Tackle Your TBR Read-a-thon Update

I have had a busy time at college and just haven't found the time to write this post. I did record my progress for the entire readathon. The problem is when I'm unable to participate in the blogging community during readathons I don't get as much reading done. I think I did good as I was still adjusting to college life.

Finish Line Hour 24 Dewey's Readathon October 2013

1. Which hour was most daunting for you? I made it to hour 16 before I was falling asleep and decided to call it a day. 
2. Could you list a few high-interest books that you think could keep a Reader engaged for next year? I read City of Fallen Angels. 
3. Do you have any suggestions for how to improve the Read-a-thon next year? The readathon is so great. I don't have any suggestions to make it better. 
4. What do you think worked really well in this year’s Read-a-thon? The hourly posts are always my favorite. 
5. How many books did you read? I read part of 1. 
6. What were the names of the books you read? City of Fallen Angels by Cassandra Clare
7. Which book did you enjoy most? I only read one. 
8. Which did you enjoy least? none.
9. If you were a Cheerleader, do you have any advice for next year’s Cheerleaders? Keep on cheering you guys are great. 
10. How likely are you to participate in the Read-a-thon again? What role would you be likely to take next time? I'm so excited to participate again in April although I need some time to recover from this readathon. I would be a reader again because this readathon helps me get more reading done. 

I read from 8:10 to 8:45 from pg 318 to pg 334 in City of Fallen Angels by Cassandra Clare

I read from 9:12 to 10:20 from pg 334 to pg 359

Cumulative Stats:

Total Time Read: 3 hours 44 minutes

Total Pages Read: 92

What was different in this read-a-thon from the April read-a-thon? 

• In April I was a high school senior with a lot of time on my hand
• Now I'm a college student with lots of homework and way more responsibility
• I didn't have a laid back Saturday this time because we are busy in the fall where things calm down in the spring
• I did more update posts in April because I had more to update about
• I finished a book in April

Overall I had so much fun being apart of Dewey's October Readathon and I will be glad to participate again in April if time allows. I will have updates for tons of readathons I have completed coming your way. 

Thanks

I have been supper busy with college and haven't been able to post a lot, but I'm looking forward to getting back into blogging. 
5) If you participated in the last read-a-thon, what’s one thing you’ll do different today? If this is your first read-a-thon, what are you most looking forward to?

This is my 2nd Dewey's Readathon. The difference between this time and last time is I actually have one small book and I know I'm going to like all the books I have. 

I'm starting Dewey's Readathon at 8:30 am central time at page 267 of City of Fallen Angels by Cassandra Clare

Wonderfully Wicked and Dewey's Readathon sign up

Although I have tons of readathon updates coming next week plus a post about why I have been so MIA I'm excited to announce my participation in these two readathons. The first is the Wonderfully Wicked Readathon Hosted by My Shelf Confessions and the 2nd is Dewey's 24 hour readathon hosted by 24hourreadathon. 

My goal is to finish City of Fallen Angels, continue reading Where she Went, and start reading Divergent if time allows. 

Thanks
