I waffled back and forth and over and under about whether or not to join in on Mother Reader’s 48-Hour Book Challenge. I can’t really participate for 48 hours during the time of the challenge, but I decided to start at 12:30 today, June 5th and finish on Monday morning for my own 43 1/2 hour challenge.
My first book is Countdown by Deborah Wiles, a review book kindly sent to me by the publicist working with Scholastic.
“Countdown is the first in a new trilogy of “documentary novels†set in the 1960s- a fascinating historical documentary in a unique style and format. Filled with photos, news clippings, and songs of the era, this novel tells the story of Franny Chapman, an eleven-year-old girl living in Washington, DC, set against the backdrop of one of the most politically and culturally defining periods in history.”

There’s something every year… I don’t even worry about it anymore, just decide to do as much as I can and have fun.
Hi! Just wanted to say hello and good luck with the 48 hbc! I’m also taking part and almost finished one book. Enjoy the challenge! http://leeswammes.wordpress.com
Dear Semicolon,
Good luck on your 48 Hour Challenge! I can’t participate for a full 48 hours either but I’m having fun. Hope you are too. You have one of the best blogs out there. Keep up the good work and many blessings.
Woo – glad you can join us, Sherry! I really enjoyed COUNTDOWN – hope you do, too! Happy reading!
Often I can’t even block off a working 48 hour period. And even when I can – like this year – there are still lots of things to interfere. Like sleeping. I kind of like sleeping.
