1. Which hour was most daunting for you?
I guess hour 20 is when I packed it in and headed to bed because I was so sleepy. I wonder what would have happened if I had tried some more caffeine.....
2. Could you list a few high-interest books that you think could keep a reader engaged for next year?
Timeless: Diego and the Rangers of the Vastlantic was so much fun. It is heavily illustrated and the final copy -- which comes out in October, just in time for the next read-a-thon -- will be in full color. Shannon Hale's The Actor and the Housewife would be another good one. And Agatha Christie is always a good bet.
3. Do you have any suggestions for how to improve the Read-a-thon next season?
Hmmm.... For myself, I will have to think about the October read-a-thon... My daughter and my partner's youngest will be with their other parent, which instantly makes it a different kind of read-a-thon. We'll see if my partner participates in October, or if I have my own little reading retreat!
4. What do you think worked really well in this year’s Read-a-thon?
Making sure people knew ahead of time that the TV was inaccessible for the duration.
5. How many books did you read?
Three, with a solid start on a fourth.
6. What were the names of the books you read?
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (the heavily illustrated edition)
Timeless: Diego and the Rangers of the Vastlantic by Armand Baltazar
Real Friends by Shannon Hale and LeUyen Pham
200/451 pages of Jane, Unlimited by Kristin Cashore - out in September!
7. Which book did you enjoy most?
Gosh. They were all pretty different from each other. I enjoyed my H.P. re-read, but I'm definitely glad that I read all of them.
