Don't know how I'm still awake, but I am. I think maybe because I'm a little cold that that's helping.

Hour 19 Challenge
This challenge, hosted by Dead Book Darling, invites us to post a picture of a treasured book or set of books that we're proud of. Show off our own book porn? Um, OKAY!
My collection of signed Jasper Fforde books is certainly a prized possession. Not just because I love his work (and have a bit of an Author Crush on him),or because it allows me to buy multiple copies of his books in each country they're published, but also because I met one of my best friends at his signing one year ago.
It's also because he recently came back here for another reading and signing, and not only did he kindly make fun at the obscene amount of books that we brought for him to autograph (5 FULL tote bags!), he smiled and joked with us the whole time he did it. PLUS, the library (where the event was held) had great fake adverts put up all around the room that featured in his books, and he signed a full set of them for each of us!
So now, any doubt as to my purchasing a copy of his newest book in hardcover has been swiftly banished, and instead replaced by a certainty that I will purchase 2 of them and have him just sign one and then sign and personalize the other. I think it's safe to say that I'm a big fan of him and all of his works!

It's getting harder to stay awake, but haven't quite reached that head-nodding stage yet, where facial injury is possible if I read while laying down. Just in case, I'm thinking I should read a paperback.
Anyone else still awake out there?
Hour 20! Woo! You're really killing this thing too :)
ReplyDeleteSo are you, my dear! I think I'm going to try and stay awake for the full 24 this time, unless the 3:00/4:00 AM window gets to be too much. (It usually does!) Perhaps more caffeine?
ReplyDeleteBrilliant! Perhaps I'll have some chocolate, so as to fuel up on both caffeine and sugar!
DeleteWell...I did drift off for awhile, but I'm back for the last hour! You did fantastically! Maybe next time we'll both get a good night's sleep the night before and can last the entire 24 hours... (unless you're still awake?)
ReplyDeleteI was looking to realize this issue farther and discovered this data to be informative..
