Officially, this is almost hour eight of the readathon as I type this. But for me, it's only about hours 5 because I slept through the first three hours. Sorry guys! I'm still in the middle of my glorious Stephen King book, The Wastelands (see last post for a pic). I'm going to try to post pictures of me reading later or tomorrow, but I'm too lazy at the moment to spend all that energy uploading.
So far so good!
One of the mini-challenges was "Love to Hate". You have to list 5 characters that you love to hate in your favorite books. I've heard some interesting ones, from President Coin (Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins) to Cathy and Heathcliff (Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte) so now I'm trying to compile my own list. It's hard!
- Bella from Twilight by Stephenie Meyer: she's kind of pathetic, and even though I love the books she cracks me up sometimes.
- Squealer from Animal Farm by George Orwell. We just read this book in class and I can't believe how devious that little pig is!
- Stark from Airhead by Meg Cabot. Head of an evil corporation... he's EVVVIIIILLLLL.
- Mr. Harvey from The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold. Can you say pedophilic creep? *shudder*
- Bob Ewell from To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee. God, he drives me INSANE. He's such trash, and yet he thinks he's all high and mighty compared to Tom Robinson. Makes me sick.
Gotta keep reading!

Bella is a great answer!
A fun little ditty:
There once was a girl from Canuck
Whose nose was oft' buried in a book
Her hoarding got bad
Her neighbors got mad
So the townsfolk bought her a nook
Happy Reading!
