Ok, now can we all take a deep breath and "step away from the books"...
Phew!!

Congratulations RitaSkeeter you got the Virtual Chockies!! A truly mammoth effort! :)

[Phrynne, Series Queen!]

I think she deserves virtual champagne as well. It was an amazing effort. (Don't tell her anyone that we expect even more than that in the next Readathon)

[Phrynne, Series Queen!]

See we had a beautiful weather in Sydney. I had to do all my reading at night.

Are they in the Wingdings or Webdings font selections? Or in the special characters drop down menu?

No they are in an app called touch and copy.

Where are you off to tomorrow Bette? Don't tease ;) Have a great time anyway :)

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Ahh sounds divine Bette! Have a great time. Head out to The Pines where you'll find Elaine at Dymocks and say hi!

[Ace]

Haha B, I'll have that tune in my head all day now...sometimes I breakout in song which can be embarrassing!

Have fun in Melb, I used to love eating in Chinatown, or anywhere really :)

That's great! How are you finding the "voice"? ..."

Brenda, I'm curious as to what you meant here, did you mean the voice of the author or the translator?
I liked Elsa, she was clever and logical (for a nearly eight year old).

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

No Elsa's voice:) I hadn't got far into it when I asked you that question and was finding it a bit ... different!
