This was my first time participating in the 48 Hour Book Challenge, and it was fun. It’s always nice to have an excuse to read, and being part of a larger challenge was an incentive to blog more frequently.
I might have more to say later, but it’s 2 am and I’m ready to sleep.
Thanks to Mother Reader for hosting, and I hope to do it again next year.
I read Bad Girls Don’t Die too! It was awesome. I’m kind of afraid to watch Supernatural alone though. LOL. Great job, I hope to see you participating again next year!
Well done! And you read some great stuff . . .can’t wait for the reviews.
Woo! Go Team Tricia!
You’re most welcome. Great job in your first 48HBC! You made it over 20 hours, which is no small thing!
Pretty impressive showing, for someone who decided to enter at the last minute, and hoped to get to 12 hours. I guess the love of reading will out, given the opportunity. I’m going to have to read If I Stay one of these days, aren’t I?
wow! that’s impressive!
have you read the book of a thousand days
by hale? i just finished that and it’s a retelling
of a fairytale and i enjoyed it!
how was dessen’s book? i’ve not read any of
hers and plan on going to her signing next weekend.
Thanks, everyone!
Jen – Well, it helps that I didn’t have to work over the weekend, have no kids, and didn’t have anything that I *had* to do. Any other weekend this month, and there’s no way I could read as much. 12 hours might not have been possible. So it was good timing.
Cindy – I did like Book of a Thousand Days. I liked Along for the Ride, too, even though I have (very) mixed feelings about some aspects of it. Which I’ll discuss when I review it. My favorite Sarah Dessen book is Just Listen.
thank you, trisha! i’ve heard great things
from debs 09 interviews mentioning just
listen. def want to pick up that one!
