Dewey’s 24 Hour Read-a-Thon: Mid-Event Survey

Posted 28 April 2013 in events, Uncategorized /3 Comments

Just finished dinner…here’s my responses to the mid-event survey!

1) How are you doing? Sleepy? Are your eyes tired? My eyes were tired before I breaked for dinner, I actually shut them for about 15 minutes while lying on my bed…that little refresher did the trick, though, and I’m feeling bright eyed once again!

2) What have you finished reading? I’ve finished Beyond the Beautiful Forevers (had about 50 pages left to read today), and read in their entireties Silver Linings Playbook and When the King Comes Home
3) What is your favorite read so far? Silver Linings Playbook
4) What about your favourite snacks? Cheese cubes and gummy Coke bottles (not at the same time, though ;))
5) Have you found any new blogs through the readathon? If so, give them some love! I have been keeping socializing to the minimum, but towards the end of the event, I hope to check out some more participants’ blogs 🙂
