1. Which hour was most daunting for you?

The first really, but I was also up for the challenge! :D

2. Could you list a few high-interest books that you think could keep a Reader engaged for next year?

I’d definitely suggest, The Invention of Hugo Cabret, a brilliant book and the device of using illustrations to tell part of the tale, is great to give tired eyes a bit of an easier time!

3. Do you have any suggestions for how to improve the Read-a-thon next year?

Not really, I suppose finding out about it and deciding to go for it three days beforehand, could have been better planned, I could have kept some of those really easy to read books, back especially for it.

4. What do you think worked really well in this year’s Read-a-thon?

The idea itself.

5. How many books did you read?

5.5

6. What were the names of the books you read?

Remembering Raquel
The Girl on the Platform
The Invention of Hugo Cabret
Once upon a Time in the North
Stardust
& half of The Book Thief

7. Which book did you enjoy most?

The Invention of Hugo Cabret

8. Which did you enjoy least?

The Girl on the Platform

9. If you were a Cheerleader, do you have any advice for next year’s Cheerleaders?

N/A

10. How likely are you to participate in the Read-a-thon again? What role would you be likely to take next time?

Depending on work, then definitley.
