End of the Spring 2015 Dewey's 24 Hour Read-a-thon

 End of event meme:

 Which hour was most daunting for you?

     Hour 23.  I'd slept some earlier and planned to stay up the rest of the time but just couldn't make it and in the last 15 minutes of hour 23 went back to bed.


Could you list a few high-interest books that you think could keep a Reader engaged for next year?

     If you like children's books, Castle Hangnail by Ursula Vernon is fun, witty and easy to read.


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

     Nope.


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

     Everything.

How many books did you read?

     4.25

What were the names of the books you read?

     Castle Hangnail by Ursula Vernon, Jim Butcher's Dresden Files: War Cry by Jim Butcher (Author), Mark Powers (Author), Carlos Gomez (Artist), Stjepan Sejic (Artist), Winnie-the-Pooh: A.A. Milne's Pooh Classics, Volume 1 by A. A. Milne, Mercy Thompson: Hopcross Jilly by Patricia Briggs, Rik Hoskin and Tom Garcia and started Snuff by Terry Pratchett.

Which book did you enjoy most?

    Castle Hangnail by Ursula Vernon.


Which did you enjoy least?

     Mercy Thompson: Hopcross Jilly by Patricia Briggs, Rik Hoskin and Tom Garcia though by enjoy the lease I mean I really enjoyed it but it was my least favorite of the 5.


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

     I plan to participate as a reader.


Closing thoughts:  The cheerleaders this time were amazing and the readathon was fun and relaxing.  Thank you to all who put this together. I know it must be such hard work but it is something many of us look forward to and would truly miss.  As someone who is having a very hard year, this is the only vacation I'm likely to get for the foreseeable future and it was a good one!

    1. Do try Patricia Briggs books. They are fun, generally quick books to read. My favorite is her Hurog Duology which is more traditional fantasy but for urban fantasy nothing beats her Mercy Thompson series.
