End of Event Meme

I didn't fare so well this read-a-thon.  I've never been able to make it all night, but this time I didn't even make it past 9:30 PM; not sure why I was so tired.  I just got up as well, so I didn't get any reading in this morning.

2. Could you list a few high-interest books that you think could keep a Reader engaged for next year? 
It's the little books that keep me going.  I try to add in children's books.

3. Do you have any suggestions for how to improve the Read-a-thon next year? 
It was great!

6. What were the names of the books you read? 
Too many to list...see past updates for titles

THANKS for participating! I do love the readAthon. I crashed, too and usually get up for the last few hours but I just woke up! ack. oh well. IT's good to see the cheerleaders were balanced out this year - I feel like I was not at all that good of one this year. anyway, CHEERS!

It's not a competition - if you had run while you were reading then it was a total success!

Good Job you seemed to accomplish a lot. I will use children's books next time thanks for the idea

Hope you have recovered from the read-a-thon. I slept 11 hours yesterday...LOL

When you gotta sleep you gotta sleep. I think it's more about what works for you personally than forcing yourself to do something you can't or don't want to do.

Congratulations on a successful readathon!
