  2. Hey Les, just dropping by to say "You go girl!" It is always good to get a little exercise when you're tired. But looks like you are doing great :)

    Cocoa and cookies are yummy at close of day;
    Read, read into the dead of the night.

    I hope you're enjoying Holly's Inbox. It's huge, but I had a lot of fun reading it.

    Can you believe we're past the half way point of the 'thon? It's gone by so fast! I hope you're still having fun - enjoy your remaining books :)

  7. Keep up the good work! I found that keep up and moving a bit helped me when I was getting tired last time.

  8. Sassy - Yeah, although I've been working longer hours at B&N and am so wiped out at the end of the day, I haven't walked on the treadmill in a couple of weeks. But when I do, it's great to be able to blog-hop. I take notes on posts I want to respond to later since it's a little tough typing while walking. ;)

    Wendy - Thanks for the encouragement. I didn't get on the treadmill after all, but maybe I'll find time next time around. I think I should take a shower around midnight, hop on the treadmill once my hair is dry and then I'm sure to be awake until at least 3 or 4. Remind me next April, ok? ;)

    Softdrink - Love your poetry/cheers! Thanks for visiting with your words of encouragement.

    Shannon - Yep. I love keeping up with my blog-hopping while exercising. Thanks for visiting during the read-a-thon!

    Diane - Thanks. Those late hours before midnight were tough!

    Alitareads - I'm enjoying Holly's Inbox, but wound up setting it aside for more of The Graveyard Book. It's a fine line between fluff and entertainment while reading for this challenge. I think Holly's Inbox was just a wee bit too light and fluffy (and I found myself getting easily distracted). I definitely plan to finish it, though.

    Thanks for stopping by!

    Drea - I was actually walking around the house with my book in my hand. But my eyes were giving out on me, so I had to call it quits before midnight. I still had a lot of fun! Thanks for the encouragement!
