Third Annual 48 Hour Book Challenge

8th June 2008

posted in book challenge, miscellany, fun |

Mother Reader hosted a 48 hour book challenge this weekend (2008 marks the third annual). It looks like much fun was had by all, so I wanted to recognize some of the participants by linking to their reading summaries (the reviews of their reading choices make for interesting reading too).

Here are a few of the participants (Note: some of these link to the main blogs if the 48 hour challenge wrap-up had not been completed as of time of posting; I may change the links when all the wrap-ups are in):

If I missed your summary, feel free to leave a comment and I’ll add it. As for my own reading, I fear I only got one paltry qualifying book read this weekend (Keeping Score by Linda Sue Park, which I’ll be reviewing in my subsequent post). I read a bunch of picture books too, including an old one that was new to me and was such an absolute hoot I just have to throw it in here–There are Rocks in My Socks Said the Ox to the Fox by Patricia Thomas, illus. by Mordecai Gerstein.

At any rate, congratulations to all of the challenge particpants. I enjoyed reading the reviews, and I’ll surely be picking up some of those books soon.

Update: Here’s a post from Mother Reader about the Winners and the readers (with many more participants than were previously mentioned above).
