To stay up late!
Good luck, Whitney! I wish I were doing this, but I had too many other commitments this weekend.
You picked a great book for today. Are you enjoying it? Keep reading.
softdrink– Love the poem, I hope I'm able to stay up late too!
Book Mole–I suggest doing this next year without question, it's been a lot of fun.
Nise–Thanks, I love GWTW it's one of my favorites.
I know Gone with the Wind will be on my regular reading list next year. Is it anything like the movie because I really liked that. Good job on the mini-challenges! I decided I was just going to read without interruptions. zzzzzzzzz
Kim–The movie is pretty true to the book. They had to leave a few parts out because of length/time but still did a fantastic job of it. I thought I would just read and read without doing any mini-challenges, but I guess my will-power is not that strong.
I love Gone With the Wind! Have fun reading!
You picked a big one to read! Although it sounds like you've read it enough times that you can move along quickly!
I hope you are still enjoying the readathon, or that you are enjoying your sleep :-).
Congratulations on your first readathon!
Don't let those eyes droop
head out on the stoop
get some fresh air
before heading back to that chair
pick up your book
take another look
read, read, read
Kathleen–Thank you, I love it too!
Lisa–GWTW is pretty big, but I've read it too many times to count and got a lot accomplished.
imbookingit–I enjoyed my first readathon but at that point was enjoying my sleep 🙂
Serena–Nice Cheer!
