Okay, now that I'm mobile and have coffee in hand, it's time to wrap-up read-a-thon. In the end I finished five books (and almost half of six) for a total of 1,408. After some math, that means I will be donating $70.40 to First Book. Since I like easier numbers, I will be rounding that up to $75.
Now onto the end-of-event survey:
Which hour was most daunting for you?
Definitely Hour 18, my last. I could barely keep my eyes open.
Could you list a few high-interest books that you think could keep a Reader engaged for next year?
Anything by Erica Bauermeister has been a winner for me. I also find that YA is better suited for read-a-thon.
Do you have any suggestions for how to improve the Read-a-thon next year?
I thought it was awesome this year. I've got no changes.
What do you think worked really well in this year’s Read-a-thon?

As long as my schedule allows, I will be there as a reader.
