I crapped out at 12:20 p.m. last night with 90 pages left in Limelight. I just couldn’t make it. No big deal since I managed to get a Blackout on #Readathon Bingo, heh. Everything else was gravy.
Woke up late this morning and lazily finished Limelight out on the back deck with the dogs. Limelight was fun – a beach read or something to read before you head to NYC for a fun vacation.
We’re spending the rest of today doing a #FakeReadathon because we can. I’m reading Every Heart a Doorway next.
And, here’s my end of #Readathon survey:
1. Which hour was most daunting for you?
– 11 a.m. (and I took a nap, hah) and again at 11 p.m. – I didn’t manage to hold out much later than that last one.
2. Tell us ALLLLL the books you read!
– I finished The Bear and the Nightingale.
– I read a horror short story by Somer Canon and an essay/short story by Carole Maso.
– I read a Manga, The World’s Greatest Love.
– A cookbook, Dinner Illustrated.
– Two children’s picture books: I’m a Girl and Introducing Teddy.
– Some Maisie Dobbs on audio.
– And, most of Limelight.
3. Which books would you recommend to other Read-a-thoners?
– The Bear and the Nightingale was fabulous. The cookbook is pretty good. Anything by Carole Maso is amazing. I’m a Girl is really well done. Limelight is good, for a beach read.
4. What’s a really rad thing we could do during the next Read-a-thon that would make you happy?
– I really liked the bingo idea and I loved, loved, loved having all of the mini-challenges ready from the start, rather than having to check in hourly to see which new challenges are live.
5. How likely are you to participate in the Read-a-thon again? Would you be interested in volunteering to help organize and prep?
– Of course I’ll do #Readathon again. I almost always do. Volunteering to organize/prep… maybe.
