Dewey’s Read-a-Thon Update 6
The Hour 12 post contained a Mid-Event survey:
1. What are you reading right now?
Committed by Elizabeth Gilbert
2. How many books have you read so far?
One completely, part of three others
3. What book are you most looking forward to for the second half of the Read-a-thon?
A stack of children’s books I intend to read when I get too tired for much of anything else
4. Did you have to make any special arrangements to free up your whole day?
I didn’t manage to free up my whole day! Maybe I should try special arrangements next time.
5. Have you had many interruptions? How did you deal with those?
Let them interrupt! I think it made the day more fun than resisting them would have been.
6. What surprises you most about the Read-a-thon, so far?
How fun it is to play the mini-challenges and how much I would like to be visiting other blogs but, so far, I have been reading instead. Maybe later.
7. Do you have any suggestions for how to improve the Read-a-thon next year?
I’m feeling too new at all this to offer suggestions.
8. What would you do differently, as a Reader or a Cheerleader, if you were to do this again next year?
I am enjoying the Reader role, but I now realize I would get perhaps a bigger kick from the Cheerleader role, so I will try that next time.
9. Are you getting tired yet?
Nope. This is fun!
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?
Laying on the floor on my stomach to read (like I did when I was 12) is still a viable position, especially when I’ve been sitting too long.
I’m off to prep supper. Rick is actually going to do the cooking, so I’ll be back shortly.

GOOOOOOO GET EM TIGER!!!
I had to take a break from “trying” to read to come around and cheer a bit. Good luck as we head into the last ten hours! ๐
I’ve been on the fence about Committed. Hope you enjoy it!
This is my first time as a cheerleader, and I’m having fun at it! It took me too read-a-thon’s under my belt to get up the nerve though! You should definitely give it a try next time if you feel comfortable with it, we’d love to have you!
You’re doing great! Keep it up! So glad you could join us today and hope you’re having fun!
Cover to Cover
And Coast to Coast
Across the Oceans
We’ve been brought together
By what we love the most!
Let’s hear it for the readers!
I think being a cheerleader is a lot of fun! It can be hard, since it feels like you never quite do enough, but it’s cool to see other bloggers around. I hope you like Committed — I’ve been on the fence about reading any Elizabeth Gilbert.
I know you’re tired
And losin’ the fire
You’d rather be sleeping
But keep on reading!!
Glad you’re having fun!! And enjoy the food. ๐
