This is officially the seventh annual 48 Hour Book Challenge but my fourth year participating. This year it happens to fall on a busy weekend for me. In previous years I had been freshly finished with the school year and in need of serious downtime, so it was easy for me to wipe my schedule clean for a weekend to stay home and read. This year I am in the MLIS program at FSU and have responsibilities that require me to work on the weekends, and there are some personal engagements on the calendar that I can't ignore. That being said, I will do my best to read as often as I can in between everything else. My goal will be 15 hours, but that may be reaching. While my time may be limited, I have no shortage of books to read. Here are some possibilities:
From the library -
Millicent Min, Girl Genius by Lisa Yee
Babymouse, Queen of the World! by Jennifer L. Holm and Matthew Holm

That's a beautifully balanced list! I hope the reading of them goes well. (and I think it is maybe time to offer Watership Down to my oldest--thanks for the reminder!)
ReplyDeleteGreat list! Watership Down is my favorite book. Good luck.
