Read A Thon April 2009 - Update 8

Went to take a nap at around 4:30 am and didn't get back up until 8:30 this morning!!!!! So, I read more of King of the Screwups by KL Going. Liam has been trying to pretend that he's a nerd but he is way too dumb. I love how Going has integrated flashbacks of Liam as a kid so that we can understand why he's the way he is now. I'm trying to understand how Pete and Allan could be brothers and be so very different.

That was so much fun. I know now NOT to take a nap with only four hours left and NOT to read in bed because it makes you tired. I look forward to the October Read A Thon!

Next time I might even try having this as a school fundraiser library/overnighter type thing. We could have different activities like Guitar Hero, Dance Dance Revolution, etc. Money could be raised for the library to help with our remodeling fund. Hmmm...
