Current state of things: The end! Had a rather sleepy last couple hours, but managed to get 80 pages into my 225 page novel, the last book on my stack. I had a great read-a-thon!
Here are my answers to the closing survey:
1. Which hour was most daunting for you? I don't feel like I had a particularly bad hour this time. There were quite a few hours when I was drowsy but none where I was so drowsy that I hardly read any pages.
2. Tell us ALLLLL the books you read! See the list above! 8 books and part of a 9th!
3. Which books would you recommend to other Read-a-thoners? Thornhill was SO GOOD.
4. What’s a really rad thing we could do during the next Read-a-thon that would make you smile? Even though I didn't end up doing any challenges this time, I liked that they were all available all day. Keep doing that! You never know when the mood to do a challenge will strike.
5. How likely are you to participate in the Read-a-thon again? Would you
be interested in volunteering to help organize and prep? I participate every time!

Snacks: Continuing to sip away at my Monster.
Current state of things: Surprisingly alert! Finished the last bit of Thornhill and read a whole volume of Twin Spica in the last 2 hours! All that's left of my pile is this one short-ish middle grade novel, so we'll see how much of it I can read before 7:00.
Now, in case you need an energy boost for these last two hours, please enjoy one of my favourite pump-it-up songs, Freaks!

Current state of things: OMG Thornhill is AMAZING. Seriously, read this book. I'm glad I didn't let myself be put off by its length. It's a perfect late-hours-of-the-read-a-thon pick.
I've been so absorbed in my reading today that I haven't even included any of my customary YouTube videos in my updates! But I can't do a 3:00 am update post without 3AM by Matchbox Twenty!

Snacks: Celery sticks with peanut butter. Yummy. And I just started my energy drink.
Current state of things: Look at those page counts!! In the last two hours I read the last 130 pages of Saga and the first 126 pages of Thornhill. I didn't know what to expect from Thornhill, as compared to graphic novels. Some of the pages are full text and some are full pictures. As it turns out, it is VERY fast reading! Soooo satisfying. Loving the story so far too.

Snacks: An actual meal! Kraft Dinner, the Spicy Cheddar variety.
Current state of things: Great! I'm very much an evening person. I'm in my peak energy hours right now! And now I'm reading total 90s nostalgia material (actually, that's mostly what I've been reading all day...), so that's good fun. (Apparently this book actually came out in 1986, which surprised me, but whatever! The series was still big in the 90s so it totally counts.)
