Dewey's 24 Hour RaT Wrap-UpWhich hour was most daunting for you?
At 1:30am, my eyes were really burning. I closed them for a bit while listening to an audio, and was mostly refreshed.
Tell us ALLLLL the books you read!
See Below
Which books would you recommend to other Read-a-thoners?
In general? Chronicles of St Mary's, Great Zoo of China, The Martian..... from what I read? The Arctic Code by Matthew Kirby
What’s a really rad thing we could do during the next Read-a-thon that would make you smile?
I dunno
How likely are you to participate in the Read-a-thon again? Would you be interested in volunteering to help organize and prep?
I'll definitely read, and I would be willing to help.

I read 2,030 pages
I read 5 books on my Kindle
I listened to 7 books as audiobooks
I read 5 Novels, 3 Novellas and 4 short stories
I read for approximately 19 hours (8 hours on Kindle, 11 hours on Audio)
Current Stats:
Audio listening time/pages: 11 hours / 1044 pages

Continued to read, but didn't finish:
Anyone having any luck with Mount Olympus or the Belt one? I got close on MO a few times but one or two letters would be missing. :/If any of you are interested in it, this one was ok:
We can always trade a task. I've been giving us the new Villains first, so if we find ones that aren't good, I won't give 'em to the other teams. Like I'll probably take out Mount Olympus and change the Belt one.
Mid-Event Survey1. What are you reading right now?
Nothing right now, I just finished a book, a little after my normal 12 hour update. Not sure what I'm reading next, probably Never Rest.
2. How many books have you read so far?
I just finished up my 7th book of the day
3. What book are you most looking forward to for the second half of the Read-a-thon?
Nothing really. I'm going for shorter books this time round to get me into the groove of reading and/or books for challenges.
4. Have you had many interruptions? How did you deal with those?
Just my Hubby but He's been letting me read. :) We visited for a few minutes when He got home from work, and talked here and there, but for the most part, He's been watching shows and I've been reading. No real distractions this year, and I only didn't read for about and hour and a half of the first 12 hours.
5. What surprises you most about the Read-a-thon, so far?
Nothing changes, so nothing.

Damn, I forgot my Hubby works with flowers. LOL! He says He's not sure cuz of how it's broken up but yes, He believes it looks enough like one.
Sorry that I missed that you asked before. :( Thread must of got buried. I thought I had notifications on but I don't, sorry about that. I'll go ahead and say yes, we'll accept it, cuz it looks a lot like this, which is an orchid.

Since we're missing GreenFairy, here's two picks for you, Angie:
~ cuz you need to get back to Oberon!!
~ cuz I wanna try this and it's on my TBR but I haven't yet, so you try it and let me know if I'll like it ;)
We opened it up Eni (see post 564) so anyone can do anything now, though still sticking with houses til Griff/Huffle is full up. It has been a slow going on, so you might catch up still. :)
I have my book picked out for you and will start it this coming week.
I can take this one. I haven't been reading a lot though, so not sure when I'll finish it up. + Read a Book that has all the letters of QUIDDITCH in its Title (subtitles allowed)
I understand Twist. I don't like Classics either, so that one will probably be pretty hard for me. How about an Epic Fantasy? Might be something that long. I know The Way of Kings is just over 1000. Is any of the Outlander books that long?
I'll be on the lookout.
