Thirteen hours…
Seven hundred and fifty six pages…
About 5 hours of sleep…
and I can’t wait for October!
And I can’t help but think Dewey is smiling down on all of us, delighting in our literary adventures, maybe even joining in through a majestic library in the sky. For I still can’t picture heaven without a library in it. Love you Dewey and miss you so much!
The readathon comes to a close and with it another epic day of reading, reading, reading. I read 5 books and over 100 pages of The Name of the Wind. I am blissed out happy and, well, kinda ready for a nap!

Midnight!

3. Do you have any suggestions for how to improve the Read-a-thon next year?
No!

It all works so well, I hardly notice it!

N/A
10. How likely are you to participate in the Read-a-thon again? What role would you be likely to take next time?
100% likely, and, as much as I’d like to try cheerleading, I expect I’ll read again.
Had fun. Now. Breakfast. Then a nap. Maybe not in that order. *yawn*
You did so well!! Five books is really good. Such a pity it's over, isn't it? On the other hand, it was enough for now.
You had an awesome read-a-thon. Way to go!
Well done! Such a great event and guess what? I am still reading today!
Have a great day of recovery–
*smiles*
Sounds like you had a really fantastic day! And like you, I hope that Dewey is smiling down on us. I'm so glad that we continue to carry out this event in her name twice a year–I know she wouldn't want it any other way.
You did awesome! This was my first read-a-thon and now I can't wait for the October one!
Lots of books read – looks like you did a great job! I agree about the Bone books. I didn't read them during a Read-a-thon but they are quick, light, and have good stories.
