After a late start to the day, I’ve been forced to reconsider my mini read-a-thon. Rather than cancel or postpone it altogether, I’ve decided to shorten it. Instead of twelve hours of straight reading, it will be six, which should leave me enough time to accomplish all the other tasks around here that need to get done. 
Chopping the timeframe in half means that I also have to reconsider how many books I’ll be able to pack away. Now, I’m down to reading two books and four short stories. It seems like a fair compromise.
Since I decided to keep the four various categories from which to choose, the book pool will seem rather broad.
Tuck Everlasting by Natalie Babbitt • wtf by Peter Lerangis • The Devouring by Simon Holt • Mister Monday by Garth Nix • Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher • Gothic! Ten Original Dark Tales by Various Authors • Moonlight & Vines by Charles de Lint • Prom Nights From Hell by Various Authors
