Books Read: 4 (completed)
Books started but not finished: 1
Pages read: 933
Book update: I made it halfway through Monique and the Mango Rains by Kris Holloway. So I did not complete my 5 book goal for the challenge. HOWEVER, how can I not be optimistic??? Check out the clean water update!
Personal update: I fell asleep. At 3 am (2 hours to the end of the 24 hour read-a-thon) I told myself I was just going to close my eyes for a second....and you know how that went :) I woke up at 6 am and had not finished the last book.
Clean Water update: Well, it is pretty exciting I must say, that together we raised the amounts below!!! You all were so great, incredible. Now it is time for the sponsors to take action :) I finished 4 books, so you should know what your total is, but let me know if you have any questions. You can click on the "first giving- sponsor me!" button at the bottom of this post to go to a secure payment page. Thanks again, I would not have been able to do this without you. NO WAY.

Where will the dinero ($) go? It will go to an organization I have become quite passionate about. I will be giving it to Living Water International an amazing organization funding the building of wells all over the world in developing nations.

You did so fantastic, Bethany! You should be very very proud of everything that you did. I'll be making my donation later today. :)
And thanks for being such a great motivator. You are awesome!
I didn't participate in the Read-A-Thon because I had to work yesterday, but by reading (and watching) your updates and also Raych from books i done read, I wish I had participate. You two at least looked like you had a lot of fun, and raised a good amount of money too. Congratulations.
Loved the video, by the way. Very creative and great how you put the book upside down first.
trish- yep, I think we did :) I was soooo sleepy during the video! haha, when I look at it now, it is SO silly.
Thank you for all your support and help!!! You are amazing.
