Closing Survey

1. How would you assess your reading overall?

I thought I wasn't doing very well because I only read half of the books I wanted to, but 10 books is still a lot and I think 1158 pages is probably the most I've ever read during a readathon.

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

Not really, just to read as much as possible. 

3. What was your favourite snack?

Homemade pumpkin bread

4. Did you add any new books to your TBR/wishlist after seeing what everyone else is reading?

Yeah, whenever I see what other people are reading I always end up adding more books to my never-ending wishlist. 

5. What was your favourite book or experience from this readathon?

I loved reading nostalgic books from my childhood like The Adventures of the Bailey School Kids and The Baby-Sitters Club.

Mid-Event Survey

1. What are you reading right now? 

Stacey and the Haunted Masquerade by Ann M. Martin

2. How many books have you read so far? 

Four: Mrs. Jeepers' Scariest Halloween Ever by Debbie Dadey and Marcia Thornton Jones, The Monsters Next Door by Debbie Dadey and Marcia Thornton Jones, Ma and Pa Dracula by Ann M. Martin and Dawn and the Halloween Mystery by Ann M. Martin

3. What book are you most looking forward to for the second half of the Read-a-thon? 

Halloween Party by R.L. Stine...I started reading it earlier, but I stopped because I wanted to have something to look forward to in the second half of the readathon.

4. Have you had many interruptions? How did you deal with those? 

I let myself get distracted a bunch of times today, so I haven't read as much as I wanted to, but I still have time to catch up!

5. What surprises you most about the Read-a-thon, so far?

How little I've been able to read so far even though all the books I chose are super short. I'm going to focus more in the second half.
