Dewey's Read-a-thon -- End of Event Meme

Which hour was most daunting for you?
Well, this was such a different read-a-thon for me -- Since I didn't have any pledges based on quantity, and since I was needed at work, and since my boss is sick and I didn't also want to get sick, I hardly pushed myself, only reading for five hours, 45 minutes, and 42 seconds.  So there wasn't really a daunting hour for me...

Could you list a few high-interest books that you think could keep a Reader engaged for next year?
 Hmmm..  Let's see . . . How about Blackout by Connie Willis, The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss, Across the Universe by Beth Revis, and How I Killed Pluto and Why It Had It Coming by Mike Brown.

How many books did you read?
I only finished one this year!

What were the names of the books you read?
I read The Beginning of After by Jennifer Castle and I am on page 190 of Liesl and Poby Lauren Oliver -- so a total of 615 pages read.

Which book did you enjoy most?
They were both good reads.  Usually, I try to read a mix of fiction, non-fiction, children's lit, YA, etc.  This year I only got to YA and children's lit -- a non-fiction, What It Is Like to Go to War,  was next on the pile. 

How likely are you to participate in the Read-a-thon again?
Extremely -- I can only hope my schedule cooperates.
