Miscellaneous comments:
*Well, this is the way to pick books...short, big fonts, graphic novels...makes the pages fly by. And every single one has been a treat.
*Just heard from Rich. He took his mom and the boys to the beach in NJ today. They apparently had a ball. And then they got to stop in and spend several hours with our best friends...we haven't seen them in over 6 years. Gotta admit, I'm more than a wee bit envious! But I'm so happy they are all having so much fun!!!
*Man, I can't believe it's not even 10:00...I'm getting rather droopy here...

You're doing so much better than me not eating too much! haha. :)
You read 200 pages in half an hour and you keep telling me you're a slow reader?! I'm worried by how tired I already am too: it's only 8 here, lol! But my mom's not tired yet, so hopefully she'll keep me awake. :)
How was the DiCamillo book? I've gotta read that one...
I don't know how you keep track of all the time spent doing things, I didn't even try to!!
and all that fruit. me hasn't eat no fruit yet - oops.
You're dead right about big font and short pages! I've ditched my wonderful but chunky novel for a graphic novel and I feel a lot better about myself!LOL
I can't believe I'm still awake,it's almost 3.35 am here...
Hang in there, the night is young! :)
I'm glad Rich and the boys are having fun and am glad that you are as well.
This has been a really fun way to get some reading done. Picking what comes next hasn't necessarily been easy, but it has been a great pleasure.
My latest cheerleader gimmick is to comb the blogosphere sending people virtual energy bursts. So here's one for you! Hope it undroops you! ;-)
And have a mentioned that I love the "down the hatch" parts of your updates except for how they're kind of making me hungry...
Keep it up! You're doing great! =)
You're doing such a great job, keep it up!
yay for great books! Sorry to hear you are getting tired! Hopefully you can hang in there!
Wow Debi!!! Look at your totals go! I have to agree with Eva...you're most certainly not a slow reader! I've found that big font and graphic novels works really well for me too!! I wish I would've figured that out with past read-a-thons :/ Ok...so I just ate some rotel dip an hour ago and now I want bean burritos :p And I also want ice cream!!! What am I to do???
