9. If you were a Cheerleader, do you have any advice for next year’s Cheerleaders?
I wasn't, but I'd like to try it one readathon. Thank you, cheerleaders! Thank you, Diane! Thank you, Louise! Thank you, softdrink!
10. How likely are you to participate in the Read-a-thon again? What role would you be likely to take next time?
It's almost assured I will participate next time. I loved it. And I will probably be a reader again.
A final readathon challenge...A desperately competitive nature drives me to want more followers....I'm extending this challenge to the end of the month to anyone who becomes a follower....
Congrats on reading all those books! :) LOL @ your improvement suggestion!
ReplyDeleteLOL :-) congratulations!!!
ReplyDeleteYou did great. My children's books didn't arrive in time for the read-a-thon. Maybe they will next week.
ReplyDeleteAww, you're very welcome. Congratulations on a very successful readathon!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations - what a great wrap-up. I loved your improvement suggestion :)
ReplyDeleteOh. my. gosh. I got ten books read this weekend. Wrote a couple of posts for this week. And thought I was doing great. Until I looked at your blog tonight. Wow. Wow. Wow. You read. And wrote. A bunch! AMAZING! Can't wait to read some of these!
ReplyDeleteWow, that's a stack of books -- congrats on a job well done!
ReplyDeleteI'm drooling over the idea of that many children's books in a day. Maybe I'll do that next time!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on such a great read-a-thon, Debbie! I'm tempted to spend an afternoon sitting in the children's department at work and pick out a stack of books to read with a big hot mocha. There are so many great books out there for kids.
ReplyDeleteI am enjoying reading your reviews. I love the conciseness of each one. Something Ihave difficulty with.
ReplyDeleteI think we should replace all textbooks with children's picture books! All of them! All textbooks---gone! And replaced with delightful picture books.
