    I’m still reading…I’m working on Number the Stars now. I’m wanted to read this book for so long : )

    I’m still holding on with a line from a song i can’t get out of my head. I don’t even know the name of the song.

    Still reading, but fading fast…what a great ride this has been! Definitely going to do this again.

  4. Rachelon 11 Apr 2010 at 1:01 am 4

    I … am… so…. tired. Yet here I am, reading, blogging, cheering.. I think I am addicted to the read-a-thon!

  5. Buffyon 11 Apr 2010 at 1:02 am 5

    still reading, but sooooo sleepy.

  6. Charlieon 11 Apr 2010 at 1:02 am 6

    I’m still reading, although it’s morning here so I’ve just started back after a few hours sleep. Half-way through my second book.

  7. sevedraon 11 Apr 2010 at 1:02 am 7

    I am reading my latest copy of Entertainment Weekly at this stage. I can’t concentrate for more than a few paragraphs at the time!

    I did this last year and honestly thought I had figured out how to pace myself better for this one, but I guess not.

    I’m still here! I started The Dark Divine last hour…I think it’s going to do the trick. *fingers crossed* But I may have to pitch a tent in the bathroom. The caffeine is really taking its toll…LOL!

  9. the little readeron 11 Apr 2010 at 1:03 am 9

    yeah, i’m still up. great job to all that are still going!

  10. Calissaon 11 Apr 2010 at 1:03 am 10

    Still up and reading here. Starting to get a bit tired, but it is still early in the evening here. I’ve been quite surprised that my reading rate has been so slow. Still, having fun.

  11. Michaelon 11 Apr 2010 at 1:03 am 11

    I am just barely holding on at this point, and keep dozing off. The falling book is what wakes me. I am actually enjoying my current read (I put down the last two), but may need to get up and move a bit to keep going.

  12. Jenny Non 11 Apr 2010 at 1:04 am 12

    It’s 2 AM when I am and I’m still up and reading

  13. Cheryl Francison 11 Apr 2010 at 1:06 am 13

    I am tired, but still up and reading!

  14. Lissaon 11 Apr 2010 at 1:06 am 14

    Still reading! Hope to keep going, but I am fading

  15. Lisaon 11 Apr 2010 at 1:06 am 15

    I’m also still up. I find myself having to take more breaks now. Might try walking around the room while reading (I used to walk to school while reading as a kid — surely I can still do it!)

  16. Juliaon 11 Apr 2010 at 1:07 am 16

    well, not “still” reading but “again”… i dozed off a few hours ago -.-

  17. Milkaon 11 Apr 2010 at 1:08 am 17

    Well, I slept a while, but I am reading again! :) My eyes are going to hurt so much after this!

  18. Bitsyon 11 Apr 2010 at 1:08 am 18

    I’m still reading. On my third cup of tea for the day but I think I will make it!

  19. Exiled By Accidenton 11 Apr 2010 at 1:10 am 19

    I’ve just finished Unthinkable, the graphic novel. Not sure how much more reading I can do because I’m going out for lunch in a couple of hours but I’m still holding on here.

  20. noumena12on 11 Apr 2010 at 1:10 am 20

    Starting my next book. This should get me through til 8am. Then I need to grab some sleep before I host a dinner party later today. :) Here is my latest post:

  21. Ozumon 11 Apr 2010 at 1:14 am 21

    from 1 am until 5am I took a long nap =) So now I’m up and will try to finish my second book … I know I’m such a slow reader…

  22. Debbieon 11 Apr 2010 at 1:14 am 22

    Ok, I thought I would be asleep by now, but I’m still reading. I’m currently reading A Wrinkle in Time — never read it before, and I’m enjoying it so far…

  23. Sandyon 11 Apr 2010 at 1:14 am 23

    I’m ready to claw my eyes out. I did finish the book I was reading, wrote my Sunday Salon (ha) and now am going back to sleep for the last stretch!

  24. EL Fayon 11 Apr 2010 at 1:17 am 24

    I had coffee at 3 and I’m still not tired! But I finished my book, which I did not anticipate doing, and now have nothing to read!

  25. Valerieon 11 Apr 2010 at 1:19 am 25

    Still awake, but barely. However, the yoga poses challenge helped me wake up a little bit! Trying now for a short story collection….one story at a time!

  26. Bekahon 11 Apr 2010 at 1:20 am 26

    I was just about done when I checked the hour 22 post. Jessie’s Girl was a great choice. I’m diving in for a bit more reading.

  27. jeharaon 11 Apr 2010 at 1:20 am 27

    I’m still here and surprisingly wide awake! Go read-a-thon!!!

  28. fionaon 11 Apr 2010 at 1:23 am 28

    still up and reading as t is only 6:25pm here in South Korea. I’m having a great tme reading “Waking Up In Eden”

  29. Kinna Readson 11 Apr 2010 at 1:26 am 29

    I’m still reading!

  30. Mariekeon 11 Apr 2010 at 1:27 am 30

    I’m up (after sleeping) and reading some Neil Gaiman, and about to put the kettle on for a second cup of tea. Well done, everyone!

  31. Kateon 11 Apr 2010 at 1:29 am 31

    Still reading…couch was too comfy to come and update but still going strong! Or maybe not so strong…::pushes to stay awake::

  32. katrinaon 11 Apr 2010 at 1:32 am 32

    I’m still reading, but then I had a four hour sleep, on my fourth book which will be finished before the end of the read-a-thon

  33. raychon 11 Apr 2010 at 1:35 am 33

    Still awake, loving the music choices. I just finished a book and am headed back to the stack to pick something for the last two hours.

  34. SavvyVerse&Witon 11 Apr 2010 at 1:36 am 34

    I apparently fell asleep listening to my audio book, but I’m back and readign Cross country again!

  35. Kavithaon 11 Apr 2010 at 1:37 am 35

    Am still here. I figured I might as well try and finish reading what I started.
    As an added note the yoga challenge surely helped :-)

  37. Welskion 11 Apr 2010 at 1:43 am 37

  38. Diar A.on 11 Apr 2010 at 1:45 am 38

    I just joined the two mini challenges and I enjoy them A LOT :)

  39. Ann-Kat (Today, I Read...)on 11 Apr 2010 at 1:49 am 39

    Yep. Still up. Just finished The Search for Delicious by Natalie Babbitt and hope to squeeze one more book in before the 24 hours are up. :D

  40. Callistaon 11 Apr 2010 at 1:49 am 40

    I’m up… just barely.

  41. Kihanaon 11 Apr 2010 at 1:54 am 41

    Wow. There are still quite a bunch of people up and about. I’m up – er.. semi? Haha! XD

    I’m alternating between reading, cheering and napping. This has been a wonderful ride so far~

    After a few more hours, it’ll be straight on to the next great journey. ;)

    Awwww, how perfect! My boyfriend’s name is Jesse, so this song ALWAYS makes me smile. Insta-Perks!

    Thanks and good luck to everyone powering through!

  43. Cathyon 11 Apr 2010 at 3:37 am 43

    I had to take a take a break and sleep for awhile because I’m working today, but I’m back for the end and still reading! :)
