I was up at 7:00 a.m. with leg pains that I've had since BEA. I knew that the walking made my legs ache, but adding a five hour bus ride home after all that exercise must have sealed the pain in. It's getting ridiculous. Since I was up, tired or not, I was able to finish Lisa Staff's Double Dog Dare and Loretta Ellsworth's Unforgettable in four and a half hours. Then it was time for an event break for Also-Teen's voice recital. She did a lovely job singing "Baby Mine."
Back home and eating pizza while reading Adam Rex's Cold Cereal and then checking in with this post for a total of two and a half hours. For the next two hours, I'll be starting reviews and doing a little social media time. So, for this first twenty-four hours I have read five books and participated in the 48HBC for twelve hours.
Summary: twelve hours, five books

I am worn out just thinking about all you are in the middle of right now....bravo, Pam, incredible! And thank you for your leadership on this Challenge. I am having such fun getting to participate again!
Ack - super jealous of your Rebecca Stead-ness there. I do not wonder that you were able to stay up and read with those books in your arsenal. :) Happy reading/blogging!
Twelve hours -- I don't think I'll make that on the first day. I hoping to catch up on the second.
You are a reading machine! I'm on my way back from BEA too (on a bus filled to the brim with crazy!) and I feel your (leg) pain. I can't wait to get home and start reading!
Okay... now I'm curious about all the books you've read... can't wait to see what you think!
That sounds like a good start to me, especially coming off a big event like BEA.
I am jealous of your getting to read the new Rebecca Stead book, too!
So far I've barely managed to fit in as much reading time as I normally do in a day, which is very sad. How do these things happen??
I have finished three books, and am nearing the end of Wonder. What a terrific read. You have a few titles above I would like to check out. Thanks for this opportunity to focus on reading. A great way to start the summer.

I can't wait to read Liar and Spy...will you be posting a review?
Happy Birthday, Pam! Our birthdays must be only a week or so apart!
