Finish Line

27 books
6479 pages
31 hours

It's a weird thing to do this challenge.
One book after the next.
Liberating and indulgent, sure.
But also gluttonous and shallow.

There's not time to savor the story a while.
Or to recall a particular passage or phrase.
Or to wipe away a tear.
Or to seek out someone to read a piece aloud to.

I want to talk more about all of the books I read for the challenge -
but now is not the time,
as time is up.

48 hours goes by very quickly.

Too many books, too little time.

Your brain must be fried!! I couldn't have read that many even if I didn't sleep.

there will be new titles to add
to my book list! Bring them on!

I've enjoyed the time this morning perusing your 48 hour book list and beyond. I felt I was sharing your "reading nook" ... a very inviting and comfotable space.
