\"\"<\/a>Look at that! While I was finishing Wednesdays in the Tower<\/em>, the 48 hours ended. I’m going to write up my finish line post and then take a NAP!<\/p>\n

And I did it! I actually spent a full 24 hours and 35 minutes out of the last 48 reading and blogging!<\/p>\n

Okay, 20 minutes were unpacking boxes of books, but that’s still more than 24 hours on officially sanctioned activities.<\/p>\n

I finished 3 novels — Heart’s Blood<\/a><\/em>, by Juliet Marillier, reread Tuesdays at the Castle<\/a><\/em>, by Jessica Day George, and just this minute Wednesdays in the Tower<\/em>.<\/p>\n

I’m a little disappointed in Wednesdays in the Tower<\/em>. I rather wish I hadn’t reread the first book, or I think I would have liked it more. But the magic of the castle didn’t seem to work the same way — but most of all, the story isn’t finished. It didn’t tie up nicely like in the first book. Anyway, I’ll save it for a review.<\/p>\n

Here’s how my time was spent:<\/p>\n

13 hours and 55 minutes reading. I read 933 pages, 267 of which were various nonfiction books, the rest of which were the three novels.<\/p>\n

2 hours and 25 minutes were spent listening to The Plantagenets<\/em> by Dan Jones.<\/p>\n

2 hours and 15 minutes were spent posting previously-written reviews.<\/p>\n

5 hours and 40 minutes were spent writing reviews or blog posts or recording times.<\/p>\n

20 minutes were spent unpacking 3 boxes of books. (Not an official activity, but I thought it should count if I only unpacked boxes of books.)<\/p>\n

And now it’s time to sleep!<\/p>\n
