Taking the Plunge!

Hello!  I'm a sixth grade teacher who adores books!  I'm starting this blog because I want to participate in the 48 Hour Book Challenge.  Since we are still in school and this is my birthday weekend, it will be a challenge to find 12 hours to read!  But I'm set and ready to read!  I'm currently reading Major Pettigrew's Last Stand for my adult book club and it's 7:30 a.m.
Here's the link to the 48 hour book challenge -http://www.motherreader.com/2011/05/sixth-annual-48-hour-book-challenge.html

  1. Woohoo! Welcome to the challenge (and the blogosphere)! The 48-Hour Book Challenge was one of the reasons I created my blog 3 years ago and it's one of my favorite weekends of the year. Good luck and happy reading!!

  4. If it took the 48 Hour Challenge to get you to blog, great! It's always a fun weekend, and blogging is a great way to outsource memories for students. I hope you enjoy Major Pettigrew-- it was one of the few adult books that I've read lately. And happy birthday!

  5. Welcome! I hope you have a happy reading weekend!

    Blogging is great fun...though perhaps a tad addictive.
