We can wrap our children in bubble wrap or we can have fun with literature. This is harmless. Take the opportunity to tell your niece that jackass is another word for donkey, it's a play on words. Other exposure your children will have to bad language will most likely be a negative experience. This shouldn't be one, it's all in how you approach it. Empower your children to be critical, savvy readers. Don't sanitize their education.

What a fabulous list of books with ideas. Very creative and a lot of fun for the giver and receiver.

I appreciate how you are sharing your experience--it's not just a tick-tock timeline, and it's not overly full of meticulous description. I think I can be a better expo goer having read your posts.

I didn't quite make it to the twelve minimum, but wanted to link up anyway, I hope that's okay! Thank you for doing this!

Thanks for doing this again this year. I appreciate your time and efforts and the way you bring us readers together. Thank you...thank you.

I finished last night, but wasn't able to post until now because the house got a new puppy.

And wow, am I really glad at the timing of this challenge. I was in incredible pain for most of it, which is a chronic problem for me, but I usually tell myself that I can't read during those episodes, and kind of check out. But now I know! I can read, even if it takes much, much longer to do so.

So thank you so much!

Although, this is my first time participating, I ended the challenge with having read 20 hours, so I feel great! Thanks for such an awesome experience!

2015-06-21T18:34:54.495-04:00

I didn't blog this time through since I wanted to really just READ, but I got in 15 hours, finished 5 books, and am really happy with that. I needed this reading weekend. Thank you for organizing it again, Pam!

2015-06-21T17:40:52.296-04:00

Liked The Girl in the Torch and The Lies I told was okay, just too YA for me. Can't say I did in-depth, quality reading this weekend, but did at least get my TBR pile weeded! Thanks for hosting.

I got in 28 hours, 15 minutes! My second most yet. Thanks for the excuse to indulge, Pam! Now I need to try to get ready for ALA!

This was my first "48 hour book challenge" and I really liked it :)
I enjoyed it and for a moments I was thinking of other persons who were reading too.
Thanks for this challengue.

Linking up late, though I drafted my post earlier... been a busy weekend already! Hopefully I'll make my 12 hours, fingers crossed.
