much better.
4. What’s a really rad thing we could do during the next Read-a-thon that would make you smile?
I can't really think of anything, but I will say that I was really pleased with the mini-challenge format this time. So nice to be able to participate in them at our leisure during the entire readathon. Thank you!
5. How likely are you to participate in the Read-a-thon again? Would you be interested in volunteering to help organize and prep?
Very likely to participate again.
I would volunteer, but since I have my own readathon blog/group, Seasons of Reading, from which I host four month long seasonal readathons and two special two week readathons yearly, I've got my hands pretty full.
Thanks for the fun! See you next time in October!

I took part in the Readathon too - while I couldn't read as much as I'd have liked too, but I got quite a few pages though! :)

I liked the mini challenge format this time around, too. So much easier to keep track of
