Thanks for a great weekend, Pam. Thanks to a reliable babysitter and an obliging spouse, I was able to get in much more time than I had originally hoped. It feels really good!

Thanks as always for hosting this, Pam. Looking forward to reading more people's updates, including yours!

I had a great time again! Thanks for hosting!

No matter what I do, I always feel a little woozy when I finish! Hope that there are a lot of people who complete the challenge. Thanks for hosting.

Thank you for hosting! I had a great time.

Thank you so much for hosting! It was a wonderful weekend.

Lots of thanks from me too! I hope your last bit of reading is going well!

I had a great time as always. Thanks so much!

Thank you for hosting and pledging a dollar for everyone who finishes. This was a great experience and I hope to participate next year :)

Thank you for a wonderful weekend!

Thanks for hosting! Now I know what all the fuss is about--will definitely try to participate next year if I can.

Thanks for a great weekend, Pam! It was fabulous, as always!

Such a great event! I was thrilled to do this for the first time and though I didn't log as much time as I hoped, it was still an awesome experience.

It was a great weekend. Thanks for hosting this for another year.

Thanks for hosting. I enjoyed this event, and look forward to trying to improve my participation next year (and purchase better snacks!).

Phew! I made it! I'll add my vote of thanks for a fun weekend.

I did it! Am thrilled. Timing was great for me this year and the family was pulling for me. Thanks for all your hard work, Pam!

Thanks again, Pam! So much fun to participate again! Funniest part this year was when I tried to listen to an audiobook while driving my son and his date to Prom -- and it ended up being on a lesbian sex scene! Maybe we should be allowed to substitute a different audiobook in such a case? I decided that was where I draw the line on that audiobook! We did all think it was funny, though.

Thanks again, Pam! My sons actually joined in with me this year, which made things even more fun. They were very keen on staying up late to read, but then tended to get distracted by fun stuff during the day, especially since I was too busy reading to kick them outside as much as usual.

But we all made our goals, and now I just have to conquer your capcha.

Twas fun! So glad to have made a slight dent in my languishing book pile.

Thanks so much for hosting the challenge! It was a lot of fun, and I can't wait to participate again next year!

Much better reading selection this year, just not enough time to sit and enjoy!

I failed miserably. Came down with a bug yesterday and did not read at all. This one was a fail for me. I hope to do better next year. Thanks for hosting!

Thank you so much for hosting. As always, it has pulled me out of my comfort zone in a very good way.

Thanks for the idea of donating to RIF. Such as great cause...

All done! I think I need to watch some mindless TV or something . . .

Thank you as always for hosting, and thanks for the idea of donating to RIF.

My 48-hour challenge went bust! I ended up in bed with a headache for most of the weekend. I hope the rest of you had a better reading weekend than I did, and maybe I'll try again next year.

I finished at 7 a.m. this morning but have yet to have time to do my wrap up post. Once again I really enjoyed the challenge.

This is so much fun! Thank you for hosting this great event. I want to do more challenges like this one.

So much fun this challenge. I ended up with 18 hours and will need to check how far I got in my book.
Will adjust my totals tonight. Where do we send our donation to RIF?

Hi Pam,

What a fun time again this year! I read a total of 20 hours over 3 days -- have a hard time staying within the 48 hour parameter. :)

I didn't donate yet to RIF, but would be glad to.

Thanks again for hosting the 48HBC!! It is such a great way to kick off my summer reading!

Jone and Karen (and anyone else who needs to know), you can make your donation directly to RIF through their site - http://www.rif.org

I proposed the RIF as a pledge per hour, but left the amount to each person's comfort zone looking at $.50 an hour or more. Whatever works.

BookMoot--10.5 hours
