Twenty-two hours, 27 minutes, 19 seconds

Definitely time for another post! 

I've slept twice this challenge -- I found it harder to avoid that with a 48 hour challenge as opposed to 24.  But I'm looking forward to jumping in and going full force for the rest of the day!

Sped through Double Identity by Margaret Peterson Haddix yesterday afternoon, as I suspected I might.  If you've not read anything of hers, you should!  I'd start with either Running Out of Time or the Shadow Children series.  One quote to share from Double Identity (I know it's not the first time someone has said something along these lines, but I still like it): 

Science and religion deal with different questions.  Science is how things happen and religion is why.  The problem comes when people forget what they are asking of whom.  (p.117)

I have two discs left and then I'll be finished with The Woman in White as well.  Need to beef up my number of books read before the challenge is over, so I have a lovely amount to give to Alpine Valley. Getting ready to start Num8ers by Rachel Ward.  When my daughter wakes up, we'll probably try for some more of The Woman in White. 


Finished:
