Read! Read! Read-a-Thon!

It's time for my 23rd Dewey's 24 Hour Read-a-Thon!

I think I've got a good book stack picked out! Several books that lend themselves well to Hallowe'en fun times! And six of the nine books are from my TBR pile, which is good because that is a challenge I'm way behind on this year. (The graphic novels are all library books; the rest I own.)

• Saga, Vol. 1 by Brian K. Vaughan and Fiona Staples (160 pages)
• Saga, Vol. 2 by Brian K. Vaughan and Fiona Staples (144 pages)
• Death & Sparkles by Rob Justus (360 pages)
• More Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark by Alvin Schwartz (80 pages)
• Say Cheese and Die! (Goosebumps #4) by R.L. Stine (132 pages)
• The Deception (Animorphs #46) by K.A. Applegate (118 pages)
• Monster of the Month Club by Dian Curtis Regan (152 pages)
• Frankenstein Doesn't Plant Petunias (The Bailey School Kids #6) by Debbie Dadey and Marcia Thornton Jones (57 pages)
• Rumble Fish by S.E. Hinton (135 pages)

That's a total of 1338 pages, consisting of 664 pages of graphic novels, and 674 pages of standard text, which is more than I read last time, but slightly less than I read last October. If I finish my whole stack, depending how much time remains, I'll either start the second volume of Sandman that a friend lent me, or I'll just read one of the several books I have in progress.

Finally, here's my opening survey:

1) What fine part of the world are you reading from today? Winnipeg, Manitoba

2) Which book in your stack are you most looking forward to? Say Cheese and Die! I love Goosebumps.

3) Which snack are you most looking forward to? Leftover kimchi noodles!

4) Tell us a little something about yourself! The other 22 times I've answered this question have used up all my fun facts lol!
