Dewey's 24-hour read-a-thon: Hour 24 + One over all update + reflection
April 26, 2015End of event meme:
1: Q: Which hour was most daunting for you?
A: Hour 23 because I was barely staying awake :)
2) Q: Could you list a few high-interest books that you think could keep a reader engaged for next year?
A: A Magic Dark and Bright by: Jenny Adams Perinovic.... That's all I can think of off the top of my head...
3) Q: Do you have any suggestions for how to improve the read-a-thon next year?
A: In general, no. But I could improve my personal read-a-thon experience.
4) Q: What do you think worked really well in this year's read-a-thon?
A: The overall atmosphere was amazing :)
5) Q: How many books did you read?
A: Well......I read 1 but didn't finish it (It's sad, I know)
6) Q: What were the names of the books you read?
A: The Archived by: Victoria Schwab .....that's all
7) Q: Which book did you enjoy most?
A: I know it's a real shocker but, the Archived by: Victoria Schwab
8) Q: Which did you enjoy the least?
A: Well, there's no point in me answering this question...
9) (Question for cheerleaders)
10) Q: How likely are you to participate in the read-a-thon again? What role would you be likely to take next time?
A: I am definitely participating again! (Despite my sucky reading skills) I will definitely sign up as a reader again, too!

One over all update:
Over the entire read-a-thon I read 192 pages of The Archived by: Victoria Schwab.
I actually only read for 5 hours out of the 24-hour time period I was given. In general, I'm not a particularly fast reader so 192 pages out of 321 wasn't that bad.
I accidentally fell asleep while reading because it was 4 a.m and I could barely focus on what I was reading...
I'm definitely going to finish The Archived today because I'm enjoying it.

Personal Reflection:
Like I said above, I'll definitely be participating in October. During the periods of time where I was reading I had a blast!
I definitely should have listened to other readers, bloggers, etc. about reading shorter books. I thought that the 300 page mark was short but I think I definitely would have done better if I would have chosen graphic novels and books around the 100-200 page mark.
I also plan to dedicate a lot more time to the next read-a-thon. like I mentioned before, I only read about 5-hours out of the 24-hours which definitely wasn't enough time to accomplish anything.
