Starting line post for the 48 hour reading challenge

 MotherReader's starting line

My plan is to start at 1:30 p.m. MST today, June 4th.  My 48 hour period will end at 1:30 p.m. MST Sunday June 6th.  I will not be posting again until sometime after 5:00 today, as my husband will have the computer.  That means a few concentrated hours of reading without computer tasks to distract me!

My sponsors thus far:

Lutheran Lisa $1/book
Sara Sara and Raj Sara $1/book with a $10 minimum
Amber Owen Amber $2/book
Dara who I haven't met yet Dara $2/book (and an extra $10 if I can get my hands on To Say Nothing of the Dog by Connie Willis...)
Keely tiny dogs Wiley and Halston Keely $10 for finishing the audiobook of Woman in White by Wilkie Collins  (been listening to this one with my daughter -- this'll be a good incentive to finish it up!)


All funds from sponsors will go to Alpine Valley School.

  4. Thanks Rasco! I'm glad you checked out the link. My six-year-old has been attending AVS three days a week since October and it's been a good place for her! After visiting the school she said, "Well, *if* I go to school, *that* is the school I'm going to!"
