Dewey's Read-a-Thon

Hello everyone! Nymeth here – I’ll be doing the hourly updates for the next 6 hours. We’re now halfway through the read-a-thon, which means it’s time for the Mid-Event Meme.  We invite you to answer the following questions and then enter your link in the Mr Linky below:

Mid-Event Survey:
1. What are you reading right now?

2. How many books have you read so far?

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

4. Did you have to make any special arrangements to free up your whole day?

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

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

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

8. What would you do differently, as a Reader or a Cheerleader, if you were to do this again next year?

9. Are you getting tired yet?

10. Do you have any tips for other Readers or Cheerleaders, something you think is working well for you that others may not have discovered?

We’ll select two winners: one of them will get an attaché full of books and a chocolate monkey, and the other a Hachette bundle of books.

Winners:
The winner of Erika’s mini-challenge is:  Emily! Congratulations! Please email deweyreadathon at gmail to claim your loot.

If you complete the survey and add the direct link to your answers in the Mr Linky in this post, you’ll be entered in a drawing for a Chocolate Monkey and a box of Earth Day books from Hachette Book Group (see the prize list for a picture of the monkey and the contents of the box). Winners will be announced hour 17.
