"It was such a fun, team building event. People got to talk about books together, enjoy activities together, and have fun together!"
"They (the school community) should know that the hardest part was putting a book down."
"It was a super fun experience that made me excited to come to school."
"16 hours sounded so long but with the party breaks I had more energy than I did in a regular school day and truly enjoyed the books I read."
"The Read-a-thon was a breakthrough. Not just for reading as a community, but discussing representation within the books; inciting a feeling of oneness."
"The readathon is a great way to meet new people and talk about things you are passionate about."
