We’re close to halfway on the official clock and I’ve been absolutely heart eyes emoji about the community online today. While many of you are marching (I wish I could be with you), lots of you are reading and talking and cheering each other on and I am here for it. Keep going, guys, you’re doing great!
I’ve seen lots of great readathon TBR stacks in my feeds, and now I want to see another kind of photo. We’ve already done shelfies, but this time I want to see your best spine poetry. Construct your best poem from book titles on your shelves, take a photo, and post a link to that photo and the resulting poem in a comment below. (Add punctuation as you see fit.) Here’s mine:
Hold still
Pretty is another day in the death of America
Half wild monstress, I see you.
Give me your best stanza and I’ll pick a prize winner for this challenge at Hour 24 at midnight ET tonight.
We’ve got another prize winner to announce, from Hour Twelve’s feminist challenge.
Nephele
And four more door prize winners too!

I tried a haiku:
Changeling, At Grave’s End,
The Woman Who Died a Lot,
Dead Ice – Night Broken.

Sadly I don’t have access to my books. They are all at my place. I’ve been housesitting my grandmother’s house until the estate has been finalized 😦 All I have is my kindle.

Through the woods, where things come back
A great and terrible beauty stolen.
If you come softly everything is illuminated.
