Read-A-Thon Mid-Event Survey

So the mini-challenge for the moment is a Mid-Event Survey from Dewey:

1. What are you reading right now?
I am actually between books and haven't picked out my next one yet.

2. How many books have you read so far?
Just one, Odd Thomas by Dean Koontz, which I loved.

3. What book are you most looking forward to for the second half of the Read-a-thon?
Probably my Dorothy L. Sayers mystery, since I loved Whose Body? so much.

4. Did you have to make any special arrangements to free up your whole day?
Well, I made a deal with my mother, but since I hadn't reminded her of it in the last week or so, she had forgotten.

5. Have you had many interruptions? How did you deal with those?
I had some major interruptions, also known as moving my younger sister's things to the house. As for dealing with them, I growled a bit and complained more than I should have and took every spare moment for reading. Finally, I rejoiced in the fact that we were done for the day and I could, again, devote myself to my beloved books.

6. What surprises you most about the Read-a-thon, so far?
How hard it is to spend the day reading.
And how many people can spend the day reading with friends or family. My family usually tries to discourage my reading so I find that to be truly awesome. If you have that, appreciate it!

7. Do you have any suggestions for how to improve the Read-a-thon next year?
Nope! It seems awesome to me!

8. What would you do differently, as a Reader or a Cheerleader, if you were to do this again next year?
Have my own place so that no one could bother me.

9. Are you getting tired yet?
It wasn't that long ago that I was a college student doing all-nighters and I still stay up late on a normal basis. So right now, I am fine. In about five hours, I may be singing a different tune.

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?
Water is also a good way to stay up - something about staying well hydrated... It worked in school...

Meanwhile, I hope everyone is having a completely awesome time!
