Read-A-Thon wrap up

While it is hours after the official end, I just now got around to write a wrap up post for the 24 Hour Read-A-Thon in honor of Dewey. This was my first read-a-thon ever and I wished there was another one soon. I had so much fun, I can't believe it!
I googled, but I didn't find one. (If you know more, let me know ;-) )

Here are the victims:


This box was almost full when the read-a-thon started. Not much is left of the carrots, which are victim #1 of the read-a-thon.


This is the pack of cookies that I ate during the read-a-thon - victim #2.


And of course, without some green tea, I wouldn't have made it. These hand-filled tea bags are victim #3.


These are the water bottles that I drunk during the read-a-thon aka victim #4.


And this is the lecithin I took during the read-a-thon. As I meantioned earlier, my concentration is that of a goldfish, but with lecithin it's a bit better. This stuff is available in regular supermarkets, so I don't mind taking it. Lecithin - victim #5.

With all those victims, I managed to read almost three books:
1) Eun-Ah Park: Sweet & Sensitive 4
2) Eun-Ah Park: Sweet & Sensitive 5
3) Tess Gerritsen: The Mephisto Club (finished the hour after the read-a-thon ended)

And I listened to one audio book (for a second time):
Meg Cabot: How To Be Popular

Now I would have been able to read a bit more if I hadn't taken the nap, but in the end it was the best decision.

The total amount of pages I read is 694.
I would have loved to read more pages, but I can live with that.

I realized I could concentrate best with some music in the background, so I eventually figured I'd add the current song to my regular updates. It was a fun part for me to check out what I was listening to while I was writing the update.

For the next read-a-thon (the sooner, the better, if you ask me!), I think I'll go to bed earlier the night before. I'll try to prepare the updates ahead of time and I'll plan in some more computer breaks, so that I don't have the mess with a computer on strike again. Otherwise, I'd probably do everything the same way.
