\"\"<\/a>Huzzah! It’s time for my 48-Hour Book Challenge!<\/p>\n

The goal: To take a period of 48 Hours and spend as much time as possible Reading and Reviewing. My participation in these started years ago because of Mother Reader<\/a>, and it’s her logo I’m using. I’m much less organized and don’t have prizes and haven’t gotten hundreds of other bloggers to sign up — but I’m doing it!<\/p>\n

I just looked back at my own blog posts in the 48-Hour Book Challenge category<\/a>, and the first year I did one was 2009<\/a>. Wow!<\/p>\n

This year, I’m planning to spend a bigger proportion of time writing reviews and posting reviews than I usually do, because I currently have 113 reviews waiting to be posted, and if I read and review more books, I’ll just get farther behind.<\/p>\n

Also, because I’m starting a Personal Spiritual Retreat at the same time, I’m hoping to read more nonfiction than I usually do. It’s not quite as fun as binge-reading fiction, but I’d like to do some thinking and reflection during this time, too.<\/p>\n

Oh, and it’s always fun to include a video of my personal 48-Hour Book Challenge Theme Song!<\/p>\n
