and keep reading. But there's a house rental I need to call about FIRST THING tomorrow, asking if I can schedule a viewing (ideally before someone else snaps it up), and Toddler will want care and attention and then there's another viewing appointment in the afternoon...I didn't make it up to even 12 hours, sadly. Besides the things I mentioned in my starting post, the weekend was full of pain -- the D&C I had two months ago after my miscarriage seems to have caused complications, and OW. This... would be to my advantage, Challenge-wise, as it gave me a good reason to just lie on the couch and read. But it also messed up my sleep -- not sleeping at times in the night when I was trying to, sleeping on the couch during the day when I wanted to read. So it goes.
At any rate, I did more than last year, and I had fun. Just read one book, Writing the Other
, but I thoroughly enjoyed gobbling it up. And reading aloud many parts of it to my sister, and discussing them. (Which I counted in my time, part of why I read it as slowly as I did -- I figure if reading aloud to kids counts, this should too?)I read a Kindle version, but according to Amazon the paperback edition is 122 pages. So yes, the 4 1/2 hours I spent reading it was definitely slow!
My total time was 7 hours 45 minutes. 4 1/2 hours reading, 1 1/2 hours on my starting line post (mixture of how blogging takes longer than you think, plus I'm just generally slow at things), 45 minutes on this one (yeah, see above), and 1 hour networking -- replying to comments on my blog, linking to my blog, and browsing and commenting on other people's blogs!
Didn't review anything this year. Will continue to read and review the books I mentioned in my starting post list, just not officially as a part of the Challenge. Mmm.
So, for a more concise summary of 48hbc stats:
Total hours: 7 hours 45 minutes
Books read: 1
Pages read: 122
Hours reading: 4 hours 30 minutes
Hours blogging: 2 hours 15 minutes
Hours networking: 1 hour

Glad you could participate! I'm sorry that you're having trouble sleeping due to health issues. I hope that you feel better soon.
Nice job with all that you have going on. I hope you get to the other titles this summer.
Thanks! I think I need to see a doctor, and my husband recently switched jobs, so I'm waiting for benefits to kick in... but anyway. Thanks! I will definitely keep reading. :)
