Sunday Afternoon, 1:40 p.m. Well, I made it maybe another 30 minutes after I posted last night, and while I got in a few hours this morning, church, lunch, and now university graduation and dinner out tonight will be eating into my reading time.  I am tempted to sneak a book into the arena, but I think people would notice…In an attempt to stay awake last night, I started Tahoe Heat by Todd Borg.  I love this series, and this one is just as good as the others.  If you like p.i.’s with intelligence and humor and an appreciation for art and Great Danes, you should check out this under appreciated series.  I also got further into Another Pan, which is getting creepier and creepier as it goes.  Teens will love it.  Time read:  10 hours 40 minutes.  Pages read: 636 Time networking: 1 hr 10 minutes

Saturday Evening, 11: 35 p.m. In spite of the double strength iced coffee and snacks, fading fast.  Past experience tells me if I push through, I’ll be good for a few more hours.  Made it about 1/3 of the way through Another Pan.  I enjoyed Another Faust, but this seems to be a stronger, better book in many ways, especially character development-wise.  I see elements from the original but they feel both modern and creepy at the same time. Time read:  8 hours 10 minutes.  Pages read: 454 Time networking: 50 minutes

Saturday Evening, 9:25 p.m. Finally have minute to stop and update my progress.  Surprised how much reading I fit in between the events of my day.  The dribs and drabs, minutes here and there added up.  I finished one book, Twice a Spy by Keith Thomson, the sequel to one of my favorite books from last year, Once a Spy, and I am happy to say that Thomson doesn’t suffer from a sophomore curse.  I read a few chapters of Another Pan by Daniel and Dina Nayeri, and listened to 100 minutes of Leverage by Joshua Cohen.  Time read:  6 hours 25 minutes.  Pages read: 332 Time networking: 25 minutes

Saturday Morning, 7:00 a.m. I can’t believe that it has been a whole year since the last 48 Hour Book Challenge.   I have been looking forward to this for several weeks, although it will be a challenge to get my hours in, as I have to work today, attend graduation tomorrow, as well as spend time with my in-laws who are visiting from Texas.

My goal this year is to have fun, read a variety of books, and try to network more.  There was a period of time earlier this year when it seemed like I wasn’t finishing any book I started or blogging.  So I am just excited to be back in the game.

If you want to participate, it isn’t too late to get in on the action.  More information here.  The twitter hash tag for the challenge is #48hbc, if anyone else wants to follow along, and should be updates from various readers at the Mother Reader blog.
