Thank you for being such a great co-host for the readathon, Ana. This was my first time participating and I enjoyed it so much! I never knew Dewey, but it is so wonderful that this readathon continues to inspire so many in her memory.

Jodie: I'm very glad it does too. But it seems so surreal it's been so long :(

Lenore: lol! Mine have the same tendency :P Thank you again for being such an awesome cheerleader!

Naida: She really is :( But it's definitely nice, yes.

kikiv68: Aww, thank you for the kind words! I'm SO glad you had a good time.

Julie: Thank you SO much for the kind words - and also for being a cheerleader. I'm very glad you had a good time :)

tanabata: I think so too. And thank *you*! This might sound cheesy and clichéd, but it's also true: it's the participants that make the 'thon so awesome :P

Love the lolcat, I'm feeling a bit that way right now, actually. ;)
I think Dewey would be thrilled at how her ideas (not just the read-a-thon but the Bookworms Carnival, Weekly Geeks and on and on...) live on and continue to grow! She left us a lasting legacy.
Thanks so much for all your hard work to make this such a fabulous event! :)

I appreciate your hard work for the readathon. It is wonderful! I appreciate all that are involved in keeping this readathon going. As a co-host I think that you are doing a wonderful job. Keep it up! It has been so fun to learn more about the readathon as I have been visiting other blogs and cheering. I'm so glad that I could take part this year by cheering. I've read some amazing posts, added quite a lot to my TBR and all of this is fantastic!

I'm so excited to start the readathon. I'm hoping I can stop by the library to pick up more audiobooks on the way to work, since I'm starting to love them.

2009-10-24T06:03:28.270+01:00

I won't be reading much, since I'm working. But I will be cheering on in the end. Wish I could do more :(

Thanks for helping to carry on the Readathon, Ana!...

I was almost up the whole time last year, but this year I think the weather changes are starting to get to me. I really really hope I am not getting sick! Have fun with everything, Ana!

What do you mean you don't have superhero powers? I don't believe you!

2009-10-23T23:26:47.593+01:00

LOL @ my super powers. We'll see if I get any reading done this time around. ;)

And I miss Dewey terribly as well.

2009-10-23T21:58:15.272+01:00

It's hard to believe it's been nearly a year. In ways it seems like it's been both shorter and much longer than that. If that makes any sense. I'm still a little sad that I didn't get a chance to *really* participate in the Read-a-thon while Dewey was still with us, but even some of my "unofficial" slacker participation matched me up with some of my favorite bloggers even now.

She definitely gave us a gift, and it's a privilege to see so many people participating now and to be able to participate myself now thanks to her brilliant idea and your (and everyone else's!) hard work.

Can't wait til tomorrow! It's gonna be a blast! =D

2009-10-23T21:55:31.230+01:00

I always want to do this, but I think I will have to pass again since my life seems to be a wee bit crazy right now! But I will try to finish my current book, in honor of Dewey. :)

Well done to all you guys for organising such a brilliant event. I really wish I could join in, but I am not around. Good luck to everyone.
