I agree about The Glass Castle.
The Glass Castle would have been a really good one. I think my numbers are off but I'm too tired to figure it all out. :( Our page numbers and blogging time are really close!
Yay for staying up the whole time!!
Congrats! You did great!
Congratulations on finishing! Fantastic job and enjoy your sleep!
Great job!
My daunting hours were between 16 and 19 -- I took a nap!
I agree _ Stardust is a good readathon book.
Well done!!! :)
Great job! I slept from 12-5:30 am. I tried to hold out, but I just couldn't.

Yay! you made it!!!
Congrats on staying up for the whole time. I knew you'd make it! Awesome job on your reading too.
Great job and congratulations - your stats are terrific! I can see where a Nemirovsky novel might be hard to read during this event (even though that is a slim book).
Congrats on a great R-A-T!
Laura!! You were awesome! Well done :D
Good job!
Yay! Congrats on finishing! That is fantastic, and your stats are impressive!
I've had The Glass Castle on my TBR list for I don't know how long! Congrats on a sucessful readathon!
Your stats are really good, glad you had a great read-a-thon!
Good grief! I'm so impressed!
Great accomplishment in all that you read. This was my first time participating, but I would agree that the hostess did an amazing job!
Awesome job! Props to you for putting My Antonia on your list - sounds like a hard one. Thanks for letting me tag along as cheerleader. I had a blast!
I loved My Antonia! It was more just beautiful than captivating though.
I am having a hard time wanting to get back into reading, since the read-a-thon. Huh, I don't get why!?! HA.
You did such a great job and I can't wait to see what you thought of the books you read. Congrats on all that $$ you are giving to your charity.
Congratulations on finishing! You've got a wonderful set of books there. I really enjoyed Stardust, too, and you did right by picking it for the read-a-thon, it's perfect for the pace and circumstance. Fire in the Blood is on my TBR pile and I'll see if I like it any better than you. :D
