Tenth Annual 48 Hour Book Challenge: Starting Line
So it begins. Whenever you start your 48 hour period, sign in with a link to your blog with old, reliable Mr. Linky. Keep track of your time — which includes reading, reviewing, blogging, and connecting (blog reading, tweeting, and general bookish socializing). To keep the Starting Line post at the top of my blog, I won’t publish my personal posts until sometime Saturday evening.
On Sunday, I’ll have a Finish Line post where you can leave the link to your final summary, which should include the amount of time spent on the challenge. Rounding to the quarter hour will do just fine. Winners, prizes and such will be announced on Monday afternoonish. Happy Reading!
That being said, I don't see the sign-in? I checked on multiple browsers, so I don't think the widget was hidden. :/ Or am I missing something? Is the sign-in somewhere else?
It looks like the Linky isn't working, but I'm getting started here: http://storytimesecrets.blogspot.com/2015/06/48-hour-book-challenge-starting-line.html
It's a bit later than I actually started reading (because I figured I'd wait for the broken link to get fixed, and then when I checked again I decided I'd take a break to actually create a new reading blog (because they are useful!) instead of posting to Facebook or pirating one of my old, dormant blogs.
I started reading at 8:10 a.m., Friday, and here's the link to my blog: http://merrilyreading.blogspot.com/
My official start time will be 8:00 this evening (Friday evening), but I was too excited to wait any longer for signing in. Should be a great weekend!! Happy reading all.
I started at 11:30 last night, but fell asleep 15 minutes later. Story of my life. See you at the finish line. Thanks for hosting. http://reflectandrefine.blogspot.com/2015/06/mother-reader-48-hour-book-challenge.html?m=1
I'm getting started at SpecFic Junkie.
