\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

My 48-Hour Book Challenge is done, and my showing wasn’t as good as other times — too much sleeping and exceptions. And the 3000-piece puzzle on my table pulled me into more listening time than reading time, which isn’t nearly as efficient.<\/p>\n

However — I did have a lovely time this weekend doing lots of reading! I really like the two audiobooks I’ve listened to this weekend — A Comb of Wishes<\/a><\/em> (finished and reviewed) and These Wicked Walls<\/em> (still a couple hours to go), so even if it wasn’t as efficient as reading, I enjoyed my time.<\/p>\n

I did review all four books I finished (only four!), but haven’t gotten all the reviews posted yet. I did write two other reviews and have four more reviews I want to write, which I may do tonight. When it came to the end and I saw I hadn’t gotten much reading done, I wanted to do more of that.<\/p>\n

Here are my stats for the last 48 hours:<\/p>\n

8 hours, 10 minutes Reading
\n11 hours, 15 minutes Listening (I told you that puzzle snagged me.)
\n2 hours, 15 minutes writing reviews
\n50 minutes other blogging
\n2 hours, 15 minutes posting reviews (mostly while listening to audiobooks, not counted in above)<\/p>\n

It all adds up to 24 hours, 45 minutes spent on books in the last 48 hours.<\/p>\n

I finished 4 books, 2 of them from start to finish, but read parts of 13 books. I have several books I like to read a chapter per day, and worked on those. I read 719 pages in that time, which doesn’t count the audiobooks. I wrote 5 book reviews, including 3 of the books I finished. (I intentionally didn’t review one of the books. I enjoyed it, but would have pointed out too many flaws in a review — I think it’s better to just be quiet about it.) I wrote 2,492 words, posted 2 reviews on my website and 1 on the blog only. I posted 2 blog posts about ALA Annual Conference that were already written.<\/p>\n

And there are much worse ways to spend a weekend! At this point, I may not be able to go to sleep without finishing up Within These Wicked Walls<\/em>. And the puzzle is still calling!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
