Congratulations to the Prose Pros and everyone! I had a lovely time with my team. These team readathons always seem to motivate me to read more than I usually would. I also read a lot more that wasn't on my tbr/I hadn't heard of before. The prompts in some ways were quite restrictive as they are very specific and only set books qualify, but this made me explore books I wouldn't have tried otherwise. Thanks Bailey for organising, and to my team lead TerryJane for keeping us all on track!
In terms of feedback, I think I liked the change of not tracking daily reading. Whilst it was fun to see in the last readathon I did, and showed you were making progress, trying to make a note of what percentage I got to when I stopped reading the night before, working out pages etc. was a bit of a faff. This kept it nice and simple.
Congratulations to Prose Pros and everyone who took part!!! It was such a fun challenge. I wonder how many pages all teams read in total. 🤔Also, I know it's not nice (and a vice) to boast... but I read 8 books, 9 if you count the arc I had to read at the time (added just to the pages). Not that I want to win anything, just to boast, lol. 😂 I was really surprised and proud of myself, because it was my first readathon ever and I thought I will only be able to read 2 books. And I had such a great time, thank you everyone, especially my team and Meg for leading. I will for sure be joining the next readathon!
