    I’m still here! Supposed to be turning in shortly (it’s midnight where I am and I have lots of driving to do tomorrow) but I don’t want to!

    i’m not a big Black Eyed Peas fan, but i have to admit that song gets me going every time!

    thanks for posting this! it’s the perfect pick-me-up.

    I am still here and just had some peanut butter panic ice cream to perk me up. Well– back to reading it is!

    Still here but fading….

    I’m still here, but I’ll be turning in shortly. Again, lots of stuff to do in the morning. I will be waking up early and joining in the last few hours, though :)

    The tiredness I had before is now mysteriously vanished, but my eyes are getting a bit dry. Where are those darned eye drops?

    Still looking forward to several books and am trying to save the graphic novels for when all of those words on a page tend to look like blurry worms. We’ll see!

    Yahoo for second winds! Thanks for the awesome booty-shakin’ music!

    im still awake, a really great book helps may sleep in a few hours

  10. Melwykon 09 Oct 2010 at 8:21 pm 10

    Starting to feel a little dry eyed as well, but have to get up and move! Want to finish another book before I call it quits. Thanks for the inspiration to get the blood flowing.

  11. Carinaon 09 Oct 2010 at 8:24 pm 11

    Definitely still going! :-)

  12. Sherrion 09 Oct 2010 at 8:25 pm 12

    Also still here! My neighbors are having a LOUD party so no sleep for me.

  13. Lynnon 09 Oct 2010 at 8:26 pm 13

    I’m still awake! Starting to feel a bit “meh” towards my reading selections so I’ve switched things up a bit and gone back to an old favorite — Patricia McKillip’s ‘A Changeling Sea’ since it’s short, sweet, and rather funny in places. Hopefully, will fire me back up and give me the enthusiasm necessary to keep going :)

    Still here, still reading. Thanks for the song, that worked excellently for a bit of much-needed stretching. :)

  15. Sheila (Bookjourney)on 09 Oct 2010 at 8:29 pm 15

    I am fading fast… fell asleep on the couch with The Bell Jar in hand. I dont even know if that is safe! LOL

  16. Athson 09 Oct 2010 at 8:31 pm 16

    I’m here too, but I think I’m going to crash soon. :(

  17. Mikaon 09 Oct 2010 at 8:31 pm 17

    I dance like an epileptic chicken.
    And I HATE the Black Eyed Peas for taking up Fergie’s time when she could be doing rock (have you heard Beautiful Dangerous with Slash or that Paradise City cover?) but I must admit they get everyone moving ;)

    Good luck fellow read-a-thoners!
    I’m still going for the 24 hours!

  18. joemmamaon 09 Oct 2010 at 8:32 pm 18

    Still here..only on book 3 but I overslept this am. Eyes are burning, may have to take a coffee break soon.

  19. Mrs. DeRapson 09 Oct 2010 at 8:34 pm 19

    Okay, if Fergie and will.i.am can do it, so can I. Off to read some more!

  20. Courtneyon 09 Oct 2010 at 8:36 pm 20

    Still reading although getting a little sleepy. Just finished book 4 though so that is a little kick!

  21. Faye- Ramblings of a teenage Bookwormon 09 Oct 2010 at 8:39 pm 21

    love BEP! i want to listen to that song now and read :D

    Gook Luck readers!!

  22. Lynneon 09 Oct 2010 at 8:40 pm 22

    Red Bull is doing the trick :) My current book is A Prayer for the Dying. How did this get in my pile?

  23. Poseyon 09 Oct 2010 at 8:41 pm 23

    I am still here…. barely. Oy.

  24. Scribacchinaon 09 Oct 2010 at 8:42 pm 24

    We’re still here, too, although I’m not sure I will stay awake much longer. Right now I don’t seem to be able to follow what I read and end up re-reading the same page all over again and again… The bed is soooo inviting… I’ll try to resist… You keep going, eh?!!

  25. Stephon 09 Oct 2010 at 8:52 pm 25

    Thanks for the song! Woke me up good! :) And I have a fast-paced book and Visine for soft contacts…. so that helps. :)

  26. itsJUSTme-wendyon 09 Oct 2010 at 9:03 pm 26

    Oh! Thank you soooo much for that song! Love it, and it was just what I needed to wake up! I watched the whole thing!

  27. Shaunesayon 09 Oct 2010 at 9:49 pm 27

    This is my favorite song on Wii Fit! In fact it made me decide I liked this group! lol!

  28. Ruby Eon 09 Oct 2010 at 10:02 pm 28

    Yay! I won something!

    I’m trying to catch up from all the sleep and chores I did!! Hopefully I’ll make very very good progress in the next few hours! =)
