Every year MotherReader hosts her 48-Hour Book Challenge. Every year I think, “That sounds like so much fun!” And then I think, “But it’s graduation weekend. Again.” (And lest you think that means two hours at one ceremony, think again. I will be attending 5 separate events over the course of the weekend. We love us some pomp and circumstance.)
But! This year, I’m going to do it anyway, because… because I’m insane, probably. And because I met so many lovely bloggers at the conference and now I want to bond with you online some more. And because my Goodreads list is getting completely out of hand. And because why the hell not?
I’m starting Saturday morning at 7 a.m. and ending 48 hours later on Monday morning. It is ON.

Thanks for the encouragement, everybody! It certainly helps that it’s beautiful sunny weather for reading outside in. :)
That sounds so fun! I’m going none-stop Sunday though so I won’t be able to get in 48 hours, but noted for next year! Good luck!
Next year I’ll have to deal with graduation. Luckily, my children go to a big high school, so maybe they won’t notice if I read through commencement… good luck!
Honestly, one of my worst years for doing the 48HBC personally was the year I had nothing to do. Without something to work around, I was less inspired when I did have time. No problem with that this year with a Girl Scout event smack in the middle of my Saturday. But hey, maybe I’ll stay up all night after it – you never know. Thanks for playing!
Good for you! I hope it goes well.
Yay! Glad you are coming along for the ride. I thought I had it bad, working all day today and tomorrow, church and graduation (part of my job) Sunday, in-laws visiting, and regular weekend errands and choirs…I will be starting my reading tomorrow.
