24 Hour Read-a-Thon: My Book Pool
There are a ton of books marked as “To Be Read†around here, but since it’s October and I’m participating in the R.I.P. IV challenge, I’ve decided to limit my book pool to all things macabre, supernatural, and spooky. Werewolves, ghosts, ghouls, vampires, witches, poltergeists, mythological beasties, aliens, faeries, and psycho killers are all fair game.
And since I don’t know exactly what I’ll be in the mood to read from minute to minute come October 24, this list is going to be long and unwieldy and there’s a good chance I won’t finish all of them…I’ll probably be lucky if I finish four.

There’s some overlapping with my RIP IV reading pool, but I figure that’s OK.
* I decided to swap Unholy Child by Catherine Breslin for Shiver by Maggie Stiefvater, but didn’t feel like taking another picture. Sorry. I got hit up by The Lazies™.
