Read-a-Thon Hours 19 and 20: 1:00 - 3:00
What are you reading right now? Go Ask Alice by Anonymous
How's that going? This one is really sucking me in. It's the diary of a teenage girl on drugs, and it's pretty disturbing and sad and scary.
Books finished so far: The Witches by Roald Dahl (4 stars); The Change (Animorphs #13) by K.A. Applegate (5 stars); Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins (3 stars); Ghosts Beneath Our Feet by Betty Ren Wright (4 stars)
Pages read these hours: 89
Total pages read so far: 947
Food consumed this hour: Another cherry strudel. Man, those things are good.
Feeling sleepy now, but not bad. Just sort of looking forward to curling up in bed. (University is still recent enough for me to remember the other kind of tired, the crying kind, so this doesn't seem at all bad in comparison!)

Read-a-Thon Hours 17 and 18: 23:00 - 1:00
What are you reading right now? Ghosts Beneath Our Feet by Betty Ren Wright
How's that going? Good! Betty Ren Wright was one of my favourite authors as a kid, and her stories still hold a special place in my heart. :)

Total pages read so far: 858
Food consumed this hour: Strawberries, and an energy drink.
The sleep-deprived tummy ache hit me about an hour ago. So I figured it was a good time for the energy drink, and that seems to have helped. I do worry I've had it too early and the last couple of hours will be tough, but we'll see! At any rate I feel pretty good right now.

Read-a-Thon Hours 15 and 16: 21:00 - 23:00
What are you reading right now? I just finished Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins, and I'm about to start Ghosts Beneath Our Feet by Betty Ren Wright.
How's that going? Mockingjay definitely picked up near the end, but I still feel rather unsatisfied by it.

I'm feeling more alert again now! My energy level has been so erratic today! I'm glad to be moving on to a light, short, children's book now.
