TSS/Dewey's 24 Hour Read-a-thon:Wrap Up!


id

Finally it is over! Due to unavoidable reasons, I started the read-a-thon after 4 hours and lost 5 odd hours to sleep. Now I am kind of comfortable with how much reading I did in the time left. I finished 4 1/2 books. All from different genres and very good reads.

Random Acts of Heroic love Danny Schienmann, pages 428
Breathing Out The Ghost by Kirk Curnutt, pages 329
The Pleasure Trap by Elizabeth Thornton, pages 385
Going to see the elephants by Rodes Fishburne, pages 293
The Camel Bookmobile by Masha Hamilton, 158/308
Sinai Tapestry by Edward Whittemore, Pages 23

Total pages read: 1616


I abandoned Sinai Tapestry by Edward Whittemore, after 23 pages. As it is a heavy read, I simply couldn't concentrate on this book in the last hours and left it, selecting another.

Graphic novels, romance novels, light breezy reads,

I think it is perfect the way it is.

All that cheerleading, what else!

9. If you were a Cheerleader, do you have any advice for next year’s Cheerleaders?

If possible, they ought to serve us all coffee and tea! Kidding!

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

Yes, of course! As a reader!

Now I don't want to look at another book for atleast a couple of days..:D
