So, I only made it to hour 20. At 2:15 AM, I just couldn't keep my eyes open and I had a headache. I thought I'd just take a 30 minute nap, which turned into 45 and resulted in my just going to bed. My goal was to get up at 6 and at least get another hour in, but I didn't, so here I am. All in all, I am pleased with my progress. I read a total of 1166 pages over 15 hours and 15 minutes. That's the longest I've been able to stay up during a Read-A-Thon so far, so I'm getting better. I had hoped to make it all the way, but not this time. There's always October!

Be proud of all those books you read! AWESOME readathon! Well done! Congrats.
CHEERS!
Wonderful job on the Read-a-Thon! Way to go! I'll be looking forward to reading with you on October. Keep on rocking and reading, read-a-thoner! It's been lots of fun! :D
WOW! You did real good!

Congrats! Great work! I crashed about 7am and just woke up a bit ago. Couldn't even make it one more hour, haha!
Hi Shelly, you did awesome. Congrats. I never got to white cat.
My computer problems started early yesterday afternoon. I did a whole clean up while I was at an author event and when I came back it was done. Then when I logged back on I was still having problems apparently it was with the ISP so I guess that might have been a good thing for me as I am sure I would have been online more.
You did a spectacular job! I also conked out in the 20th hour, however I didn't get started until the 6th. This was my first read-a-thon though, so I will have to hope I get better with time.
Congrats on your accomplishments!

Great job!
I had Hailey Twitch is Not a Snitch on my read pile but didn't get to it. Of course I'm still technically doing a readathon today as I'm finishing up Clean Away Your Clutter Readathon so I might get to it.
20 hours is great! Fantastic job!
That's great that you're getting better at staying awake--I seem to be getting worse. It's still fun though! You got a lot of reading done. That's awesome!
Wow, you did great! Congrats!
