Alright, I’ll admit it, I couldn’t stay up for the full 24 hours, going to bed at midnight. My eyes were just getting sooo heavy and before I knew it, I was gone like the wind.

Would I do it again?
Yes, I had so much fun, although while I have been known to read for long stretches of time this one really tested me. I think the only thing I would do differently, would be to have one on-going post. I think it would make my reading a little more organized and easier to keep track of.
Good job! I couldn't join in the fun this time, but maybe next time.
Whitney, have you ever read Forever Amber? That was a book that I read long ago after Gone With the Wind, and I loved it as much as I loved GWTW!
I hadn't even heard of Forever Amber, off to Amazon now…
You did really well, I admit though I read for a couple of hours at a time sometimes but sitting there and really reading for 4 hours with only a few breaks really tested me. I think tonight I'm doing anything but reading!
ODed on reading? I could see that, I was getting close to that point by the end.
Good for you! I haven't exactly done a read-a-thon like this but I have stayed up an entire day in my sweats just gorging on some book. Usually a Nora Roberts book…
Thanks, every couple weekends I seem to need a shovel to remove the glue from my butt from the chair. It's such an addicting habit 🙂
Aaaah, Gone With the Wind, one of my favourites! I read Wuthering Heights this year too – I will be looking forward to reading your review of it. I had mixed feelings
I love your blog by the way. I wanted to email you about something, but I can't find your email address? Can you pls email me pageturnersbooks@gmail.com. Thanks!
Glad you had a great time during the Read-A-Thon! I could not stay up the entire 24 hrs. either.
