48 Hour Book Challenge: Starting Line

This morning begins the tenth annual 48 Hour Book Challenge hosted by Mother Reader. I have never participated before, but decided to give it a try this year, as my to-read pile is out of control and I'm trying to get ahead on reviews so I can schedule them before the new baby comes this Fall. My challenge begins now, at approximately 8:15 a.m. on Friday, so it will end on Sunday morning at 8:15. While I think it would be wonderful to get in 24 hours of reading during this time period, I think that is going to be a stretch with a toddler, so I'm probably looking at a more realistic goal of 18 hours. We'll see how it goes. I don't have any playdates or anything else scheduled today or tomorrow, so perhaps I will read more than I think is possible right now.

I'll be checking in periodically today and tomorrow to report on my progress. Now I'm off to start my first book of the day!

    When I was pregnant with my younger daughter I was so sick that I read the entire Lord of the Rings series. Couldn't muster energy to get other books. It was bleak! You have a much better selection, and hopefully feel much better! And now, my daughters provide food when I am reading, so consider that you are working on future helper!

    It's hard to do anything with a toddler other than follow him/her around and make sure he/she doesn't destroy anything, including him/her.I admire you for participating! Good luck!

    I would take books on walks with my toddlers, because sometimes I couldn't sustain fifteen minutes of interest in an ant hill, but if I had my book I didn't mind standing about while they investigated it. But the books couldn't be TOO good, because I had to keep an eye out while reading. Luckily I never did come home without them :-)
