My stack is pleasantly monochromatic --
The Graveyard Book Graphic Novel, Volume One (and I picked up Volume Two shortly after I took this picture)
The Creeps
This House is Haunted
Unnatural Creatures (short stories not by Neil Gaiman)
Brat Farrar (reread because Anastasia got me in the mood)
The Bad Beginning (reread for the Top 100 Chapter Book Project)
Lords and Ladies (a Discworld Witches book)
My plan is to finish my current read--The Infernals (second in the Samuel Johnson series)--first thing in the morning and then move on to The Creeps (book three). Then I will probably go through the two volumes of The Graveyard Book graphic novel. I started the first one the other day and it is incredibly dark. It hardly seems like a children's book in this format! Then I'll choose from the other books based on my mood in the evening and what I think will keep me awake the longest. I also have the audiobook of The Glass Sentence on my phone for when I'm baking, driving, or when my eyes need a break.
I'll be sticking with my usual read-a-thon breakfast of scones and tea. This time I am trying glazed cinnamon raisin. Then I have some yummy Trader Joe's snacks for during the day, taquitos for lunch, and probably pizza for dinner. I also have some popcorn and fruit that didn't make it into the picture.
As always, I'll be putting my updates up on Twitter and my pictures on Instagram. I've also decided this time to not focus on the details but just to have fun -- so I won't be counting pages or hours. I'll just be reading and having fun!
What are you looking forward to reading (or eating) today?
Excited as always,
K
Love your books and your snacks :) I picked up Constable and Toop (once again because of you!) from the library last night and started it last night so that will be my first read today. The start time is usually too early for me too but I woke up at 4 in the damn morning today :( I think my body thought it was taking a nap because of going to bed early last night. Have fun today!!
ReplyDeleteHooray! And 4 in the morning only exists from one direction for me and that's staying up until then. ;)
DeleteSo far I've had some quiche and a teensy bit of chocolate. I couldn't help myself!
ReplyDeleteHope the reading is going great! #TeamEliot #readathon
Yum! Thanks for the cheer!
DeleteOMG...taquitos! Maybe I should go to TJs after all!
ReplyDeleteI'm sure you're glad you did. ;)
DeleteTaking a quick break to do some unofficial cheering - woo hoo! keep it up! way to go!! (I stink at cheerleading!) =)
ReplyDeleteHaha! Anything is appreciated. :)
DeleteI absolutely love your pile! It's so R.I.P.-ish!
ReplyDeleteYeah, I find myself gorging at this time of year. My entire top TBR shelf right now is black and dark blue pretty much!
DeleteYour books are monochromatic but how colorful are those snacks!! I need all my pals to put together a list of must haves from trader joes--we JUST got our local store and I'm so overwhelmed!!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with those wee hours. ;) I'm headed to bed soon!
Oh yeah, it's super overwhelming at TJs! I always buy more than I meant to and not as much as I wish I could. ;)
Deletew00t Team Night Owl! :) I didn't start until, like, 11:30, so I feel ya.
ReplyDeleteYeah, it was about 11:30 here when I finally started reading. It's almost 10pm right now and I feel fine so I'll be around for hours to come. Starting my 4th book now!
DeleteSuch a lovely stack of books - they were meant to be together. And your snacks look awesome! I'm wishing I had some of those peanut butter cups. I may have to look for those the next time I'm at TJ's.
ReplyDeleteI hope you're having a good readathon! See you in the wee hours. :)
Everyone else color codes their libraries by color. Maybe I should make an all black and grey and white library. ;)
DeleteOnly 1 hour and 15 minutes left. You can do this Reader, you can do the #Dewey #readathon! :D
ReplyDeleteI made it until just before you posted this. ;)
