In and around this I blogged, cleaned, cooked, napped, got sunburned, found a teenager who was slacking on his curfew and petted and fed 4 cats!Hopewellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02510172065585770709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21301089.post-11371339761126266252009-06-07T20:04:54.865-04:002009-06-07T20:04:54.865-04:00uh . . . motherreader . . . i accidently forgot to...uh . . . motherreader . . . i accidently forgot to tag my twitters . . . i think i may have skipped over all of the things in parentheses while reading the directions . . . <br /><br />is that really bad? that i forgot, i mean?simply nerdy book reviewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12954327560661067864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21301089.post-81133215492360888612009-06-06T11:06:52.036-04:002009-06-06T11:06:52.036-04:00I was hoping to participate this year, but have to...I was hoping to participate this year, but have to work.

Enjoy.<br /><br />Sheila, sorry you can't play this year, but thanks for the sponsorship. You rock!<br /><br />GBTQ, I've had other big obligations during the weekend before myself, but part of the fun can be working around them. Welcome.<br /><br />SCB, I hear you. I've been reading very little myself lately. I find the two months before school ends as the craziest, busiest time for me. I always look at the 48HBC as the kickoff to a summer mentality. Thanks for playing!<br /><br />MilBrat, so glad you can read with us. I'll be checking in at the participants posts all through the weekend.

I've had my stack of books ready and waiting since just after you announced the challenge -- I'm not interested in qualifying for prizes, I just think this is cool.

I'll be reading. Luckily I have short shifts each day and I can listen to an audiobook in my office (I work at a library, so really reading should count as my job!) This will be my first year doing the challenge and I'm looking forward to it. I'm trying to convince my husband to do it too!GreenBeanTeenQueenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08708155058381407531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21301089.post-26017750447641191372009-06-04T22:09:36.652-04:002009-06-04T22:09:36.652-04:00I thought I was going to be able to participate ag...I thought I was going to be able to participate again, but unfortunately I just have too much to do and can't spare the time. Too bad, because I'd love to spend the weekend doing nothing but reading the delicious looking books I got at BEA. But I'll be following the progress and cheering you guys on. And since I can't participate, I'd like to sponsor you, MotherReader, and donate $1 to Bridget Zinn for every hour you read.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16813084292265103896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21301089.post-44529209690221662862009-06-04T22:00:17.128-04:002009-06-04T22:00:17.128-04:00I'm unfortunately going away for most of the r...I'm unfortunately going away for most of the read-a-thon for a birthday party, wedding and visiting friends. I have All of Friday and until 6 pm Saturday to participate. So I'm using this as an excuse to sit on my but and read all day.
