I did stay awake longer than I ever have before (about 22 hours), but also have my lowest page total because I had to be gone so much during the day. I didn't even do any mini-challenges this time, which is a first. Hopefully, next time I can devote the whole 24 hours- or at least all the daytime hours - to this fantastic event.
A shout-out to my faithful RAT pals Laura@Please Pardon the Interruption and Wendy@Wall-to-wall Books, and THANK YOU to the fabulous hosts/co-hosts and cheerleaders. You guys are AWESOME!

Hour 22 and 23 were brutal for me as well! And good job with your read! I also think reading AND cheering were so much fun!

I loved the new cheerleader spreadsheet, too!
ReplyDeleteLooks like you had a great Read-a-thon, even if you didn't get to devote quite as many hours as you would like.
Holy cow, Sherry! You did and AMAZING job!!! Especially considering how much real-life stuff you had going on too, kudos to you! Can't wait to see you again in October - I'm assuming that you're planning on RAT-ing again?
