Hour 19
5 more hours....I'm not sure I am going to make it. But gosh dang it I will try.
Since we last met I have listened to one little fluffy piece...and read another.
They are both on the same vein - something not to taxing to read in the later hours.
I have realized that I can get E-audiobooks through my library. Which makes me very happy and so I can stay awake and crochet/knit while listening to more books.
I really am hoping that this is going to make the next stretch work out.
Another thing I have been doing is alternating between chapters of different non-fiction books - 5 all told.
It may be a bit scattered, but I have noticed in past years that this is the time when I am getting too tired to focus on one thing for too long. Check back in an hour!

Hour 11 - Almost Halfway There
I fell asleep - just for a bit. I really need to get better at the night time sleeping thing.
But I just finished Twilight Child. "Gentle" is the best word that I can use to describe this book.
It's a nice little story about Eleni - a child born at twilight and therefore gifted to see the other folk - the fey. Her life takes her from Finland to Scotland when her father decides to take her after her mother's death. She finds herself in Tobermori, a small town in the Scottish highlands.
My Thoughts:
Its a short nice read about Eleni and her life and experience with the other from the tonttu of the Finnish sauna to the brounies of her Scottish home.
I read it once years ago and remembered it as a nice read and wanted to go back to it. I was glad that I did because it was a nice story. But I believe that's the best I can say of it. It was nice.
Well now I am in for the harder bit of staying up for the next 12 hours.
Wish me luck and I hope you all are enjoying your marathon!
