Dewey’s read-a-thon October 2012: Nog 3, 3 minuten voordat ik stop!

Posted byCy-V Sunday 13 October, 2013Monday 31 March, 2014 1 Comment on Dewey’s read-a-thon October 2012: Nog 3, 3 minuten voordat ik stop!
  • Which hour was most daunting for you?
  • Around 10-12pm, surprisingly! But I had been up since 4.30PM Friday!

  • Could you list a few high-interest books that you think could keep a Reader engaged for next year?
  • Hm..I’ll get back to that when my cognitive functioning is restored!

  • Do you have any suggestions for how to improve the Read-a-thon next year?
  • Assign team members for website maintenance. Dead links, link-ups, comments on the website. A standard/main website cheerleaders page (with log-in for ‘team communication’?) Lighten the current hosts’s burden!
    Another thing is the challenge schedule. The last-minute-system makes it hard to schedule and plan ahead. Knowing all of the challenges might ruin the surprise, but my girlfriend had a great idea! Blocks! Share them in blocks and announce the challenges for the next three hours. Having all the challenge-posts ready a few days ahead of time will also save a lot of stress for those organizing 😉 And I have few suggestions for the website too! But I think I can better mail those ^_^

  • What do you think worked really well in this year’s Read-a-thon?
  • As per usual: The community! I’ve seen a lot of comments and motivation on twitter and blogs, from cheerleaders, readers and even non-participants! I also think the team-captains were a great idea.

  • How many books did you read?
  • None! Full time cheering! *o/* I will have an afterparty 😛 (It’s a thing! 😆 )

  • If you were a Cheerleader, do you have any advice for next year’s Cheerleaders?
  • Make a (bookmark) list of blogs to visit, and check off where you have been by either checking (workflowy is awesome!) or moving the bookmark to a ‘visited’ folder. Keeping track! 😀 And plan on when you want to cheer, make a schedule if you want to read too. And stick to it! It’s so much fun, but you might end up not reading if you don’t. (^_^;) And SLEEP before the read-a-thon!

  • How likely are you to participate in the Read-a-thon again? What role would you be likely to take next time?
  • 100% positive!

  • Most definitely! I might even like to host/captain. I’m on twitter constantly anyway!

That’s it folks, it has been a pleasure. Love you all! Until April! (or other events!) o/

I’ll be hosting a challenge next month! Turns out a lot of you biblioklepts have books on your shelf that aren’t yours! It’ll be ‘Not your book November!’ #notyourbook I’ll announce it after my week of hibernation-to-catch-up-sleep!

    It sure was fun seeing you on Twitter and the blogs. Great idea to keep track of where you commented. I wish, this morning, that I could go back to see if some of my cheerleading comments got responses but it sounds like too much work to go find myself on all of those blogs.

    A row of 14 books neatly lined up on a white table in front of a grey felt tote bag which reads I'll Bieb Bag - a dutch pun as bieb is short for the dutch word for library. From the handle hangs a blue aviation tag from the European Space Agency, and an earcase for loop earplugs.

    Picture of a pleasant, calm spring-green background with light bubbles, with an open book, pages fanned out, as seen from the side. White sparkles come out of the book and go up to brush lettering saying April 30, 2022 above the url 24hourreadathon.com, with the logo of a thick spined book, with the front cover made of the bold font letters saying Dewey's 24 Hour Readathon
