#48hbc Final Summary

08 June 2009


Reading Corner!


My Reading Center, along with a "You can do it! It's only 48 hours!" poster. After every hour done, I add a star on the poster.


* As I was networking/ bathing/ eating etc, I was listening to the audiobook.
** Including length of Airman if in paperback, and 301 pages of Shelf Discovery.

  1. Audio books are fun! I started listening to them a few weeks ago and was surprised that I liked them. I thought I'd hate it since I imagine the character's looks and voices all up here *points to her head* and it's all to my taste. :) I actually listened to an audio version of Just Listen. Surprisingly good.

  7. Well done. You made it through the challenge. I've never tried an audiobook. Hopefully, you'll want to read sometime (although you might want to give your brain/eyes a rest for a while).

  8. OMG you did the whole 48 hours? I am jealous. I guess having a child in the house I couldn't do it. Congrats on reading the whole time you rocked it.

  10. 48 hours without stopping for anything? Isn't that kinda impossible?

    Glad you enjoyed yourself!

  11. Wow! Impressive. I read and blogged 20 hours out of the 48, leaving time for sleeping and a few other things I needed to do. I finished 2 books. You did a great job. You didn't sleep at all?

  14. Congrats! I too multi-tasked things with an audiobook while I was at work and getting ready for work. It helped a lot and helped give my eyes a break.:) I love your poster idea!

  20. Your stats are impressive! I feel silly that audio books didn't occur to me. I still wouldn't have been able to go the entire 48 though! You're amazing.

  24. Official congratulations for being a winner of the 48 Hour Book Challenge! Please email me with your address and the types of books you'd prefer. With so many winners tied for first place, I'm not sure what I'm going to do with the Catching Fire ARC, so if this isn't a book that you're excited about, please let me know that too. I may have some other ideas since you're so far away.

    I could never stay up for that long, I crash after about 34 hours (that's my record for staying up with no sleep)
