- How likely are you to participate in the Read-a-thon again? What role would you be likely to take next time? I will participate again as a reader.
My mistake this time was to use the Read-a-thon to try to clean up my Kindle. First, because many of the books are just impulse buys because they were freebies or very cheap, so not books I was really invested in reading. Second, reading for that long on my Kindle bothered my eyes. Third, all my books were mysteries. Mysteries are my go-to genre, but four in a row (especially when a couple were just ok) was a problem.
Still now I know and I can have a better plan for next time.
It is indeed really important to choose read that will have you interested specially when you get tired. With 4 books you did very well!!
You did great! I didn’t finish one book! I can totally understand that reading too much of one genre is head frying, especially 4 in one day!
Sounds like a good read-a-thon. Good to know that all mysteries might not be as enticing as it sounds. I like mysteries, but I also like variety!
Thanks for being with us! I hope we’ll see you again in April. 🙂 –Andi
