48h Book Challenge 2011 : Finish Line!

48h Book Challenge 2011 : Finish Line!

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...

48h Book Challenge 2011 : I’m in!

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! You can find all the rules and other participants at http://www.motherreader.com/, and sign up for the...

48h Book Challenge – The Finish Line!

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...

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...
