End of Event Questionnaire;
1. Most daunting hour was probably right before I fell asleep around 7.30am. Think that's around hour 19.
2. Not sure I can recommend any books from this years pile. I think I picked ones that were far too long. The first Anne Tyler was my favourite though.
3. No suggestions for improvement.
4. The mini challenges seemed interesting although I didn't take part in that many.
5. I have read three and a bit books this time.
6. I read; A Patchwork World, Monday Mourning, Kingdom of the World.
7. Already mentioned my favourite book in question 2.
8. The book I enjoyed the least was the Skulduggery. Simply because I was at my most tired and it wasn't quite as good as the rest of the series. More disappointed than dislike.
9. No advice for future cheerleaders. Thought they did a fab job and they made me laugh (in a good way).
10. I doubt I will be able to take part over the next few years as my studies are getting heavier. If I had known how much my work load was going to increase I wouldn't have taken part in this one (had already taken in sponsorship).
FINISHED: I am so tired now. How did I manage the full 24hours and the stay awake reading for another two in April? Anyways, I am off for power nap. I will give my final update later. Well done everyone!
CONGRATULATIONS! And hey, at least you squeezed in one last Dewey before work takes over, right? It's awesome that you're doing it for a mental health charity too - I'm not Scottish, but I AM bipolar and a recovered agoraphobic, so I still appreciate it! :)
ReplyDeleteHope you had a lot of fun, even if not every book turned out to be a smash hit! Go, rest, enjoy your Sunday afternoon...
congratulations to both of us. It's a fab charity. I cam across them quite a bit on my mental health placement. They work very closely with mental health nurses. I have at least four members of my family who suffer from depression and anxiety so I did it for them as much as for the patients I came across. My gran had agoraphobia. Suffered for years with it but eventually got help.
DeleteHope you enjoy your Sunday afternoon too. x
Congratulations!! You did an amazing job!! :) :) I loved this event! I had an incredible time :)
ReplyDeleteIt was indeed a good event. Thank you.
DeleteGreat job for crossing the finish line! See you in April! CheerSmarties
ReplyDeleteThank you. I don't think I will be there in April. If I am I will only be doing 12 hours at the most.
DeleteI wish I'd thought of reading an Anne Tyler. Oh well, maybe in April.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely a good choice. I have my friend to thank for that as she loaned me them.
DeleteYou made it all the way, that is awesome! Congrats :) I petered out at the beginning of hour 23..zzzz.

No, I honestly didn't. I took two hours out near the end. Came back in half way through hour 21. I think I would have slept right to the end if it hadn't been for my thumb trapped in a hardback.
