Rachida's Read-A-Thon Progress
Shelley wrote: "Animal Farm is a good short but intense book for this. Good choice!"Totally agree! I rated it 5 stars!
Hey Rachida :) You're doing so, so, so great! Keep it going! Welcome to Hour 12!
Nádia wrote: "Hey Rachida :) You're doing so, so, so great! Keep it going! Welcome to Hour 12!"Thank you so much! The Bingo challenges keep me motivated :) (I also drank a lot of coffee lol)
Mid-Event Survey:1. What are you reading right now?
Just finished Reveal Me. Haven't started a new book yet.
2. How many books have you read so far?
3
3. What book are you most looking forward to for the second half of the Read-a-thon?
I've actually read everything I really wanted to read. I think I'd like to read a bit of either priory of adsom for the second half. Oh or maybe just continue with the avatar comics.
4. Have you had many interruptions? How did you deal with those?
Babysitting. I played with them for 4 hours before they went to bed. They were really busy but it was very fun. :)
5. What surprises you most about the Read-a-thon, so far?
That I've managed to read so much! I think that's due to all the planning I did days ago. It really helped. I planned out every meal and bingo challenge and tried to use different books (graphic novel, short classic, novel). The realization that I could read a couple pages of a book (without finishing it) and go to the next also helped A LOT!!!

BINGO BLACKOUTTTTT :D Yay the bingo was so much fun!
Well done! I've only just achieved my first line!
Kate wrote: "Well done! I've only just achieved my first line!"That's great!
I read a lot of short books and graphic novels so that definitely helped :)
Rachida wrote: "BINGO BLACKOUTTTTT :D Yay the bingo was so much fun!"
Awesome!
Closing Survey:1. How would you assess your reading overall?
Very good! I've read a total of 595 pages and only slept for 3,5 hrs. It's the most I've ever read during the Dewey's readathon. And I finally read some books I've been putting off. So I'm very proud! :D
2. Did you have a strategy, and if so, did you stick to it?
I planned out every challenge a couple of days before the readathon started and I also made a meal plan. Well it was more a list of food options but it still worked. I also LOVED starting the readathon at Starbucks! I'm definitely making that a tradition lol.
3. What was your favorite snack?
Iced coffee @ Starbucks.
4. Wanna volunteer for our next event?
Maybe :)

Enjoy your readation!

I always think it’s so interesting to reread books after many years! It’s so fun to see how your views have changes or maybe stayed the same! Either way I hope you’ll enjoy rereading it :)
