It's now 3 AM on Sunday morning here in Japan. I haven't been doing much reading at all since my last update almost 6 hours ago (really! 6 hours? Where does the time go?). I finished The Hunger Games and then spent longer than I should have looking at my shelves to come up with something for Bart's Mini-challenge. And then I've been round a few bloggers and cheerleaders to leave comments. Actual Time Spent Reading (since last update): 70 min.
Pages Read (since last update): 88
Total Time Spent Reading: 6 hours 20 min.
Total Pages Read: 454
Books Completed: 1 (The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins)
Food/Drink Consumed: Just some iced green tea, water, juice - not all at once.
Other Activities: The boys were demanding attention so I played with them for a bit.
Random Fact: H was away during the afternoon but he came back and was watching baseball on TV this evening so I took my book to the bedroom. As I get older, I seem to prefer reading in quiet. ;)
Mood: Sleepy! My eyes are dragging down and feeling dry, and I'm having a hard time concentrating. So I'm going to take a book to bed with me but I don't think I'll last too long. My plan is to sleep for about 5 or 6 hours (I'll be setting my alarm) and then to spend a couple of hours on the computer catching up and cheering some of the other readers on. So don't expect to see me for several hours, but I will be back later. Hope everyone's having fun!
Mini-challenges completed (since last update):
Where in the World is the Read-a-thon? - Added my location to the Google Map, the first one in Japan.
Bart's Mini-challenge - Came up with a couple of possibilies: Something might happen in the woods after dark.

Cute cat pic! Get some rest :)
Sleep is good. Hopefully we'll see you later!
Well, have nice rest! And I can't read with the telly on either... but taking a book to bed? Not a good idea for me right now! LOL See you later!
Great job! Enjoy your nap!
Hope all is going well now that we are into the 8th hour of the Read-a-Thon :) This is Louise cheering from Copenhagen, Denmark...
Your cat is so totally adorable!
Very happy readathon! Enjoy your books... and your rest :D
Love the pictures in your header, BTW.
You are doing great. I got a little thrown off schedule this am, but I’m back on track now. Keep up the good work! (LOVE THE CAT PIX)
I will surely need a nap a bit later unless, I walk around the house constantly until I fall over from exhaustion...LOL
Whew--3 AM! That's when it starts getting rough. You're doing great, Nat!
And Hi Jiro! You're a beautiful cat! :)
Yes well Jiro does seem to have rather attentive eyes. Handsome looking cat :) Have a nice good sleep to power you up for more reading!
I'm with you. I can't read when there's a lot of noise nearby. I don't like to read when the tv's on. Can't listen to music unless it's instrumental.
I'm tired, too, but it's only 4:55 pm in the afternoon. I'm hoping to get a second wind. Fell asleep on the couch for a couple of minutes and decided to come blog-hop for a bit in order to wake up.
Looking forward to your review for The Hunger Games.
Hope you're having a great time! Keep up the reading!
Its the 11th hour of the Read-a-Thon. How are you holding up? I'm cheering for you. You can do it!!!
See you again after you're well rested. A nap is always good. I had mine a while ago, but only for a few minutes, because my son had to ask me to do something and I couldn't get back to sleep, lol.
Hope you had a good sleep!
Great reading!!! A finish already!!! Awesome!!!
Jiro's so cute! My Murchie demanded that I play with him for a little while, too, so I played with one hand and held my book open with the other. :)
Sweet dreams!
It's okay. There's still time! :)
And I loved what you came up with for Bart's mini-challenge
Hope you are having sweet dreams and wake up to enjoy more reading hours.
cute cat! You've gotten a lot accomplished during the readathon!
Lot of people reading Suzanne Collins for the readathon!
Enjoy your nap!
Reading until 3am is a great job. I'm about to fall asleep and it is only 10pm here.
Enjoy your rest!

Thank you everyone for stopping by to cheer me on during the read-a-thon. I really appreciate all your comments.
And thanks to Lenore, Alessandra, Diane, Trish, Mark David, Memory, and Valerie for commenting on the picture of Jiro. He's such a friendly, lovable cat, and makes for a great reading buddy. :)
