This 24hrs went by so quickly! I ended up going to sleep around 12am, but was back up at 5:30 when E decided to wake up for the day. Typically, Sunday is my day to sleep in (meaning 7:30), but today the husband got a 2nd day of extra rest, so I could finish up a book!
I had a lot of fun, knocked a bunch of books off my TBR, and had a great time connecting with new bloggers around the world. This readathon is unlike anything else I participate in and I'm definitely going to make it a priority from now on. Thanks to all the hosts and cheerleaders and organizers -- you guys are fantastic!

1. Which hour was most daunting for you?
Around 11pm I began to really lose interest in my book. I just didn't want to look at pages anymore, so I slowly read a few more pages while watching an episode of Call the Midwife before crashing.
2. Could you list a few high-interest books that you think could keep a Reader engaged for next year?
Both Boxers and Saints were quick, graphic novel reads that kept me turning pages quickly.

3. Do you have any suggestions for how to improve the Read-a-thon next year?
Nope, you guys are great!
4. What do you think worked really well in this year's Read-a-thon?
I haven't participated for a few years, so this might not be new, but it seemed like the variety of mini-challenges was great. I didn't participate in a lot of them, just because I preferred sticking with my book, but they were fun!
5. How many books did you read?
5.5, plus some audio.
6. What were the names of the books you read?
Boxers by Gene Luen Yang
Saints by Gene Luen Yang
Brave Mom by Sherry Surratt
Belzhar by Meg Wolitzer
Small Victories by Anne Lamott
2nd half of The Infinite Sea by Rick Yancey
7. Which did you enjoy least?
The Infinite Sea. The beginning was great, the middle and end totally lost me.
8. How likely are you to participate again?
I absolutely will, as a Reader.
