Update! At 4:55pm, after 7 hours, I read my 50th book of the day and finished my reading marathon!! :-) :-) Thank you EVERYBODY who sponsored me, gave words of encouragement or visited me during my big long day at the library!

Thank you Tom and staff at Staines Library, Dawud Wharnsby, Sophie from my school who sat with me for 5 books, uncle Adnan and auntie Suraiyia, Albie, Sarah and Phill for the pictures, los Yayos in Spain, cousin Pinchi's Yayos, Yaya Maja and mummy for your patience! xxx

----------- It's not too late to sponsor me :-) -----------

My challenge:

Thank you for coming. I'm Sofia.

My grandma Maja's friend Tony died in the Philippines. I want to help all the other people still alive in the Philippines because they are cold and hungry.

Come and see me reading in Staines Library on Saturday 30 November from 11am. I will try and read 50 books. If you give me 1 pound you can choose one of the books that I read.

If you sponsor me online now, your money will go straight to the DEC fund, so it will help the victims NOW.
