I took a fairly long break after finishing “Breaking Dawn” around 2 and have only now finally finished my much shorter book, “Briar Rose” by Jane Yolen, another 224 pages.
I really should read another 25 pages of something at least, so I can get to a full 1,000. I don’t think I’m going to make it much longer, however, even though it isn’t all that late here. I knew I wouldn’t be able to make it all night, but I didn’t think I’d crash by 9! We’ll see, hopefully I can at least get to my 1,000.

I don’t know when I last read 1000 pages in a single day. Fantastic!
I’m running a little challenge on my blog at

It’s a short story challenge that I’m late setting up. When you’re ready to hit the books again it might be an easy way to warm up for a longer book.
well, I hope you made it through your last 25 pages. I was just thinking about Briar Rose yesterday, wondering what happened to my copy. I think I may have given it away when I quit teaching. I thought it was a lovely story, and not particularly slow like I had expected, so I hope you found it a good fit for you read-a-thon day.
Good luck meeting your goal!
Congrats! I can’t wait to hear your thoughts on Briar Rose – I’ve given several copies to people over the years, because I think it’s a beautiful novel.
Did you get to 1000? congrats on all you did during the readathon; sounds like a lot of fun!
I can’t believe you read so much! And what great picks. How did you like the books? Congratulations!
Congrats! You are doing great.
Congrats!! I hope you made it to 1,000 pages…how awesome!
Did you reach your 1,000 page goal? I finished New Moon and Eclipse during the Read-a-Thon. I started Breaking Dawn yesterday and am 250 pgs. into it. I love the series!
Congratulations! I’m curious about your thoughts on Breaking Dawn.
