Hour 20 – Book Adaptations
Oct 14th 2012andiOctober 2012 & readathon
Does anyone else watch The Lizzie Bennett Diaries??? If not, you need to get on that ship. Seriously, they are so good. Anyway, this is Kate from Kate’s Book Nook and I will be your cohost for the rest of the readathon! Are you excited??? I know I am! (PS: Unless you are really experiencing a rush of energy, I do not recommend picking up Jane Austen right now. I love Jane. She is great, but if you have been reading for 19 hours… perhaps reading the version with zombies?)
A big shout out to our cheerleaders!!! You guys have been fantastic! Next time we should have cheerleaders for our cheerleaders! But in all seriousness, thanks so much for cheering all of us readers on. You give us the strength to push past the weariness and keep reading on! Please goodness knows how much a “new comment” notice brightens up a persons day.
Random Fact of the Hour:
Isaac Asimov is the only author to have a book published in every major Dewey Decimal category. (In honor of Dewey)
Mini-Challenges:
New:
Still Ongoing
Winner’s Announced:
Lisa @ Lit and Life (Our Cheerleader Winner)
Now go pick up a book and remember to have fun. You can sleep when you’re dead, so have fun while you can!!!
