Thanks for all the encouragement along the way, folks! My first Read-a-thon was a lot of fun, thanks to you all!

Vasilly - The cheerleading's been wonderful! But I don't know how to do that without letting the reading slide.

Amy - Short answer? Definitely YES. Combo review of HG and Catching Fire will come soon!

Care - Yes, Softdrink's songs and cheers have made the whole Read-a-thon thing worth it :-D!

Lenore - But now we all have to wait a year for Book 3!

Susan - I think The Demo Tapes are excellent Read-a-thon material - fast and engaging - even though I didn't actually get to them!

You've done great! I know what you mean, I admire the people who are able to read and cheer and everything. I'm glad you fun regardless though. And I look forward to your thoughts on The Hunger Games and Catching Fire.

Now that it's past midnight and our eyes are drooping lower, it's time for us night owls to get our second wind! So here is a big HOOT from Alabama. Keep on Reading!!!! Just a few more hours to go!!!!

I think you're doing great. I personally think it's impossible to find a balance of reading and socializing during readathon- you pick one or the other. Good work on the reading you did!

What a wonderful job. I absolutely loved THE HUNGER GAMES. I'm anxious to see what you think about CATCHING FIRE.
Keep up the good work.

Yep, the Demo Tapes are very short stories. Let me know if they are good Readathon material; maybe I'll do some sort of fun promo for the next Readathon if they are.

Enjoy the rest of it!

I really am quite jealous that you have Hunger Games AND Catching Fire to read! oh ah. Happy Reading! :)

It's astounding, time is fleeting
Reading takes its toll
But listen closely, not for very much longer
You've almost met the goal

I remember doing the Read-a-thon
During those moments when
The blackness would hit me and sleep would be calling
Let's do the readathon again...
Let's do the readathon again!

It's just a book in your hand
And then a flip of the page
With your eyes on the words
You let your mind engage
But it's the cheerleaders that really drive you insane,
Let's do the readathon again!

Your book is dreamy, or hot and steamy
It stars a banshee, or no one at all
It’s in another dimension, there’s no comprehension
Oh no, there’s none at all
With a bit of a page flip
You're suddenly on a space ship
And nothing can ever be the same
You're strung out on cookies, you sound like a Wookie
Let's do the readathon again!

Well I was strolling through the bookstore just havin’ a look
When what should I espy but my next book
It shook me up, it took me by surprise
It had a sale tag and Care gave it 5 pies.
It lured me in and I felt a change
Time meant nothing, never would again
Let's do the readathon again!

I've seen so many bloggers read the Hunger Games and have said it was really good. Now, I'm feeling the pressure and wonder if I should read it, too.

Two book completed! Great job!

Did you like the Hunger Games???????

Next time I will definitely be reading instead of cheering/reading. I would love to be reading a little more.Don't worry about the social aspect so much. You're doing great.
