Hip Hip Hooray! It’s time for Mother Reader<\/a>‘s annual 48-Hour Book Challenge!<\/a> The time when the guilt is totally reversed — You get to feel guilty if you’re NOT reading! \ud83d\ude42 Woo-hoo!<\/p>\n

This has been a crazy and insane week. I’ll blog about that later. Let’s simply say that I am totally ready to forget about all that and READ. I also have a stack of 10 books I’d like to review, so I will want to review the books I get read as well as clear the backlog.<\/p>\n

I am not so dedicated that I won’t take some time off to sleep. And I confess I’m not planning to set my alarm on Saturday. And I will go to church on Sunday and I hope also to the local Kidlit Book Club. I will listen to an audiobook in the car on the way!<\/p>\n

For the first book, I am halfway through Rick Riordan’s The Red Pyramid,<\/em> so I will see if I can stay awake long enough to finish that tonight. Mother Reader does request that we read books intended for fifth grade and up, but I confess that this year I’ve been eyeing some of the shorter books. And a lot of my backlog of books to review are picture books. She didn’t put any restriction on what you blog about, so I think it will be okay to get some of those reviews written.<\/p>\n

Last year, I completed a total of 23 hours and 30 minutes. But a lot of that time was spent upgrading my blog because it had quit working about a week before. Last year, I finished 5 books and reviewed 5 books and read parts of 6 books, for a total of 1120 pages. I’m hoping I can top all those totals this year. We’ll see!<\/p>\n

Anyway, enough rambling on! Woo-hoo! I NEED to read!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
