bookshelves of doom

The 48 Hour Book Challenge is nigh.

However! It'll be a bit different this year:

MotherReader has decided to take a well-deserved break from hosting duties, so Ms. Yingling and Abby the Librarian have waded into the fray and TAKEN CHARGE.

Regardless! Start organizing your TBR pile, because June 7th will be here BEFORE YOU KNOW IT.

I'd better remind Joshua that he'll need to find something to do that weekend that DOESN'T involve standing in front of me and chanting, "PAY ATTENTION TO ME, PAY ATTENTION TO ME, PAY ATTENTION TO MEEEEEEEEEE!"

Huh. In retrospect, I realize that I should have hidden The 5th Wave from him until that weekend: then he could have participated, too! (He's LOVING it, by the way. Judging purely by his reaction to it—he's been going to bed EARLY every night so he can start reading SOONER—I'm really looking forward to my turn with it.)

Kindle Daily Deal: Ruby Redfort.

Lauren Child's first Ruby Redfort book is $1.99 today—I had mixed feelings about it, but figured it was worth a mention.

Also, C.J. Redwine's Defiance is on sale as well. I haven't read it yet: should I snag it? The Booklist review namedrops Le Guin, which suggests to me that maybe I should...

Kindle Daily Deal: Terry Pratchett.

Terry Pratchett's Snuff is $1.99 today.

I haven't read that one, but as I've only read The Color of Magic and Mort (loved Mort, was less-than-thrilled with The Color of Magic), I dunno if it would really work as a stand-alone. Thoughts?

Kindle Daily Deal: Stephenie Meyer.

While I suspect that you're all got this covered, I feel that it's worth mentioning that the Twilight saga (including Bree Tanner) and The Host are on sale for $2.99 today.

For Marjorie, who is a Reasonable Person.

If it makes you feel any better, I just got called a hater by a Theodore Boone fan (who, granted, is agreeing with someone who's calling himself 'Fart bung', but whatever):

So, really, we're in the same boat, right? C'MON, GIVE ME A HUG!

Ugh. The issue with the links continues. Click on through to Storify if you want to follow 'em, I guess. :(
