Hour 45: Feeling All the Feels

It’s Hour 45, which means it’s my last official check-in with you all for the weekend. And you know what that means: ALL THE FEELINGS.

A woman in front of a Christmas tree waves her hands with the caption "Feelings. So many feelings right now."

Seriously, though, this weekend is an incredible testament to the power of books and reading to bring people together in ways that are still mind-blowing to me, even after many, many years of doing this thing. I know I speak for my fellow co-hosts when I say we are so, so grateful for each and every one of you who participate, who share this event with friends and family, who cheer each other on over the course of the weekend. For reals. It’s amazing.

The cast of Saved by the Bell does a cheer with the caption "Friends Forever!"

Don’t worry, there will be more feels at Hour 48 as we wrap this wonderful weekend up, and there’s still three whole hours left to read read read read read!
