Finally, MY Starting Line

Nothing like internet connection problems to start off the 48 HBC. Never fear; I've gotten 8 books read and am in it for the long haul! Started late, at 5:45. How have I finished off so many books? I can read a notebook novel in half an hour, and had been saving up a whole bunch! Here's what I've read so far:

Ignatow, Amy. The Awesomely Awful Melodies ofLydia Goldblatt and Julie Graham Chang

Benton, Jim. Nobody’s Perfect, I’m As Close as it Gets. (Dear Dumb Diary, Year Two)
Tashjian, Janet. My Life as a Cartoonist
Mellom, Robin. Student Council Smackdown
Simon, Coco. Katie's New Recipe (Cupcake Diaries #13)
Sutherland, Tui and Kari. The Menagerie
Hunter, Erin. The Hidden Enemy.
Clark, Henry. What We Found in the Sofa and How it Saved the World.

I wrote up reviews and figure I have until 11:30 to visit blogs. Will have pictures up a little later.

Cool and gray here, so it is a PERFECT day to do nothing but READ!!!!
