Hour 12

Can't believe the Read-a-Thon is half over! Hope I can last a good while longer. After another cup of tea, I think I'm getting a second wind.
10 pages - The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo
50 pages - The Phantom Tollbooth by Norton Juster - used to love this book. It's a fun reread to lighten things up.

    I will be up all night so I will keep visiting you and keeping you awake, that is if you are going to be up all night.
    Are you going to be up all night?

  4. I'm not so good at clever cheers - just keep on reading, and we'll be here (to keep you motivated - yeah!)

    Looks like you're doing great - and we're past the halfway point now :-). The Hunger Games is a GREAT Readathon choice!

    Happy Readathon!
