Are we ready to read the crap out of the last four hours of this readathon? YES WE ARE. If you fancy a reading break, you can catch up with my previous update posts for Hours 0-4, Hours 5-8, Hours 9-16 and Hours 17-20, all of which are full of photographs (of books, food AND cats), challenge entries, videos and reading updates. Hope you're all raring to go for this last push towards the end of the day! :)
~ Hour 21 (10am) ~
I've been reading: A Play on Words by Deric Longden
Pages read since my last update: 25
Pages read altogether: 366
Mini challenges completed: 7
The menu: Nothing - I need another cuppa though.
In six words: 500 page goal out of reach?
Thoughts: Well, I don't think I'm hitting 500 pages, especially given that I'm updating twenty minutes late because Mum was having another one of her "Come and look at this! I'll stand here near you for a minute! Shall we look out of the window? Do you have any snacks open? Look, the cat's being cute!" moments. *sighs* It may have been lonely the other 363 days of the year, but having a granny flat to retreat to at our old house sure was handy for readathons... Onwards. Maybe I'll try to read through to the end of another hour and THEN make more coffee. I feel like I'm wasting time now if I so much as step out of the room! MUST! KEEP! GOING!

The menu: Nothing again - I need food AND a cuppa now!
In six words: Plodding on to the bitter end...
Thoughts: My thoughts at this point are mostly "SHIT I'm hungry", "Why do I have no coffee?" and "Hey, remember television? Wasn't that fun?" Classic end-of-readathon incoherent immediate-needs-related thoughts, in other words. Maybe if I go fetch the coffee and the food and carry on I'll feel better about the whole thing. Yeah, let's go with that.
