Final Update

Unfortunately the internet was down pretty much all weekend for me
(lots of heavy thunderstorms), so I couldn't update.

On Friday night/Saturday morning I continued to read until 4:30am (did I mention I have a dog that refuses to allow me to sleep, pee, or really do anything that involves leaving his side during a thunderstorm?). So total time reading on Friday was 10 hours and 15 min. During that time I completed A Northern Light and The Lost Summer of Louisa May Alcott. Rating for Louisa May Alcott is 7.5/10

Saturday was a busy day for me as I had a get together to attend that took up the late afternoon and evening. Plus my husband came home. I only read a total of 30min of Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter before bed. 10hrs 45min total.

Today is my husband's birthday and I read from 10-12 while he played his computer game. I haven't finished Abe Lincoln, which I would like to do tonight after Mike goes to bed. I did exceed my goal of 12 hours by 45min.

48 Hour Challenge Update 1

6 hours and 10min in and one book down (380 pages). I give A Northern Light an 8/10.
I'm going to spend the next 20min checking out some blogs before I move on to The Lost Summer of Louisa May Alcott.

Lots of luck to my fellow challengers, and Happy Reading!

48 Hour Reading Challenge

The 48 hour Reading Challenge is hosted by Mother Reader (click to link to her blog for info. Here are the basic rules from her site:

The weekend is June 4–6, 2010. Read and blog for any 48-hour period within the Friday-to-Monday-morning window. Start no sooner than 7:00 a.m. on Friday the fourth and end no later than 7:00 a.m. Monday the seventh. So, go from 7:00 p.m. Friday to 7:00 p.m. on Sunday... or maybe 7:00 a.m. Saturday to 7:00 a.m. Monday works better for you. But the 48 hours do need to be in a row. That said, during that 48-hour period you may still have gaps of time in which you can’t read, and that’s fine

I'm mostly doing this challenge as a lark since my husband is off camping tonight. I have a lot going on this weekend (party, yard work, husband's birthday, needy dogs) but I am shooting to log 12 hours or more. I want to try it out in hopes next time around I can devote more time and incorporate the charitable part of the challenge.

My official start time is 5:30 EDT this evening. I'm not sure how much I'll be blogging during the weekend but I hope to at least pop in and update with what I am reading and the rating of the book I finished. I will save my reviews for later this week.
Right now I'm reading A Northern Light by Jennifer Donnelly
