Closing Survey

1. How would you assess your reading overall?

I stayed up for the full 24 hours and I read more during this readathon than I have during the previous ones, so I would say it went well.

2. Did you have a strategy, and if so, did you stick to it?

My strategy was to focus on reading this time and not do any challenges in hopes of getting more reading done. I stuck to that and it ended up being the most I've ever read during a readathon.

3. What was your favourite snack?

Reese's pretzels—it was my first time trying them and I loved them! They're even better than chocolate covered pretzels!

4. Tell us a little something about yourself!

I work in a thrift store, which is where I buy most of my books (I get a 50% discount), but today most of the books in my TBR are from Kindle Unlimited because I haven't been using it much and I want to get more use out of my subscription. 

5. If you participated in the last readathon, what's one thing you'll do different today? 

I want to read more than I did during the last readathon. I say this every time, but that's always my goal.
