    The Fault in Our Stars was so very good. I'm not sure I could handle reading it during a Readathon though, I'd howl like a baby at the sadder parts, especially as the hour got later. (I get emotional when I'm sleep deprived.)

    I'm so glad you joined us for the Read-a-Thon, Sherry Ann! It was great having you. Enjoyed your enthusiasm. And great job if you just napped during that time period! I flaked out after my co-hosting shift, around 3:30am. Whew!

    We'll post the next Read-a-Thon date today or tomorrow. :)
