It’s 8 am CST (or is it daylight savings, I never can remember), and I’m officially participating in Mother Reader’s 48-hour Book Challenge, starting now, whatever kind of time it is. I don’t have time for this challenge. I shouldn’t neglect my family to do it. I already have too many projects going.
Oh, well.
Here’s my stack of books to read from. I need to read most of these for:
1) school next year OR
2) reviewing I’ve been asked to do OR
3) some other reason that I can’t remember. (Did I tell the world on this blog that I’m losing my short and long term memory?)
I’m planning to read these in whatever order I choose, but I’m starting with one that’s not in the stack: The Astonishing Life of Octavian Nothing, Traitor to the Nation: Volume 2, Kingdom on the Waves by M.T. Anderson. I’ve actually already started reading the second volume of Octavian’s rather unusual life story, and I’m intrigued and awestruck. How does Mr. Anderson think up this stuff and write it in the English language of Ben Franklin himself?
I’ll get back to you later with more on Octavian Nothing –and what I can remember of the other books I manage to read in the next 48 hours.

That is quite the ambitious pile of books on your nightstand! Good luck with the readathon. I am giving serious thought to participating in the event tomorrow to catch up on some great YA titles.
Keep us posted on your progress
All the best! 😀 😀 😀
Best wishes on this ambitious project! I wish I could join in! ; )
Good luck Sherry – loved seeing the stack of books. I’m joining in too later tonight and cannot wait!
You are brave to include Octavian in your reading. I’m going lighter, and faster reads. But a lot are on my Really Should Read This list.
I would love love to do this sometime, but I just don’t think I can. Of course, if I started on a Friday at 8am, that might work better. Maybe next time.
I received the Ark, the Reed and the Cloud or whatever, but Amanda never finished it and once it was out of my pile I forgot it. I’ll be looking for the review of it.
MotherReader has a good point about picking lighter shorter reads. I’ll remember that if I ever have an undertaking such as this.
I really tried to talk myself into throwing responsibilities to the wind and participating in this, but I’ve managed to refrain. Sort of. I’m still probably going to read like crazy this weekend even though there are other projects that need my attention. I’ve been good this week, I deserve some quality me time.
