48hbcIt is 11 pm here and I’m beginning my 48hours book challenge! A complete weekend spent reading, reading and, guess what, reading!

You can find all the rules and other participants at http://www.motherreader.com/

Things I won’t do for this challenge :

  • Skip sleeping completely
  • Skip eating
  • Skip showering
  • Skip caffeinating
  • Skip feeding the cat
  • Ignore the cat
  • Play the computer
  • Watch TV and movies
  • Go to the groceries store
  • Have any kind of social contact with “real” people (except for the Man)

Things I will do for this challenge :

  • Drink coffee
  • Read
  • Pet the cat while reading
  • Book-Blogging
  • Visit book blogs
  • Drink coffee
  • Read some more!
  • Push away the cat that’s trying to sit in the book
  • Read
  • Drink coffee
  • Repeat!

I will finish reading two really great books, Signora Da Vinci and Best Intentions. I’m halfway through for both and it will be really easy fun to just sit and read them. I’m not sure what else I’ll be reading; we’ll see what I’m in the mood for! Mainly, I’ll just stay inside or at the coffee shop and read non-stop, all the while the Man in the House will be formatting my computer for me. 🙂 Life is good!

Anyone else doing this? If so, leave me a note so I can go and cheer you up now and then! 😀

  1. The dog thinks the challenge is a GREAT idea, since I spent five hours reading and rubbing her tummy. Hope that your cat is as helpful. Someday, science will prove that caffeine is good for us. Good luck with the challenge!

    • For now my cat has been either sleeping or trying to run interference between the book and I; but still, he’s been lucky and got lots of petting! 🙂 Thanks for passing by, I’ll pass by your place later too! Now I’m off to bed!
