Yay! In a half-hour I’m going to finish my 48-Hour Book Challenge!<\/p>\n
And when that’s done, I’m going to bed!<\/p>\n
So — I’m going to jump the gun a little and write my Finish Line post now.<\/p>\n
When I finish writing this, I will read until 10:50 pm. But that’s not enough time to finish another book.<\/p>\n
Given that information, here are my stats:<\/p>\n
Yes! I set a new record for time spent reading and reviewing during the 48-Hour Book Challenge. (I knew that living alone was good for something — I confess I even skipped taking a shower this morning. The more time to spend reading.)<\/p>\n
My total was 31 hours and 40 minutes spent reading, reviewing and networking in the last 48 hours. (Okay, since no one else was doing the challenge, “networking” was hanging out on Facebook every now and then as a break. Take that off my totals if you don’t like it! But I think it counts.)
\nThat was broken down as:
\n23 hours reading
\n45 minutes listening to audiobooks
\n1 hour 45 minutes “networking”
\n6 hours 10 minutes blogging\/reviewing<\/p>\n
I read 2095 pages, and finished 8 books, only 4 of which I began during the challenge. I read parts of 18 different books. (I read bits of lots of books as part of my quiet times in the morning.) I wrote reviews of all 8 books that I finished.<\/p>\n
The books I finished were: And I started the time with a vestibular migraine — and am finishing it without one!<\/p>\n And I just had a lovely two days off. I’m going to have to find more ways to put more reading into my life the next three months. Not only is it important for judging the Cybils — It’s a lovely way to spend my time.<\/p>\n I am not sure when I’ll get the reviews posted. I’m afraid that’s a lower priority than getting the books read, but I will try!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Yay! In a half-hour I’m going to finish my 48-Hour Book Challenge!
