No Christine Feehan in that group? :-)
No Feehan this time Kathrynn :) I read all juvenile literature so that I could fit in more books within that time. It took me 35 hours and 9 minutes of reading/reviewing to read all those books, but the 48-Hour Book Challenge only comes once a year, so it's worth it. Now, I need a nap!
My goodness! How did you stay awake? Where did this book challenge come from? Not that I would do it, mind you. :-)
It's from a blog I follow: motherreader.com. I participated in it last year as well, but I read chicklit then and only finished 6 books. I didn't stay awake the whole 48 hours (although some people did) - I can't do without at least a little sleep.
