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



  End of event meme:

 Which hour was most daunting for you?

     Hour 22.  I made it most of the way through and then just had to give up and take an hour nap.  Maybe I'll make it the whole way next spring.

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

     The Taryn's Camera series by Rebecca Patrick-Howard is an entertaining, historically interesting set of ghost stories that are relatively quick reads.


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?

     4.50

What were the names of the books you read?

 Jekyll Island by Rebecca Patrick-Howard, Hamster Princess: Harriet the Invincible by Ursula Vernon, Star Wars: Clone Wars: The Defense of Kamino and Other Tales by John Ostrander (author), Haden Blackman (author), Jan Duursema (artist) and Tomas Giorello (artist), The Bippolo Seed and Other Lost Stories by Dr. Seuss and a quarter each of  Between You & Me: Confessions of a Comma Queen by Mary Norris and Jim Butcher's Dresden Files: Down Town by Jim Butcher, Carlos Gómez (Artist), Stjepan Sejic (Artist).

Which book did you enjoy most?

The Bippolo Seed and Other Lost Stories by Dr. Seuss.  Mostly because this was such an unexpected surprise found in the the  Free Library of Philadelphia's Digital Media Library.


Which did you enjoy least?

 Between You & Me: Confessions of a Comma Queen by Mary Norris.  This is really a good book and I look forward to finishing it but if I have to pick a least enjoyable book this is it.


 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.
