TSS/Dewey's 24 Hour Read-a-thon:Wrap Up!

Finally it is over! Due to unavoidable reasons, I started the read-a-thon after 4 hours and lost 5 odd hours to sleep. Now I am kind of comfortable with how much reading I did in the time left. I finished 4 1/2 books. All from different genres and very good reads.
