Some Thoughts
I hit 1000 pages! Yay! That was my unspoken goal for the readathon, and I still have nine hours left. And I'm happy to say that my 1000 pages didn't include children's books or graphic novels. Not that there is anything wrong with either (in fact I'll be reading a graphic novel next) but I personally wanted to hit 1000 pages of text, instead of the pictures and white space that are part of children's books and comics. Now that I've hit the mark, well, all books are up for grabs!

Now I am rewarding myself with a bowl of butterscotch covered ice cream!

  2. Famous Reader’s Toast

    May you...
    Always have books on your shelves,
    Snack like there are no calories,
    Blog as if you were Dooce,
    Win copious challenges and drawings,
    And read like it was the read-a-thon.

  4. WANT. NEED. MUST HAVE. I have ice cream for later but I'm afraid it will give me readathon tummy (nasty rock in stomach feeling after being up for 18+ hours).

  5. 1000 pages of real text is no small thing! And yummy!
