It's the day after Dewey's Read-a-Thon. I had a great time participating. I finished two books, Faith by Jennifer Haigh and Fury by Salman Rushdie and made sizeable dents in Galore by Michael Crummey and Far To Go by Alison Pick. I also read 75 pages of Night Road by Kristin Hannah. I fell asleep about 11:30/12:00 midnight despite also napping accidentally in the late afternoon! So disappointing! I didn't wake until late this morning so there are no Readathon updates after 7 p.m. on my blog. My allergies started kicking in a few days ago so I've been extra tired, but I realized yesterday that I don't have the energy and stamina to read for 24-hours even with breaks. I accomplished the most reading in the morning when I was able to read for several hours after a good night's sleep and my favorite morning friend, coffee!!
I really enjoyed visiting other Readathon participants blogs, reading their updates and cheering them on. Next year I'm going to be a cheerleader and offer to host part of the Readathon. The cats will be the most disappointed since several of them sat on my while I was reading. I had to shoo Lola off my lap because after I replaced a bookmark that has a dangling charm she kept swatting at and playing with she started chewing the corner of the book I was reading! Lola's a little thing and she has the most energy and playfulness I've ever seen in cat!
Thank you to everyone who stopped by to cheer my reading and wish me well! I really appreciated your comments.
Enjoy your Sunday!
I've been having a lot of problems with spacing in my posts especially when I add an image to my post. Does anybody know how I can fix this?

Congratulations on such a successful read-a-thon!
I missed all the action as I just got back late yesterday. It sounds as if you did very well.
I participated in two of them and for some reason, it takes weeks for me to recover from them so I've skipped the last few.
Sounds like this was totally enjoyable. I joined one year and had fun, but just did not have time to devote this time.
I just had a ball with the readathon this year, and I'm sorry I didn't stop by. I purposely avoided the computer, so I could actually read something.
I can't help you with the spacing thing. I had horrible times with line breaks a couple of weeks ago, and had to migrate to the new Blogger text editor to fix it.
Glad that overall you had a wonderful time with the readthon! It's hard to read for 24 hours--I've only made it a few times and with many breaks--but it's the fun that counts. And I'm thrilled to hear you'll be signing up to cheer for a little bit. We never seem to have enough cheerleaders.
In terms of spacing, have you tried editing the html coding? Sometimes that's the only way I can see that I have extra (or no) spaces. Blogger can be frustrating sometimes!
Happy Monday!
I wish I could help you with the spacing problem, but I'm not very familiar with Blogger. I hope you find someone who can help!
It sounds like you had a good readathon, even if you slept more than you'd planned! How fun to have the kitties around, even if they got a little annoying at times. It's during readathons that I most miss having a cat of my own.
Looks like you had fun. I was sorry to miss the readathon this time around.
I've always wanted to do this Read-a-thon, but somehow seem to forget to once it rolls around every year. I'm glad you did it!
