The end has come and I feel slightly disappointed; I didn’t do as good as I had hoped to. I had been excited to join, but felt weirdly unable to concentrate on my reading or to pick a book. I started many that I put back in the pile, I wasn’t sure what I was looking for. On top of that, I had an annoying headache all Sunday morning and afternoon, so I didn’t do much reading until the evening. But you know, life happens and...

It’s back! And I’m in again! I wasn’t sure I would join this year, and I will probably to this even more casually than the two previous years, but I’m glad I can take this weekend to read, read, and read – especially since I haven’t been able to join Dewey’s read-a-thon for the last four times!

Wouh! It’s the end already!

At 8 pm tonight I started reading for the 48h Book challenge! I’m so excited to do it again this year, especially since I haven’t been able to join the fun for the last two Read-a-thons. If you want to join the fun too, it’s not too late! You can find all the rules and other participants at http://www.motherreader.com/ Last year, I read 26h20 and finished 6 books for 1377 pages, two of which I had started reading before the...

I did it! I’m going through the finish line, finally! There are a few minutes left, but I’ll stop now to blog a little, thank you very much! It was hard, that 48 hours thing. Even with sleep, I found it harder than the 24 hours without sleep. Today, my headache was gone, but I found myself distracted by any noise or movement around me. Except for food and sleep, I did almost nothing but read today, and yet it seemed I was making my...

It’s 10h30 here and, in 30 minutes from now, I’ll have done half of my way through this challenge! Yippee! I haven’t read as much as I wished, but it’s not too bad either. Right now I’m making my way through Looking for Alaska and so far, I love it! My headache isn’t completely gone yet, though, and I hate that, but I drink coffee and it helps (why is that, by the way? Is it just me, or does caffeine helps...

It is 1h40 pm here, which means I’m in my 15th hour. I just finished reading The Foretelling by Alice Hoffman, which was really beautiful, and I think I’ll start reading Fade by Lisa McMann now.
