Hour 22

Oct 25th 2009EvaOctober 2009 & readathon

Only 3 hours left guys! That’s 180 minutes! If you need some extra-special encouragement, leave a comment and I’ll send you an e-mail. ;) For some general help staying awake, why don’t you “Shout” along with Otis Day and the Knights?

This hour, we don’t have any new mini-challenges. However, we have 5 winners from those who left comments on the readers of Hour 20:
Jehara
Lenore
Donna Shepard
Karin (Karin’s Book Nook)
Trish (Trish’s Book Nook)

And one more winner to announce: Memory won the mini-challenge at Libri Touches!

Congrats everyone: e-mail us about your prizes. :D

As if that weren’t enough, we have another surprise drawing!!! This time, it’s of readers who are still awake, so leave a comment on this post letting us know you’re still out there and we’ll draw two winners during Hour 24 (so you have two hours to comment on THIS post.)

Still happening:
Memory’s Mini-Challenge (open until the end of this hour.)
Gail’s Mini-Challenge (open until the end of this hour.)

    Still awake, though I did just drop off there for about 10 minutes. Was going to give up and go to bed, but I’m going to make some tea and push through the last hours.

    I think I can, I think I can, I think I can!

  12. Sandyon 25 Oct 2009 at 1:02 am 12

    I’m still awake and reading, (although I don’t really count, seeing as I started late and this is only technically my 18th hour.)

  13. Memoryon 25 Oct 2009 at 1:02 am 13

  29. Kimon 25 Oct 2009 at 1:08 am 29

    I am awake and reading. Not sure how much longer I will make it though! I just switched books to something lighter/easier, so hopefully that will help. Thanks for being such a great moderator!

  30. Monicaon 25 Oct 2009 at 1:09 am 30

    I’m awake!

    At least… I think I’m awake.

    I can’t actually feel my fingers anymore….

  31. jeharaon 25 Oct 2009 at 1:10 am 31

    Sara @ The Hiding Spot

  38. tanabataon 25 Oct 2009 at 1:13 am 38

  39. Trishon 25 Oct 2009 at 1:14 am 39

  41. Valerieon 25 Oct 2009 at 1:14 am 41

    I’m still here, but probably only for another 20-30 minutes. My reading has slowed down and I’m not sure I’m absorbing any of the words anymore!

  42. Trishaon 25 Oct 2009 at 1:14 am 42

    WooHoo! Still going! 1558 pages and counting.

  43. emilyon 25 Oct 2009 at 1:14 am 43

    Took a little nap, but we’re awake now. :)

  46. Melissaon 25 Oct 2009 at 1:19 am 46

    I’m awake, and still reading, but like some others I don’t know how much longer I can go.

  47. NTEon 25 Oct 2009 at 1:20 am 47

    I’m still here too – not as alert as I could possibly be, but still reading, nonetheless.

  48. Mervion 25 Oct 2009 at 1:20 am 48

    I’m now up but I did sleep some hours before.

  49. Meghanon 25 Oct 2009 at 1:21 am 49

    I don’t count because I went to sleep for a while but I just want to cheer on all of you still reading. I’m so impressed, well done!!

  50. Joy Reneeon 25 Oct 2009 at 1:22 am 50

    still up. still reading. have 30 pages to finish my book then I’ll cheer for at least an hour.

    all you guys still at it, readers and cheerleaders alike are awesome.

    read for joy!!!

    those of you feeling like you’re fading, try deep belly breathing until you see lights before your eyes. about five times. it makes you dizzy for a moment so be careful but it the energy boost can last a good thirty minutes.

  51. Jason Gignacon 25 Oct 2009 at 1:22 am 51

    Well, notably AWAKE might be a somewhat strong term for my current condition…

  52. Kate at Read This Book!on 25 Oct 2009 at 1:22 am 52

    I am up and my read-a-thon has ended. XD I started earlier.

    Everyone, keep going! 2 hours left. YOU CAN DO IT!

