\"48hbc\"<\/a>Yay! This morning at 7:45 am, I finished this year’s 48-Hour Book Challenge just as I finished reading another book.<\/p>\n

My grand total was 28 hours and 15 minutes reading and reviewing, my second most for the challenge.<\/p>\n

I finished the most books ever during the challenge — 8, and reviewed the most books ever — 5.<\/p>\n

Here’s how the time was broken up:<\/p>\n

18 hours and 30 minutes spent reading. That includes 1827 books read.<\/p>\n

\nRead Bottom Up<\/a><\/em>, by Neel Shah and Skye Chatham
\nThe Boys Who Challenged Hitler<\/a><\/em>, by Phillip Hoose
\nJinx’s Fire<\/a><\/em>, by Sage Blackwood
\nMaeve’s Times: In Her Own Words<\/a><\/em>, by Maeve Binchy<\/p>\n

The book I finished just as I reached the Finish Line and so haven’t had time to review:
\nWearing God<\/em>, by Lauren F. Winner<\/p>\n

Books I finished but decided not to review:
\nThe Art of Stillness<\/em>, by Pico Iyer
\nMirror, Mirror On the Wall<\/em>, edited by Kate Bernheimer

2 hours, 30 minutes spent listening to The Scandalous Sisterhood of Prickwillow Place<\/em>, by Julie Berry. 2 CDs completed.<\/p>\n

3 hours, 45 minutes spent writing the reviews and blogging. 2465 words written.<\/p>\n

1 hour spent networking.<\/p>\n

2 hours, 30 minutes spent posting the reviews.<\/p>\n

And I come away wishing I could make all this a priority for the rest of the week! How delightful to spoil myself! Now I’m going to have to take care of some weekend errands I put off and deal with mundane things like getting some sleep. But it was so much fun while it lasted!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
