Did you find it fun or was it more of a chore to complete? It was a lot of fun! And as I've had this week off from work, it was great timing too :)

Daffodil's RAT results
Total Hours: 24 hours over 5 days
Total Books: Bits and pieces of 6 books
Total Pages: 1292
I went into this with a plan. It was a great plan. It was not a plan I stuck with. LOL.
I intended to do my regular reading throughout the week and set aside 3 Saturdays for the RAT. RAT Saturdays were supposed to help me get through books gathering dust on my TBR and I wouldn't touch them during my regular week's reading. 1 surprise birthday Party + 1 birthday dinner cooked by me + 1 birthday get together at the winery = 3 Saturdays gone. Okay, I can handle that. I'll just switch to reading between 3-6 hours on all 5 Sundays. The first Sunday I started with Winterblaze. I didn't want to wait until the next Sunday to continue, so I picked it up here and there throughout the week. The second Sunday I finished WB and started another book, which I finished during regular reading. The third Sunday, I just scrapped my plan and continued/finished what I had started through the week. And that's how I read bits and pieces of 6 different books during my RAT sessions.
I did enjoy myself, especially since October ended up being a low book month for me. If I hadn't taken time on the weekends to read, I probably wouldn't have read anything much all month long. This was my first RAT and I would definitely participate again. Maybe I'll even stick to the plan.
ETA: Steph, that means you'll have to slide me down to group 4.
No worries Daffodil, I read bits of books as well :D

✓I enjoyed the reading, just did my normal thing. I find it amazing when I track my reading time how much I squeeze in between all the RL stuff.
✓This was my first Read-a-Thon and would like to participate again.
✓No books were selected ahead of time, I just went to my "On Deck" books which are the top of my TBR mountain. I finally got to a series I had been putting off for some time and continued to devour it after RAT.
✓I read in bed during the late hours and early morning "my time", outside during lunch breaks, and in my car commuting to work or while kids are at soccer practice. I've converted idle time to reading time... and always have my kindle within reach.
✓My new series discovery and author was Darynda Jones' Grim Reapers series and I really enjoyed it. Now I am waiting with the rest of the Charley Davidson fans since I'm all caught up thru Fifth Grave Past the Light in September.
✓I read books on my kindle and listened to the Charley series in audiobook on my iPod. I'm kind of selective in my audio purchases and try to grab an entire series in one format when I can. Very pleased with 1st thru 5th grave books, and can see myself re-listening again.
