No, I didn’t get nearly as much done as I hoped, or as I did last year. But, hey, with a headache and dizziness, this is still quite good. And it was definitely still fun.<\/p>\n
I only finished three books. But Code Name Verity<\/em> was so incredibly good, it was just as well it was the only fiction book I finished. All the better to savor that way.<\/p>\n Here are my stats:<\/p>\n Total time spent on the 48HBC: 27 hours, 30 minutes How this was broken up: Books Finished: Books partially read: Total pages read: 758<\/p>\n Time spent Listening: 3 hours, 25 minutes Time spent Networking (mostly Twitter and Facebook): 1 hour, 30 minutes<\/p>\n Time spent Blogging: 10 hours, 40 minutes (counting only until 11:30)<\/p>\n Books Reviewed: Still, Shiny Objects, Code Name Verity<\/em> (All the books I finished, so that goal, at least, was reached.) Other Blog Posts: Total words written: 5,778<\/p>\n So, it looks like I will need to turn in lots and lots of books if I want to go to California in a couple weeks without holding onto library books I haven’t read. We shall see!<\/p>\n Now, I admit I wish I hadn’t had a headache the whole weekend. But if I had to have a headache, it was definitely nice to be distracted. I’m counting this a success!<\/p>\n
