48 Hour Book Challenge Finish Line

So at 9:35 PM, the 48 Hour Book Challenge ended for me. I originally set a goal of 20 hours and provided a list of the books I planned to read.

I fell 14 hours short and did not finish any of the books I planned to read. I did however finish one book and read from two others.

I started the challenge with Zetta Elliott's A Wish After Midnight. I read 56 pages before I decided to put it away. I felt myself rushing so that I could reach my goal, and A Wish After Midnight is not a book you want to rush through. I enjoyed what I read so much that I wanted to save it for after the challenge so I could take my time while reading it.

Today I moved onto I Can't Keep My Own Secrets: Six-Word Memoirs By Teens Famous and Obscure. I LOVED this one and it was the perfect book to push me through the challenge.

I then began Maus by Art Spiegelman. This is the first graphic novel I've ever read (I checked one out of the library before, but never got around to reading it). I only read 73 pages before my time ran out, but I will be finishing this one tonight.

I'm disappointed with my numbers for the challenge (though I always hate numbers), but the challenge has excited me, and I will make more time for reading because I feel like I have been missing out on some good material during my hiatus. That said, expect to be hearing more from me very soon!

Time Spent Reading: 5 Hours