  53. Margon 25 Oct 2009 at 1:22 am 53

    I’m still around! Well done to everyone who has been up the whole 24 hours. I haven’t been! LOL!

  54. Kimmon 25 Oct 2009 at 1:23 am 54

    Still awake and reading! Less than 100 pages until I finish my third book. Yipee! That should round off my reading for the Read-a-Thon!!

  55. Book Psmithon 25 Oct 2009 at 1:23 am 55

    I think I am awake…must be if I press submit and it comes up:)

  56. Erotic Horizonon 25 Oct 2009 at 1:24 am 56

    Still here

    Started at 1pm UK and got caught in the time change so extra long night … but still here and 2/3 of my last book left…

    E.H>

  57. BrownGirlon 25 Oct 2009 at 1:24 am 57

    still reading…barely. still no nap either. almost over.

  58. Bart's Bookshelfon 25 Oct 2009 at 1:24 am 58

    After a few hours kip, I’m back up and racing (well racing might be a strong word – even with the sleep…) to the end.

  59. CupK8on 25 Oct 2009 at 1:25 am 59

    Yes! I’m glad there are still so many of us!

  60. Danaon 25 Oct 2009 at 1:25 am 60

  61. Milkaon 25 Oct 2009 at 1:28 am 61

    I’m still here, I’m almost finished with my challenge, I started two hours earlier than others…

  62. Jenaon 25 Oct 2009 at 1:29 am 62

    I’m still awake, but my husband (who has been very patient and mostly unintrusive today) is dragging me to bed now. (I’m not nice when I mess with my sleep schedule too much.)

  63. Shonaon 25 Oct 2009 at 1:29 am 63

    Wide awake and going strong..:)

  64. meeon 25 Oct 2009 at 1:37 am 64

    I’m still up, but that’s because it’s only 8:37pm here :)

  65. Lightheadedon 25 Oct 2009 at 1:38 am 65

    Hello Eva! I’m awake and reading graphic novels this time. Will post about them in a couple of hours, hopefully. Enjoy the last two hours!

  66. Schatzion 25 Oct 2009 at 1:39 am 66

    I’m still here, making up for lost time!

  67. Shannaon 25 Oct 2009 at 1:40 am 67

    I’m awake and reading, and sobbing. My current book is a tearjerker.

  68. Gnoeon 25 Oct 2009 at 1:46 am 68

    I’m awake and reading… but I have slept! So that doesn’t count, right? I’m profoundly in awe of the people who haven’t slept at all yet!

  69. stacyon 25 Oct 2009 at 1:46 am 69

    Still here. Barely ;)

  70. Heather (BookObsessedGrl)on 25 Oct 2009 at 1:53 am 70

  74. Samanthaon 25 Oct 2009 at 2:00 am 74

    Well I am still awake, but the words are starting to get harder to keep straight…

  75. Shonaon 25 Oct 2009 at 2:03 am 75

    I think I need strong coffee now

  76. Sherrion 25 Oct 2009 at 2:07 am 76

    Still here, but not getting much read.

  77. Arielleon 25 Oct 2009 at 2:10 am 77

  78. Shanraon 25 Oct 2009 at 2:17 am 78

    I’m still here! (But I hardly feel like it counts with it being 11 am over here now…)

  79. debnanceon 25 Oct 2009 at 2:19 am 79

    I’m awake after a little break (a five hour nap) and I’m working on Margaret Atwood’s latest, The Year of the Flood.

  80. Karenon 25 Oct 2009 at 2:21 am 80

    I crashed for a bit but I am back and still reading.

  81. Jenniferon 25 Oct 2009 at 2:35 am 81

    I’m loving these videos to watch…wonderful way to take a break from books, but not enough time to get sucked into TV shows.

    Okay time to power through until the end!!!

  82. Ashley Amandaon 25 Oct 2009 at 2:37 am 82

    Still awake and reading
