I had a fantastic time and can’t wait to do it again next year! Thanks to all the organizers, cheerleaders, and minichallenge hosts for making this readathon such an amazing event. You guys rock!
So glad your first experience was so wonderful!!
Thanks! It was. I can’t wait for April!
Wow you did an AWESOME job!
Thanks! And thanks for all your support throughout the event 🙂
Wait … you’re going to a wedding now?! You are SO BRAVE! No way could I have done read-a-thon with a big event coming the next day – way to go!!!
Haha yep. Originally we were going to leave on Saturday, spend the night, go to the wedding, and come back. I was so thrilled that I could actually participate in (most of) the Readathon that I didn’t care about how dead I’d be the next day! I ended up being able to sleep in the car while my husband drove…he’s so good to me 🙂
Isn’t the readathon just great!?!?! And thank you for the Phantom Tollbooth suggestion again; I’m so glad I was able to re-read that yesterday.
I’m glad you enjoyed it! I loved it and can’t believe I waited so long to read it!
And you rock, too!! I hope you stay coherent through the wedding. 😀
I did!…enough. My poor husband had to do all 10 hours of driving while I slept, but he was very sweet about it!
Hope you are ok at the wedding. Great job!
Thanks! It all worked out fine 🙂
The play was a great success, but the audience was a disaster.

Congratulations on your success in this year’s Readathon!
Hehe…thank you!
You did great! congrats on your readathon accomplishments!
Thanks, Marie. I had a great time 🙂
Very impressive numbers! Congratulations!
Thank you! It was fun to get through three books in a day instead of a book in three (or more!) days.
Wow you did an amazing job!
Thanks 🙂
Seems like a lot of people were reading The Phantom Tollbooth during this readathon! Interesting trend.
I ALSO went to a wedding on Sunday and let me tell you, I was zoning out until about 3PM. I’m still recovering from the busy weekend.
Phantom Tollbooth definitely made a great Readathon book: quick, engaging, satisfying.
I hope your Readathon/wedding recovering is going well!
Well done, that’s quite the achievement! Hope you were able to stay awake for the wedding!
Thanks! I was! Just not in the car on the way there or back, or once we got home, or for half of Monday…
I’m sorry I’m a tad late, but congratulations on a fantastic readathon. 21.5 hours is really great and it sounds like you got a lot read/listened to!
Thanks! I had a fantastic time and can’t wait until April 🙂
