It’s that time of year! Time for the 48 Hour Book Challenge. Or as it’s known at my house, the “time to clear off the TBR stacks” or “GO AWAY, MOMMY’S READING” time. Either way, Ms. Yingling has taken over the reins from Mother Reader and the party is still happening. There are prizes! There’s fun! And in the next 2 days I will be spamming you (hopefully) with LOTS of reviews. All the instructions are here, if you want to join in the fun.
The stack I’m working from is this:
Unless I get tired of those. Then I’ll tackle this stack:
Which might be a better stack to start from…
Either way, I’m aiming for 24 hours, and as I’ve done the past couple of years, I’ll donate $1 per hour (or $25, whichever is greater) to RIF when I’m done.
And now… I’m off to go read!



I'M READING THE 5TH WAVE RIGHT NOW AND IT IS AWESOME! That is all. Happy reading. 😉

Those are some intimidating stacks of books! I've got City of Ash in my list, and thought Blankets was wonderful.

Wow. That's…a lot of books. You could just close your eyes and choose one at random. It'd be like picking a raffle prize winner.

wouldn't it be nice if we could go borrow from each other's pictures in real life? The books on your stack look better then the books on my stack, probably just because I can't have them!

Now that would be a fun challenge, guys. “Pick My Next Book!” Then we would have to review it honestly. Might get some interesting reviews between people with dissimilar tastes.
Have fun and good luck, Melissa!
