Readathon Pile and General Excitement!

And now for the moment you've waited months to see: 
In my physical pile of books:

Night School by C. J. Daughtery
Drama by Raina Telgemeier
Soulless Vol.1 by Gail Carriger
Amphigorey by Edward Gorey

Mostly a bunch of graphic novels, because I'll be listening to audiobooks while I cheer, tweet, host a mini-challenge at Hour 8, and basically being more social than I've been in a long time.  

Here's the list of audiobooks I'll be choosing from:

Cracked Up to Be by Courtney Summers
Game (Jasper Dent #2) by Barry Lyga
In My Dreams by Sarah Addison Allen
Warm Bodies by Isaac Marion

I'm cheering this year, and I'm Team Owl!  Hoot, Readers!



And here's some Readathon Goodies I've made in the past:

Readathon Book Piles! Bring it!

 Dewey's 24 Hour Readathon is this Saturday!  I am so excited!!  I tell this story every readathon, but I would not be a book blogger if it weren't for Dewey's event, I'm just sad that I didn't start blogging until after Dewey had passed away.  I am so glad that I am a part of her legacy though.  This will be my 7th time participating in Dewey's Readathon!  This time around I get to do Readathon with 3 other book bloggers!  Kim from On The Wings Of Books is hosting at her house, Steph from The Fake Steph will be joining us for our 2nd official Readathon (unofficially our 3rd) and our friend and newbie book blogger, Katie from KT's Reading Rainbow will be doing her first ever Readathon!!

I'll be cheerleading again, which is always a blast!  Please though, I beg you, turn off CAPTCHA and comment approval, at least for 24 hours!  If you aren't sure what I'm talking about by CAPTCHA (word verification), just leave me a link to your blog and I'll tell you if you have it on your blog or not. ;)  Trust me, it'll attract a lot more comments and cheers if you make it easy for everyone to stop by!



And now for my favorite part or pre-Readathon prep: Building the pile o'books!!  This may surprise some of you that expected me to say that my favorite part of Readathon was the snack prep, and I am by no means underestimating my love of binging during Readathon (really, Kim, perhaps building a vomitorium would mean more brownies and Coke, and less healthy shiz?), but it is the piles of books that bring this chick to the yard.  Ohh...milkshakes...
Here's my Pile O'Books:




















Top to Bottom:
Pies and Prejudice by Ellery Adams
Halloween Night by R.L. Stine
The Innocents by Lili Peloquin
The Forrest of Hands and Teeth by Carrie Ryan
Seed by Ania Ahlhorn
Soulless Vol. 1 (manga) by Gail Carriger
Dollhouse: Epitaphs (graphic novel) by Joss Whedon
Dr. Horrible and Other Horrible Stories by Joss Whedon and Co.
The Walking Dead Vol. 2 Miles Behind Us by Robert Kirkman and Charlie Adlard
A Game of Thrones: A Graphic Novel Vol. 1 by George R.R. Martin
and LOTS of books on my Kindle
also I'll probably have an audio book or two to listen to while I cheer.

Lots of graphic novels this time around, but I personally get discouraged if I can't check off a book from my pile early on.  That's what works for me. 

So what books are on your Readathon Pile?  Add your post to the linky below, and be sure to check out what everyone is reading this Saturday!

Readathon Pile O'Books and a Hey Girl

First, a little pre-Readathon treat to all:

Sigh.  

So, now that's out of the way, here's the pile RG carried around for me:
From the Top:
The Next Accident by Lisa Gardner
Scott Pilgrim's Finest Hour by Bryan Lee O'Malley
House of Odd by Dean Koontz and Landry Q. Walker (illustrated by Queenie Chan)
Meet Your Match, Cupid Delaney by Ellen Leroe
Fade by Lisa McMann
Envy by Gregg Olsen
77 Shadow Street by Dean Koontz
The Invention of Hugo Cabret by Brian Selznick 
Locke & Key: Welcome to Lovecraft by Joe Hill and Gabriel Rodriguez

Will I get to all these books?  Probably not.  Especially considering that I'm also going to be with two of my fellow friends and bloggers, Kim and Steph.  Hopefully I'll be able to pry Why We Broke Up away from Kim, and I Hunt Serial Killers from Steph.  

Also, I have a lot of books awaiting me on my Kindle, so if none of these books are doing it for me, I'll read something from there.  Or just spend the whole Readathon finishing the third book in the Game of Thrones series.  

Besides reading (and eating!), I'll be cheering and hosting a mini-challenge during Hour 8.  I'm really excited to be doing Readathon with friends, especially bookish friends whose books I can steal borrow. 

What are you plans, bloggers?  Have you built your Readathon piles yet?  I know mine seems a bit ridiculous, but I believe in lots of choices (also graphic novels, mangas, and middle school readers).  Please, share your pile pictures, it's pretty much my favorite part of Readathon.

I can't wait for Saturday!
