15th Hour of RATing - only 9 more hours to go!

I started reading Tiger Lily, but after reading two intensely serious books, I just couldn't get into it. So, I am reading intensely serious book #3 borrowed from mom, Revived - Cat Patrick. I'm about half way through and LOVE IT!!

I have reached my second wind, as I am now WIDE awake and in no need of toothpicks (Jennifer!) My boyfriend is going to be joining me from his home via text messages and pictures. Although the book he is reading is homework for school and not nearly as interesting as the ones we are all reading for fun!

I was reading for several hours after the midway point so I am doing my survey a little late:

1) How are you doing? Sleepy? Are your eyes tired? I was very sleep for a while but now I feel better. My legs and back are starting to get sore.
2) What have you finished reading? Forever Changes and Songs for a Teenage Nomad
3) What is your favorite read so far? Forever Changes, although Revived is a close second.
4) What about your favorite snacks? Sushi and coffee for sure
5) Have you found any new blogs through the readathon? If so, give them some love! First I want to give a shout out to my oldie but goodie fellow RATers

Quotes Appreciated:  

Mom: "I'll do anything if you ask me nicely"

Me: "Mom will you please buy me a new car because you're the greatest?"
Mom: "No"

Me: "Well I just blew that theory out of the water."

My mom posted pictures of me stretching while reading and Vonnie said it reminded her of this video.... which is SO ME!

Hour 9!! Only 15 left!

This is definitely happening to me, especially considering the main characters in both books are so similar. I am enjoying this book so far, especially the constant plugs of my kind of music, but my first RAT book was better, in my opinion.

Quotes Appreciated: "He works in computers and stuff. Actually, I have no idea what Rob does for a living, but I figure he probably has a computer wherever he is working."

"Rob sits in an office all day, he eats boring for breakfast."

The book I'm reading now keep mentioning favorite bands of mine that I thought no one else even knew about  let alone listened to. So every time the main character mentions a favorite band of mine I get really excited and put down my book to explain to my mom who the band is and why it is so exciting that they are mentioned in my book. One time she replied in frustration... "Are we talking or are we reading!!!" and I said "Well I'm obviously talking, I don't know about you!" 

She gave me a bookmark as a RAT present. She mentioned that I could take it out of the plastic, which had never really occurred to me but now that I know it bothers her, I think I'll leave it in the plastic ;) After the talking or reading comment she exclaimed, "I really wish you would take the book mark out of the plastic so you don't look like such a dork." to which I replied, "Says the woman wearing cats and dogs on her body." 

Love you mom :)

5th hour down (19 to go)

Well I just finished my book and holy crap, sad. I was pretty much sobbing into my tissue as I finished the last pages. This is definitely one of those books that will stay with me for the rest of my life.
