Reverse Readathon - Day 2

 There are just over four and a half hours left in the reverse readathon. So far I've read three books, started a fourth and listened to about 3.5 hours of an audiobook while I "rested my eyes". Although I'm quite certain I heard at least 3/4 of it...

I've also done three sprints and set up a reading challenge on Goodreads, though I'll catch up on the books I've already read in 2020 when I have a bit more brain power.

I've got two official Bingos and have five spaces to fill before the end to get a full blank out. Also did the Word Search (and found an extra word that I think was missed from the list).

Back to reading now!

Closing Survey:

1) How would you assess your reading overall. I finished four books and made inroads into another three, as well as listened to an audiobook when my eyes got too tired to read. My comprehension wasn't at the same level all the time, and towards the end I was rushing to finish bingo squares rather than really appreciating the reading.

2) Did you have a strategy, and if so, did you stick to it? My main strategy was to fill all the squares and to read as much as possible over the 24 hours. I did stick to that, but I think if I'd picked a couple of shorter books, I would have completed more books rather than having three unfinished books that I read to cover squares.

3) What was your favorite snack? Picking away at a rotisserie chicken. I was really looking forward to chips and dip, but I bought the wrong type of chips and an unsatisfying dip. Not that it stopped me from eating them...

4) Wanna volunteer for our next event? It would depend on my work situation in October. At the moment, I likely wouldn't be able to commit to anything else, but who knows where things will be in two months.

Final bingo:

I covered every square, but I had to leave books unfinished to do so. I don't feel badly about Winter, as I read one full essay, but I wish I'd had another 45 minutes or so to finish off The Catcher in the Rye. And even though I was looking forward to it the most, I'm glad I left The Mirror & the Light until the end, as it would likely have eaten up most of the readathon if I'd started with it. Looking forward to October!
