Michelle - I wasn't sure I'd even last that long! But I really did want to finish Catching Fire during the Readathon, so that was a little disappointing.

20 hours is great -- glad you enjoyed The Hunger Games and Catching Fire as well!

Mike - I lasted about 20 hours all together. I was a little disappointed when I needed to quit and get some sleep, because at that point I was more interested in finishing my book than concerned about the time, and I didn't manage that. Still, I figured I'd bail by 10:30 and I lasted til 1 AM, so go me :-)!

How many hours did you last? I noticed you went to bed before I got up for work Sunday, but you seemed to have held out longer than I would have. Good job!

Pam - I'll look forward to seeing what makes your list for the challenge!

Louise - I think the books for the challenge all have to be mentioned in Shelf Discovery, but maybe you could do your own Danish version of it?

Kristen - I thought about reading more books for the challenge that I hadn't read the first time around, but having already read Shelf Discovery, I know WHY I skipped some of them - and would still want to :-).

I have been eyeing this challenge for almost as long as Julie has had it posted. I should probably pull my copy of Shelf Discovery and just dive in although I think I want to read things that I haven't read and might have hanging around the house in my daughter's stacks.

Glad you enjoyed the read-a-thon. I had a good time cheerleading and was sorry we had so many commitments that day, making it impossible to do more.

Sounds like a very fun challenge, and one I would like to join myself, and I also know which books I would pick, but they'd all be in Danish, and I guess that is not really a lot of fun for the other readers :-)

Ooo I have to write my post. You have two of my al...

Ooo I have to write my post. You have two of my all time favorites (A Wrinkle in Time and Island of the blue Dolphin) on the list. Hooray!

Julie - Thanks so much for hosting the challenge and giving me an excuse to revisit my aimless youth, most of which I spent buried in books :-)! And yes, it's very hard to narrow down the list.

Lenore - I hope you decide to jump in! I don't think this will be a "challenging" challenge at all, since you can read books you already know you love :-).

Oh why to you tempt me so? My chance to revisit L...

Oh why to you tempt me so? My chance to revisit Lois Duncan and L'Engle! I've actually saved a lot of these books from storage boxes or bought new copies because I wanted Daniel to read them. It's just...I suck at challenges. I'll have to mull this over.

Yay! I'm so happy you "caved." I think we're going...

2009-10-26T07:48:44.538-07:00

Yay! I'm so happy you "caved." I think we're going to have so much fun. I still haven't picked my six books yet -- it's just too hard!

Kathy (Bermudaonion) - I almost wish I'd had to think about this one a little longer, but it was very easy to decide to join :-). I'm really glad Julie came up with it!

I'm so glad you're doing the Shelf Discovery Challenge because I'm excited about it. I bought Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret. this weekend to get me started. Good luck with the challenge.
