Starting Line 2012

"We are about to brave the storm in a skiff made of paper, and how it will end, God only knows." -1776

So, once more into the breach I go with MotherReader's 48 Hour Book Reading Challenge.  This year, however, I do know that I am not going for all 48 hours.  I actually have my dance recital this weekend, so I figure I'll be lucky if I break the 20 hour mark.  Still, I have a stack of books to read (though not as large as I had hoped due to an unfortunate incident of not being able to attend BookExpo this week).

So, I started blogging this at 8:30, and will conclude my reading at 8:30 Sunday morning.

And, go...

Starting with another Sally Watson, as tradition dictates.  Except, I've nearly run out of them!  Oh horrors!  And no new Cat Royal book this year, either.

(Oh, to go back to last year's starting post comment about Backstreet Boys, I was at the dance studio the other night and there were two girls talking about this band N*Sync, who they thought was from the 90s but weren't quite sure.  It's not like anyone had ever heard about them.  Wow, did I feel old at that point!)

Well, you do have to do the dance recital. I loved MotherReader's comments about how if your OWN wedding was this weekend, you might reassess your priorities! Good luck!

I have my son's dance dress rehearsal this afternoon and his recital tomorrow. :-) Luckily I can read during most of the dance rehearsal.

I hope the dancing and the reading both go well!

Have fun with reading and the recital! (And man, your parenthetical makes me feel old and I'm not even 25!)

I sure have a lot of wonderful memories surrounding dance recitals (although they can sure run long some years, can't they?). I think my dad applauded for an hour when the last grandchild had her last dance recital! I hope your son's recital went well!
