Hour 22 – Arrrrrrrgh You Still Reading?

This is Kate from Kate’s Book Nook and I will be your cohost for the rest of the readathon! If you are thinking about going to sleep, I thought I would provide you with a little visual evidence that all cool people read. Even crazy pirates like Jack Sparrow read! Now, continuing on with the pirate theme:

Random Fact of the Hour:

The idea that “the Boogey Man will get you” comes from the Boogey people, who still inhabit an area of Indonesia. These people still act as pirates today, and attack passing ships.

Mini-Challenges:

New:

Diagram a Sentence

Still Ongoing

Show It Off

Opposite Title Puzzle Challenge

Leslie @ Under My Apple Tree

Isa @ Chasing Quills

Alexis @ Reflections of a Bookaholic

Elizabeth @ Don’t Take My Books

Kathrin @ Secret Dreamworld of a Bookaholic

Tami @ Just One More Thing (cheerleader winner)

 

Now get on with your reading, mates, before the pirates steal your treasure (aka books). Also, I apologize for the corniness of this post. But I have been up all night too and this is my delirium coming out!

    No corniness, don’t worry, we do what we need to keep awake!

    Still reading, but it is getting tough. I hope to last the last 3 hours.

    @Caro – Thanks for that!

    @Jane – You can do it. You will be upset if you quit so soon to the end!!!!

    I can’t believe I am still awake–it is 2:30 here . My daughter is still in emergency room but they are just waiting around for an ultrasound now–she said no one seems too concerned so that is good. I must be awake because I am in Mimi mode and don’t want to sleep through a little girl waking up. :)

    Still reading… have just over 200 pages to go if I hope to finish this one (50 Acres and a Poodle) before 6ish AM (gotta leave time for the wrap-up post).

    @Kim – Awww, that is so understandable. I will be praying that all is right with your daughter! You and I must be in the same time zone because it is 2:30 here as well.

    @Marina – You can do it!

    Yes, still reading! Chocolat. The movie version starred Johnny Depp. Coincidence? No, all roads should lead to Johnny Depp!
