Just as I expected, my 4-year-old early bird did in fact get me up at 7:30. I put Postman Pat on and that should buy me the time I need to finish the Hour 24 Meme.
To all of those still reading ~ I am so proud of you! You rock and are my reading heroes!
Here are my answers to the meme:
1. Which hour was most daunting for you? Hour 20, which is when I finally had to pull the plug and go to sleep. I didn’t want to, but I knew I would need a little sleep to keep my patience with my kids today. 
2. Could you list a few high-interest books that you think could keep a Reader engaged for next year? I had no problems keeping my interest with Boneman’s Daughters or The Uncommon Reader. They were both entertaining. In fact, TUR made me laugh and giggle all the way along. Great read and an excellent read-a-thon choice.
3. Do you have any suggestions for how to improve the Read-a-thon next year? Does it have to be next year?
4. What do you think worked really well in this year’s Read-a-thon? I think that the co-hosts of the event each worked hard to make this a great experience. The other participants also helped to make it fun. Mot importantly, I cannot say enough about the cheerleaders! They were great!
5. How many books did you read? I read two.
6. What were the names of the books you read? Boneman’s Daughters and The Uncommon Reader
7. Which book did you enjoy most? The Uncommon Reader – that has everything to do with tweeting. It was the first book I ever reviewed via Twitter as I read.
8. Which did you enjoy least? Not applicable for me. I enjoyed them both.
9. If you were a Cheerleader, do you have any advice for next year’s Cheerleaders? [You all rock!]
10. How likely are you to participate in the Read-a-thon again? What role would you be likely to take next time? 99.9% The only thing that would keep me from participating would be the dates. I had so much fun I can’t wait for the next. I will act as participant, cheerleader, sponsor, whatever is needed to make it a success.

Great job, Jennifer! I’m sorry I didn’t see you more often during the Read-a-Thon, I think you were reading mostly while I was sleeping, but you still did wonderfully for the time you were able to put in! I have The Uncommon Reader on my wishlist.

Don’t feel bad about not making it all the way. My difficult hours were between 12 and 3am. Had to take a nap, but it really helped.

Hour 20??? I can’t believe you were able to stay up and focused to that point! Way to go! I definitely am hoping they do this again, and I have enough time to figure out how I can do it. I told my daughter about it, and she wants to do it with me!

Sounds like you’ve done a great job. I’ve added The Uncommon Reader to my reading list. Sounds like it would be an interesting read.
