1. Which hour was most daunting for you?

The final hour that I participated in, which was midnight-1am for me.

2. Could you list a few high-interest books that you think could keep a Reader engaged for next year?
Diary of a Wimpy Kid by Jeff Kinney
Harry Potter books by JK Rowling

3. Do you have any suggestions for how to improve the Read-a-thon next year?
no
4. What do you think worked really well in this year’s Read-a-thon?
everything.

5. How many books did you read?
five
6. What were the names of the books you read?
Finished:
Diary of A Wimpy Kid by Jeff Kinney
Bunnicula by James Howe
Coraline by Neil Gaiman
Love Is The Higher Law by David Leviathan
Life As We Knew It by Susan Beth Pfeffer
Started-but-not-finished:
Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules by Jeff Kinney

7. Which book did you enjoy most?
Definitely a toss up between Life As We Knew It and Diary of A Wimpy Kid
8. Which did you enjoy least?
They were all good. If I had to choose, probably Coraline

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?
Definitely, and most likely as a reader next time. I feel like I’d like to do a personal mini-readathon in December when school is over and it’s Christmas season, since I’ll be able to have a 24 hr period in which I’ll be free

"Life As We Knew It" was your favorite? Now I'm sort of disappointed that I didn't get to it during the Readathon. Hopefully I can before it is due back at the library, though.

A mini-marathon would be great. You could probably find a lot of people that weren't able to do it this time that might want to join you.

If you want company during your mini-readathon in December, I would so be game.
