24 Hour (ish) Check In

6:30 p.m. EST was the 24 hour mark for my participation in Mother Reader's 48 Hour Book Challenge.  I haven't knocked off as many books I had hoped by now but will continue to plug away.  I finished Each Little Bird That Sings by Deborah Wiles, Alive in the Killing Fields: Surviving the Khmer Rouge Genocide by Nawuth Keat and Martha E. Kendall, and The Blue Shoe: A Tale of Thievery, Villainy, Sorcery, and Shoes by Roderick Towney.   I also listened to one CD of The Indigo Notebook by Laura Resau while running some errands today. 

So here are my stats so far:
Time started:  6:30 p.m. Friday
Time now: 7:41 p.m. Saturday
Total pages read:  1,056 (listened to 1 CD)
Time spent reading 15 hours
Time spent blogging/commenting: 2 hours 30 minutes
Books read: 5
Currently reading:  The Birthday Ball by Lois Lowry
On deck:  As Easy as Falling Off the Face of the Earth by Lynne Rae Perkins

  1. Just saw that you're a 4th/5th grade teacher. You'll have to check out my reading list for the challenge which were all books about 11 or 12 yr olds. Happy reading!
