48 Hour Book ChallengeYou’ve read the rules. You’ve cleared your schedule — as much as possible. You’ve stacked your books and stocked your power snacks. Let’s rock and read.

When you start your reading, leave a comment on this post with your blog name. If it’s unclear from your profile, also leave the address. Don’t make me search for you.

On Monday morning, I’ll have a finish line post where you can leave the link to your final summary page.

READY, STEADY, GO!

  20. I just posted on my LJ that I'm starting (though it's so late and I'm so exhausted now that I'll really just be reading the first book while brushing my teeth and then collapsing). (Using OpenID sign-in to get the LJ address showing up - hope it will work, but I'll re-comment if necessary!)
