I&#8217;m having a lot of fun.  So far, I wish I could do this longer than 48 hours, because I&#8217;m just not getting as many books read as I had hoped to.  <\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m ending up spending almost half my time blogging, but I still have only reviewed the two books I finished reading.  Still, all four of my related blogs are now upgraded and integrated with the look of my main site.  If I hadn&#8217;t set aside the weekend for reading and blogging, I doubt that would have happened for months!  So I&#8217;m excited about that and glad for this excuse to spend time on my blogs.<\/p>\n<p>Here are my stats at the halfway point:<\/p>\n<p>Total time spent:  11 1\/2 hours<\/p>\n<p>Time reading:  6 hours<br \/>\nTime blogging:  5 1\/2 hours<br \/>\nTime networking: None yet  (I want to do that!)<\/p>\n<p>Pages read: 646<br \/>\nBooks finished:  2<br \/>\nBooks reviewed:  2<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m not sure if I can do as much in the next 24 hours, since I will be going to church in the morning.  However, today a big chunk came away from taking a nap and doing all the laundry.  So maybe I can do as well.  Almost half my time on it seems pretty good!  \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>I do have to take my son to a meeting for a group project (making a Rube Goldberg machine), which should give me a chance to finish listening to the audiobook of <em>Octavian Nothing, Volume I<\/em>.  I&#8217;m on the last disc, and it&#8217;s an exciting part.  That&#8217;s what I don&#8217;t like about listening to audiobooks in the car!<\/p>\n<p>Read on!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So, it&#8217;s 10:30 on Saturday night, and I&#8217;ve come halfway through the 48-Hour Book Challenge.
