Had to take a little break to make dinner and talk with family.  We had enchiladas.  Also, some pics of my reading spaces.  Sorry they’re not that clear — they were taken from my cell phone.

Readathon Mid-Event Survey

Mid-Event Survey:

1. What are you reading right now?

  • Lost in a Good Book by Jasper Fforde


2. How many books have you read so far?

  • One and parts of two others.


3. What book are you most looking forward to for the second half of the Read-a-thon?

  • Finishing up In the Company of Cheerful Ladies by Alexander McCall Smith


4. Did you have to make any special arrangements to free up your whole day?

  • Not really.  This is my 4th readathon, so my family is used to it by now.  Thankfully, I have two teenage sons and a husband who can take care of themselves for a day!

5. Have you had many interruptions? How did you deal with those?

  • A few, but nothing major.  That’s to be expected!

6. What surprises you most about the Read-a-thon, so far?

  • That I enjoy it so much every single time!!!

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

  • None.  Great job!

8. What would you do differently, as a Reader or a Cheerleader, if you were to do this again next year?

  • Nothing really.  I know what works for me by now!

9. Are you getting tired yet?

  • A little.  I only got 5 hours of sleep last night, so I might have to take a little nap later!

10. Do you have any tips for other Readers or Cheerleaders, something you think is working well for you that others may not have discovered?

  • No, everyone is so different in what works for them.  It’s really trial and error.
