Hey you! Yes. You! I've noticed that you've stopped by to visit a few times! But I don't know who you are. Why don't you take a moment and introduce yourself. Don't be scared. I try not to bite. I know you're a lurker but I'd love to hear your thoughts about what's been bringing you here.

Hey Natasha.. good to see you’re up. I think everyone else is pretty much asleep by now, lol.
on April 19th, 2009 at 2:34 amWowow, I think you’re doing amazingly well – I’d have fallen asleep after about 4 hours – my eyes just want to close after that amount of reading. The lemon sorbet sounds divine
on April 19th, 2009 at 2:58 amDoing great
on April 19th, 2009 at 3:11 amAnd a nap is always good to keep going
keep it up! Hope to finish a total of 4 books but 3 is more likely. Just did my update.
on April 19th, 2009 at 3:25 amWoo-hoo! Keep on going. You’re in the home stretch. I know you can do it! Just a little while longer!
on April 19th, 2009 at 3:43 amWelcome back. I think there are just a few of us left. I kept my cuddling time to 5 minutes–knew I wouldn’t be able to resist if I stayed more than that.
on April 19th, 2009 at 3:46 amI think you need to do some jumping jacks!
Your husband is so supportive of you to be out on the couch with you instead of in bed!
on April 19th, 2009 at 4:35 amWow you had classy snacks – just makes my mouth water thinking about lemon sorbet. I love seeing so many people donating to charity this time around – you all get an extra large cheer and a woohoo!
on April 19th, 2009 at 5:27 amYou are doing amazing Natasha! Now, just think of writing all the reviews! I figure there will be an explosion of them over the next few days!
on April 19th, 2009 at 5:49 amHey Natasha! I’m guessing you fell asleep, but I just wanted to say great job!
on April 19th, 2009 at 6:32 amFrom what I hear about it, you are brave to try that Sunless Sea book after so little sleep!
on April 19th, 2009 at 7:42 amyeah, cuddling will do that to a person. =)
Looks like you had a great read-a-thon – congratulations!
on April 19th, 2009 at 8:15 amWow, four book! An admirable job, Natasha. Enjoy the sleep.
on April 19th, 2009 at 8:31 amYou did great, at least you woke up! I fell asleep at 12:30 and didn’t wake up until 4:30!
on April 19th, 2009 at 8:57 amlol-Cuddling is never a good idea when you’re trying to stay awake. Either way you’ve gone a great job!
on April 19th, 2009 at 9:15 amYou had a wonderful day!
on April 19th, 2009 at 9:27 amCongrats on an awesome job!!
on April 19th, 2009 at 11:02 amWow, congrats! Now you’ve got me craving sorbet…mouth. watering. mmm….
on April 19th, 2009 at 4:47 pmI wish I had time for read-a-thons…I’m so caught up in preparing for finals. Gotta keep that GPA up!
on April 19th, 2009 at 5:00 pmI could have sworn that I didn’t see you on the readers list that was posted! I knew you were reading though. The whole thing was so fun, and although I didn’t actually read like you all did, going around to cheer others on (and visit) was great fun. I’m so looking forward to the next read-a-thon! Looks like you did GREAT!
on April 19th, 2009 at 6:16 pmThat’s awesome that you were able to raise so much money! I hope that right now you are able to enjoy some recovery sleep
on April 19th, 2009 at 7:12 pmI’m so impressed with how many people actually read this year! And you guys did awesome!
Congrats on raising money too!! Fantastic job!
