Dewey's read-a-thon: Hour 24

Hey guys!!! :)

How you ended the read-a-thon? for me the time passed very quickly and I felt I didn't have enough time to do all the things I wanted to do. But anyway, it was fun and I could end several books :)

 

End of Event Meme:

  1. Which hour was most daunting for you? 1 a.m. in the morning (Spain time) My eyes closed and I felt very tired :(
  2. Could you list a few high-interest books that you think could keep a Reader engaged for next year? All of my friends are superheroes by Andrew Kaufman was really interesting.
  3. Do you have any suggestions for how to improve the Read-a-thon next year? No, I like the way it is.
  4. What do you think worked really well in this year’s Read-a-thon? Cheerleaders. I think this time there were more cheerleaders and I received more support than previous years.
  5. How many books did you read? 3
  6. What were the names of the books you read? Reading and writing by V.S Naipaul, James joyce a portrait of a Dubliner by Alfonso Zapico and All my friends are superheroes by Andrew Kaufman.
  7. Which book did you enjoy most? All my friends are superheroes by Andrew Kaufman.
  8. Which did you enjoy least? All of them were great :)
  9. If you were a Cheerleader, do you have any advice for next year’s Cheerleaders? Puff, in my case, I was sooooooooo excited to cheer that I was checking blogs all the time. I think it would be wiser to have spent that time reading and then, when I was tired of reading, check out blogs and not the other way roung.
  10. How likely are you to participate in the Read-a-thon again? What role would you be likely to take next time? Reader and cheerleader :)
That was it. I hope you guys have had a great time and you've read wonderful books :)

Dewey's read-a-thon: Hour 23

Hey guys!!! :)

Are you still there??? Here in Spain is 12:27 p.m so it's the perfect time to read. This morning I decided to go to bed and sleep 8 hours. I woke up at 10 o'clock ready to read more books.

I've managed to finish this one

788572

I really enjoyed it, but the ending of the book although I liked it it let me dissatisfied and I ended up giving it 3 starts.

I hope, you guys, having a good day and you're enjoying with your books :)

Dewey's read-a-thon: Hour 12

hey guys!!!

How are you feeling right now??? I'm tired because here in Spain is 1:37 a.m, but I'm going to stay a little bit :)





Mid-Event Survey

1. What are you reading right now? All my friends are superheroes by Andrew Kaufman. I'm really really enjoying it so far.
2. How many books have you read so far? 2: Reading and Writing by V.S. Naipaul and James Joyce the portrait of a Dubliner by Alfonso Zapico. I really liked both of them.
3. What book are you most looking forward to for the second half of the Read-a-thon? Joyce's route by Alfonso Zapico, the second part of James Joyce the portrait of a Dubliner. Really curious about it.
4. Did you have to make any special arrangements to free up your whole day? No, really
5. Have you had many interruptions? How did you deal with those? No, I'm used to dedicate a day just for reading, so it wasn't difficult for me to stop or carry on reading.
6. What surprises you most about the Read-a-thon, so far? I've read two books and the one which I expected to take me hours I read quite quickly and the one which I expected to read quickly because it was a graphic novel took me a lot of time to finish it.
7. Do you have any suggestions for how to improve the Read-a-thon next year? No, I like the way it is
8. What would you do differently, as a Reader or a Cheerleader, if you were to do this again next year? As a reader not to be so excited because that didn't let me focus at the beginning and as a cheerleader to wait to people post stuff. It was the first hour and I was already checking blogs.
9. Are you getting tired yet? Yes, I am, but I'm going to wait a little bit more before going to bed
10. Do you have any tips for other Readers or Cheerleaders, something you think is working well for you that others may not have discovered? Mmm I don't know :(

Deweys' read-a-thon: Hour 9

Hey guys!!! :)

How is it going??? For me this read-a-thon is being a bit strange. I picked up Reading and writing by Naipaul which I thought it'd take me hours to finish it and I read it quite quickly. Then, I picked up James Joyce, portrait of a Dubliner by Alfonso Zapico because it was a graphic novel so I thought I would read it quickly, it took me hours, but in the end I finished it and I liked it. So, I'm happy now :D

Dewey's read-a-thon: Hour 3

Hi everyone!!! :)

 

how the things are going so far??? In my case I've already read one book :) I didn't expect that. I picked up Reading and writing by V.S. Naipaul to see what it was about and I realised that I had read 25 % if it. I really liked it although there were parts they weren't related to read and write that I didn't enjoy, but, overall I really liked it :)
Reading and Writing: A Personal Account

Dewey's read-a-thon: Hour 0

Hey guys!!! :)

How is it going? :) I hope you all OK and ready for  Dewey's read-a-thon. Yuppie!!! :D

This year I've decided to read and also to be a cheerleader. So, if you're participating, maybe, we'll meet. I can't wait to see what, you guys, are reading and tell you that you're doing great (I'm sure you are :))



1) What fine part of the world are you reading from today? I'm reading from Spain and since it's a cloudy day it's perfect to stay at home and reading :)

2) Which book in your stack are you most looking forward to? La ruta Joyce (Joyce's route) by Alfonso Zapico. In the book the author goes to the places Joyce lived and collect information about him. It sounds really interesting and it's a graphic novel, so I hope to read it quite quickly :)

3) Which snack are you most looking forward to? This year I've decided to eat as usual. Maybe I eat chocolate, but since I put on weight, I've trying to eat healthier. So, yes, nothing in particular.

4) Tell us a little something about yourself! I'm Spanish, I'm an English teacher and now I'm trying to become a writer.

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?

Apart from the food, this year I'll be a cheerleader. I can't wait to read what others I'm reading and cheer them :D


Are you participating in the read-a-thon? let me know in the comments and I'll visit you.

I hope you have a great time.

Happy reading!!! :D

Book Lover Survey Tag

Hey guys!!! :)

Today I want to share with you another video. I promised to myself not to post so many videos, but I can't help it. Recording videos help me speak better in English, but today I don't know why, it was difficult for me to talk in English. I did my best and I hope you like the video. Thanks for watching it :)
