48 Hour Book Challenge Wrap-Up

The Secret Garden (2004 ed.)
Frances Hodgson Burnett
248 pages
5 out of 5


It's official. I'm finished with the challenge. This has been an interesting experience. Caffeine was supposed to help me stay up to read in the wee hours of the night, but for some strange reason did not work at all. The lastest I stayed up was until 11 o' clock last night.
What I read:
Wit: a play 93 pgs
Driving Miss Daisy 39
The Secret Garden 248
The Sandman 240
Time and Materials 85
The Wild Braid 144
The Scent of God 30 - didn't finish
Rules for old men waiting - 40 didn't finish
The Lawn, short story by Mona Simpson
from The Vintage Book of Contemporary American Short Stories 22 pgs
My page total: 941 pages. I can't even tell you how many hours I've spent on this challenge, my life is too hectic. My book total is 6 books, 2 plays, and a short story.
My favorite reads were Time and Materials, Driving Miss Daisy, The Scent of God, and Wit.
