I've been scavenging my book shelves for shorter novels and some light short stories . These provide a sense of accomplishment with each completion,
keeping me from becoming overwhelmed in the middle of the day! ~ Drawing from Agatha Christie's PARTNERS IN CRIME  and the COMPLETE HERCULE POIROT 

~*~ French Canadian author, Gabrielle Roy's
STREET OF RICHES ~ ~ Deb Macomber's double short story books
~

~ Joanne Fluke's APPLE TURNOVER MURDER [with recipes!] ~

~ Some of my selection possibilities...  They also keep adding to my Oct mystery reading tally  for the RIP X Challenge. More reading options via ereader, I may be pursuing those once I get into the actual reading. Nothing like an entire day to focus on new reading choices ! I'll update my current reading once the day begins. ~ Join fellow Dewey ReadaThon readers HERE and plan your own book retreat for the day -
Saturday Oct 17th. ~*~ Next, because it seems obvious I hate to be reading unchallenged,
Travel the World in Books  Readathon beginning at midnight Oct 18th along with Dewey's which continues til 6.55 a.m. cdt .   ~

I am already a participant in the ongoing Travel the World Challenge [my reading travel titles posted HERE with Maps] and  I'm happy to add more worldwide book travel via this annual Readathon. I've created a Travel the World in Books shelf at goodreads for tracking book travels. My travels began by exploring my bookshelves to discover unread books in various world locales. Here's what I've come up with:
