Recapping Dewey’s October 2022
Another readathon has come and gone…
First off, my hotel experience was infinitely better this time around. Not only did I have an amazing view of the (stormy) ocean, but my room was quiet, clean and comfortable as well. Check-in was smooth and friendly, they let me check in early, I got the room category I booked, and everything was as it should be.
Not having to deal with all of that was definitely a blessing, and allowed me to really focus on the books, you know, aside from getting distracted by the ocean right outside my window. I was also really, really relaxed, which meant I wanted to sleep more, so I only read about 15 hours, rather than the full 24. I ended my readathon at Hour 18 and went to sleep. I thought about getting up around Hour 22 and again at the end, but decided to just keep sleeping instead. I rarely get enough sleep any more.
I did successfully complete 2 books and made significant progress on a 3rd, so feel that I did what I set out to do.
Since I slept through the end of the readathon, I did not post an update with my closing survey, so here you go…
- How would you assess your reading overall? Great! I finished 2, started 3, and made progress in another
- Did you have a strategy, and if so, did you stick to it? Not really, though I did rotate between my 3 formats throughout
- What was your favorite snack? I didn’t really have a favorite, I enjoyed them all.
So that concludes another readathon weekend… see you again for the next one in April!
It’s okay to sleep! As long as you’ve enjoyed your hours reading, everything is allowed right? Glad you had a better experience this time and I hope the rest of your stay was just as lovely.
