TSS/Read-a-thon: End of Event meme

Here comes the End of Event meme

1. Which hour was most daunting for you?

The last four hours were daunting for me. I couldn't concentrate at all.

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

Crime fiction works great. So do graphic novels. I think the Millenium Trilogy by Stieg Larsson will keep one hooked till the end. I ought to have saved those for the readathon!

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

I think the present format is great.

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

Cheerleaders, I think. However, I don't think I had many cheerleading me! Me being a veteran, maybe they thought I didn't need cheering! *grin*

5. How many books did you read?

Two. Both Crime fiction.

6. What were the names of the books you read?

The Cutting by James Hayman (Pages 326)
Child 44 by Tom Rob Smith (Pages 436)

7. Which book did you enjoy most?

I liked The Cutting Better.

8. Which did you enjoy least?

N/A

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

N/A

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

I will come back for it next time around and as a reader!

My thoughts:

I called it a day at 2 pm my time, 3 1/2 hours before finish as I simply couldn't concentrate on what I was reading. This time I couldn't read more than two books but I liked both the books I read. Both kept me hooked despite being somewhat heavy books. Most important is, I had fun. I wanted to visit fellow readers but somehow couldn't. I did take part in a couple of mini-challenges though. I did not win any prizes, but that's ok.
