2023

New questions again! What is happening?! Hah. And, I’m late with this (story of my life right now) and didn’t even bother with the mid-event survey (I bet there were new questions, weren’t there?!!)

1. How many books did you read during this readathon? Did you have any favorites?

I read three… not sure I can call any of them my favorites. I enjoyed them all. (50 pages of The Lace Maker’s Secret, 50 pages of The Art Thief, 260 pages of Bad Summer People.)

2. How many books did you finish?

I only finished Bad Summer People.

3. Did you accomplish your goals for this readathon?

Hahaha, nope. I knew I wouldn’t. I just don’t read print books very often.

4. How did your snacks and meals work out? Are there things you would change about the food and beverages side of your readathon for next time?

The food was fine. Hopefully we’ll be better prepared for the next one rather than waiting til the last minute.

5. Did you enjoy this readathon? What was the most successful part of your readathon? What would you change for next time?

I always enjoy readathon. I was glad to finish Bad Summer People since I was just reading it to knock out one of the Amazon Kindle fall challenge bookmarks. Next time I’m hoping to not have a broken ankle. hah.

6. Will you be continuing your readathon reading past the end of our official readathon?

Nope. I’ll read of course but I have other things I want to do today.

Well … this is the latest I’ve ever done the opening survey. Also, it’s changed this time around and that feels weird. Not bad weird, just weird.

1) What part of the world are you reading from today?

The “guest bedroom” in my house. This is a first for us. We’ve never done a readathon in this room before. It’s kinda weird.

2) Which book in your stack are you most looking forward to?

I have no idea since I don’t know what the heck I’m reading except for the two I’ve already started.

3) Which snacks are you most looking forward to?

Another frustration… I thought #readathon was next weekend, which is ridiculous but true, so we are stuck with whatever snack foods Kroger decided to deliver this morning. I feel like I’m really just looking forward to pimento cheese + naan. I should really keep the snacking on the light side anyway, since I’m getting very little exercise due to the broken ankle.

4) Tell us a little something about yourself!

I have a damn broken ankle… well wait, is it officially still broken if it’s been screwed/plated together? I guess probably since I have to grow some new bone there anyway. I’m only PWB (partial weight bearing) and using a knee scooter or a rolling walker + air boot to get around. Mostly I lay in bed with my foot up. Fun stuff.

5) What are your goals for this readathon?

NEW question! Hmmm goals? I’ve never really made goals for readathon before. I don’t have a page goal or a total books read goal or an hours read goal. OK Here’s a goal. I need to finish ONE print book within the next 24 hours. (I’m totally going to fail hahaha.)

HAPPY READATHON TO EVERYONE WHO IS PARTICIPATING!
