Break
1:30 - 2:30 spent enjoying lime-salted chips and guacamole, wine, and blog interactions. Good break, but time to get back to it.
Progress
Yesterday, I began reading at 1:00 pm. I've been jumping back and forth between reading and listening to Chelsea Handler's My Horizontal Life.
I ended my marathon at about 5:30 last night and picked up again at 7:00 this morning. I took a half hour break to shower. That leaves my total reading/listening time at 10 hours and 30 minutes. Total pages read are as follows:
Breaking Dawn pp. 625-754 (finished) 129 pages read
The Red Pyramid pp. 70-104 34 pages read
Breakfast of Champions pp. 67-303 (finished) 236 pages read
TOTAL: My Horizontal Life (4 cds, 1.2 hours each) 4.8 hours
399 pages in 5.7 hours

48 HBC Update #1
It's 6:30 and I'm taking a break. I'm having a hard time getting into this marathon of reading today. I think it's partly because I just finished post planning this week, and I'm so exhausted, I'm ready for a mental vacation.
I finished Breaking Dawn. It was bleh.
I've been listening to Chelsea Handler's audiobook My Horizontal Life, and while it started off making me feel uncomfortable to hear a first grader cuss, I have had a few chuckles listening to it. I am also reading The Red Pyramid by Rick Riordan. I'm 100+ pages in, but I'm not fully digging it yet.
I wish I could share more enthusiasm, but I think what I need is a good jog on the eliptical.
Later.
Oh, and if you're wondering about Unwind, I finished that this morning before my trip to the library so it doesn't count toward the challenge.

Just Snuck Up on Me
Okay, MotherReader's 48 Hour Book Challenge officially begins in about two minutes. I completely forgot it was this weekend. I have a 9:30 meeting this morning, so unless I can't get to the library before, I will begin after that. What do I plan to read?
Well, first I need to finish Unwind, Breaking Dawn, and perhaps Red Pyramid. I have some books on hold from the library, but I also have stacks here at home. I plan to do more reading than blogging, but I know already I will not go a complete 48 hours reading non-stop. I'm not even sure anyone can. There were four last year who claimed they did, but I don't believe them.
Last year, I read a total of just over 21 hours. This year, I'll be sure to have an audiobook queued and ready for bathroom and snack breaks.
Wish me luck!
