How I am feeling at this point in the Event: I don’t know ho much longer I will be staying up. I might try to finish my current read – maybe make it to hour 20. We’ll see. I’ll post once more with a final update before I pack it in. I’m tired! I took [...]

How I am feeling at this point in the Event: I finished another book – so I am happy about that. But, the calculator I’m using is giving me weird numbers now (I think the cat walked across it and changed the way it is calculating), so now I am having to add things manually [...]

How I am feeling at this point in the Event: Feeling great – have my second wind (the caffeine in the tea helped!) and I’m cruising right along on auto-pilot. What I am currently reading: For Sale by Owner by Kelcey Parker – collection of short stories. Very close to finishing this collection (on page [...]

How I am feeling at this point in the Event: Question: What’s the best way to get your adrenaline going and your heart rate elevated? Answer: Have a herd of deer charge straight at you! I decided to take a half hour break in hour 11 and go for a walk in the neighborhood. All [...]

How I am feeling at this point in the Event: Enthralled with the book I’m reading. Not at all tired. What I am currently reading: The Raising by Laura Kasischke – I have about 70 pages to go in the book and it has really picked up in terms of pace. VERY good, enthralling read. [...]

I love the start of the Read-A-Thon…fatigue has yet to set in, the books look inviting, there is hope to make a huge dent in the stacks. I hope to be posting updates at least every two hours for the duration of the event. I’ll let you know how I’m feeling, what I’m reading, what [...]
