Update: 48 Hour Book Challenge

This is it - I'm finished, but nowhere near 48 hours.  I took Mother Reader's advice and decided to punt on going to the library because a YA novel is just what I need.  I will just go during the week.  Besides, it is often I have the luxury of just reading.

7:20 AM -12:00  Finished Lavender Laughs in the Chalet School by Elinor Brent-Dyer 4 hours 40 minutes

1:05 PM - 7:00 PM Finished Homefront by Doris Gwaltney  5 hours 55 minutes

Sunday Total: 10 hours 35 minutes

Overall Total: 30 hours 19 minutes

Thanks to Mother Reader for hosting the 6th Annual 48 Hour Book Challenge.  I am already looking forward to next years.

Update: 48 Hour Book Challenge

I was so tired by the time I finally stopped reading last night, I just went to sleep. 
I started reading If I should die before I wake at 7:00 PM and stopped 2:00 AM for a total of 7 reading hours, and I am almost fininshed.  So far, it is an interesting novel and I wll have a complete post on it soon.  I envy people who can skim a book, but I have never been able to do that.
Well,  upward and onward!  There is reading to be done.

Friday Total: 7 hours

48 Hour Book Challenge

Mother Reader is hosting her 6th Annual 48 Hour Book Challenge from 7:00 PM Friday June 3rd to 7:00 AM Monday June 6th.  The basic premise is to read for a 48 hour period with this time.  At first, I didn't think I could do this, because I knew I would be working most of Saturday and Sunday.  Then I realized I would be working on some research in the library and, really, I would just be reading.  The challenge is based on amount of time spent reading, not number of pages, so if I can count my research reading, as well as some novels, it seems to me that should work.

The books I have chosen for my own reading are
1- If I should die before I wake by Han Nolan
2- Homefront by Boris Gwaltney
3- Lady Lazarus by Michele Lang

Not as long a list as many participants, but that's OK.  Good luck to everyone this weekend.
