This weekend is the first time ever that I think I can actually participate wholeheartedly in the annual June 48-hour Book Challenge sponsored by Mother Reader—because most of my family is out of town, and I’m feeling in a particularly bookish mood. So, starting now at 2:00 PM CST, I’m going to read . . . and review . . . and blog . . . and check out other people’s reading at their blogs.
I don’t have any snacks laid in or any special books chosen to read, but I’m aiming for at least 24 hours of reading and writing and possibly five or six or even up to ten books read by the end of the weekend. (There may also be an emergency snacks and munchies trip to the grocery store involved in this reading weekend sometime.) You’re invited to come along if you can, and if not you should check out the blogs of those who are reading this weekend. You might get some ideas for your own personal reading vacation whenever you want to schedule it.
This is the first weekend I’ve had a conflict, but I’ll do what I can. I really look forward most years for the opportunity to get really caught up with books!
the family being away is always helpful….I hope the reading goes well for you!
Oh, that would be so lovely. It is not possible for me just now, but hopefully one day I can participate.
Welcome to the 48 HBC! It’s a lot of fun. This year, my wife and daughter are out of town, so I have a lot more time to participate as well. Good luck and enjoy!!
