Hour 17

Oct 13th 2012October 2012 & readathon

It’s Hour 17 and—wonder of wonders!—you and I are still awake!  Good job!

I had to share this very cool book water fountain with you. It is in Budapest, Hungary. Very, very cool.

How are you coming with your reading? Hang in there. We’ve got some good stuff this hour. It is time for the Challenging Book Challenge, hosted by Nova. Nova says, “I’d love for us to challenge our brains this readathon by sharing this:  If you were to pick a challenging book to read, which book would it be and why?”

And we will be giving away…not one…not two…not three…but four prizes to four lucky Readathon-ers! Good luck!

    COOOOL fountain!!! I love that!

    Wow. That’s random. That fountain is just out side my local library. Five minutes (by car) from where I’m spending my readathon.

    And whenever they recorded that gif, it was not pouring with rain. Rare.

    Nope. Even more random is that my previous comment is absolutely wrong. I had my fountains crossed in my brain.

    I’m going to slink away in embarrassment now.

    Still awake, still reading…although I have to admit I’m starting to dose off a bit :/

    What a lovely fountain! I’m still awake a starting to dose off a bit…maybe I will need a power nap soon.

    I am hanging in there but even after 4 20 oz coffees and 4 cans of diet coke throughout today I am getting very sleepy.

    If the book you’ve chosen,
    Makes you yawn,
    Don’t hesitate to put it down.
    Pick another,
    it’s no bother,
    A read-a-thon-er needn’t frown.

    Go, go, go! Keep it up! You’re doing great!

    I just made a fresh pot of coffee. I’m wide awake.

    That fountain is so cool! I’ve been to Budapest, but somehow I missed that!

  12. Bekaon 14 Oct 2012 at 12:25 am 12

    Coolest fountain ever!
    Ok now I am in for the final stretch!

    3 books to read!

  13. Lilacon 14 Oct 2012 at 12:28 am 13

    I’m awake now :D
    After dropping off just before one in the morning (hour 13) if’ve got no idea why I woke up at five!

    That book fountain rocks as hard as you do, my Canadian friend! I’m hanging in there- barely though, had to take a shower to wake myself up!

    Grab another book off that stack,
    Tell Mr. Sandman to step back!
    Go, Kellie!

  15. Azukion 14 Oct 2012 at 12:54 am 15

    Love that fountain! It’s so cool!

    I am headed to bed. My mini-challenge will stay open til I wake up. This might be a few hours so people can continue to enter the challenge til I close it and declare a few winners :)
