Congrats on all the reading you did! We didn’t really stay up for the whole thing as we wanted to, but some of us made it to about 3 in the morning.

Hope to see you again next year! Happy reading. ๐Ÿ™‚

I’m hanging in there. Of course, it’s only 10pm here and I just spent 30 minutes trying to get a youtube vid to work so that was unproductive. Still makes me laugh though. Hang in there!

Tried to go out for a walk to wake up a bit. Hope that helps for a little.

If you’re getting sleepy try a walk or take a shower if you can.

We’re all happily snacking and cheering and reading of course.

A quote to keep you going:

Boy, Lexicon just throws you in! I’m 50% through.

Lexicon is a fun one and it’s pretty quick to get through. Even though The Goldfinch is big, I found myself having such a hard time putting it down. I hope you love it!
