48 Hour Book Challenge, Part 2: Update
June 9th, 2007 by eisha
First, I forgot to mention why I’m Book Challenging solo. Jules really wanted to participate too, but she has a storytelling gig today. Break a leg, Jules!
Second, the Progress So Far: not great. I kicked this off at midnight, having just watched a movie and had a late dinner with the husband. Including beer. I took a book to bed with me, but fell asleep before I’d actually opened it. An inauspicious beginning, but I tried to catch up this morning. I read Ironside by Holly Black between 9:30 to 12:45, then had to tap out to make lunch for self and husband, eat lunch, drive husband to subway station, and shower.
Score so far: out of 15 hours, I’ve spent 3.25 reading, and have 226 pages under my belt. Not awesome. And I made the mistake of peeking around at other contenders blogs to see how they’re doing. People: have you SEEN how much Little Willow’s read? I knew she was going to be serious competition, but DAMN.
It’s now 3:00. Husband (i.e., distraction) is safely on his way out of town, I’m brewing coffee to make Mexican Cocoa, and I’m about to get back in the ring. Can’t let Team 7-Imp down. Gots ta represent, yo.
Have fun, Jules!
eisha, I’m a nutter.
The beer may not have been the way to go.
But I can understand the temptation.
Yeah, I know. But dinner was taco salad. It really really NEEDS beer.
