I'm glad you had a great first readathon! I remember it was such an exciting thing my first time, like being told as a child that you had twenty-four hours to go wild in a sweets shop! :D

Yes I will. I just havent posted yet. I am reading at full speed :)
Hello everybody and here we go again.It's now time for yet another Readathon, and I'm loving it.
I know this post is a bit late but.. well.. here it is :)
I was participating in the last readathon as my first. This time will be a bit different. Me and my partner enjoyed it last time, but we overdid it with too many plans and things to do. This time focus is on enjoying what it's about. Books :)
Also again this year, me and my book loving partner are participating together <3
Opening Survey!
1) What fine part of the world are you reading from today?
I am reading from Denmark
2) Which book in your stack are you most looking forward to?
The Princess - A true story about life behind the veil in Saudi Arabia by Jean Sasson
3) Which snack are you most looking forward to?
Absolutely my girlfriends butter-roasted pecan nuts. Mmm!
4) Tell us a little something about yourself!
32 year old book reader that's reading way less than i want to, but trying to get more books read!
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?
Definately focus on the joy of books, cozyness and snuggles
So here we go. We are rolling on with the readathon.
I hope you all enjoy yourself! :)
Mod
hey Peter! You still in THIS? She asks knowingly
So now the Readathon is over and what fun it was!This year, as you can see, I've focused a lot loss on SoMe than last year and more on the reading, as I think that what's it's all about. And that feels good.
I did want to do the half way survey.. But... Someone fell asleep, while my gf marched on into the night!
But I had a blast reading for this 24 hours. It was a total joy of books, good food, snacks, cozyness and snuggles.
so here is my Closing survey!
Closing Survey
How would you assess your reading overall?
Very good. I have read a whole book from start to finish, a couple of fairytales and a some of a novel. It was a very good experience not to focus so much on SoMe and just dedicate this 24hours to books. It was very joyful!
Did you have a stategy, and if so, did you stick to it?
The strategy was reading, being creative and just enjoy it all. And that mission is accomplished!
What was your favorite snack?
My gf's butter roasted pean nuts
Chocolate and sparkling water!
Wanna volunteer for our next event? Stay tuned for the recap post!
That sounds good! :)
Sounds like you and Karina had a good readathon!
