48HBC: Finish Line!

So I've finished my 48 Hour Book Challenge. It was a fun weekend and I can't believe I worked 8 hours during it and still managed to read as much as I did. (I was an excellent multi-tasker, I had an audiobook at work!:)

Here's my totals:

Hours Read: 30 hrs. 6 min.
Social Time: 3 hrs. 35 min.
Pages Read: 1573
Books Finished: 6- Lovestruck Summer, Scott Pilgrim's Precious Little Life, Forget Me Not, Something, Maybe, Something Borrowed (part on audio, rest read), Wings
Books Halfway through: 1-Lament
I also started three books, but they weren't what I was in the mood for, so I will come back and finish these: 3-Being Nikki, Twenty Boy Summer, Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Last Straw

I really enjoyed the challenge and I needed a weekend to just sit and do nothing but read. It really got me motivated! Plus, I've been in such a reading slump for the past few weeks that reading non-stop really helped me find some great reads!

I think my favorite book out of the ones I read is Something, Maybe by Elizabeth Scott followed closely by Lovestruck Summer. They are perfect summer reads! I'm also really glad I finally read Something Borrowed and am planning to pick up the rest of Emily Giffin's books.

Thank you to my husband and my dog who let me read all weekend! We're going to a bring yoru dog day to the baseball park this evening so I'm looking forward to that.

Good luck to everyone else doing the challenge-you can do it!!!

  3. Yep, I did sleep-not a lot on the first night but I went to bed at 3:30 last night-I was too tired! But if I didn't have to work I would have tried to stay up the whole time.

13 District Mockingjay Tour: District 4

Hello and welcome to District Four. I'm sorry that Finnick isn't here to be your host. I know as a member of District Four I should be cheering for my own tribute, but after watching the last two Hunger Games play out I have fallen in love with Peeta Mellark! Why do I love Peeta? He's smart, he's funny, and he's charming. He stands up for what he believes, he's loyal and he's not afraid to do what's right. He's sensitive and caring but can also be strong and kick butt. He fights for Katniss and with Katniss. Peeta is a great diplomat and he knows how to bring people together. He can also be sneaky to get what he wants. Plus, did I mention he can bake? And he's hot!! But it's not just me! We have an underground club of sorts here in District Four-Seafaring Librarians for Peeta! Here's what some of our members had to say about their love for Peeta: - Team Peeta!! I love their relationship because they balance each other perfectly. Where
