#Weirdathon Sign up and TBR!

I saw Julianne post about the month - long Weirdathon a while back and was intrigued but thought it probably wasn't my kind of thing because I don't read that much weird stuff, but then I looked again and she defines weird as "anything that's weird to you" and so I thought I could probably pull together a list (and maybe use it as an excuse to purchase some more books for me, because I still haven't got over that whole 9 months without buying books thing) and here we are!

I have the Re-Readathon (10 days for re-reading everything you want to re-read but never get time to - come join us!) happening at the end of the month so this TBR is probably (definitely) wildly overambitious but what would a reading event be without me making a wildly ambitious TBR pile? A non-event, that's what. Some of this list are books I already own and some are ones that I added from Julianne's posts of weird books she's read. I'm sure I'll add to the list as the month goes on and I see other people reading awesome books!

Boy Snow Bird by Helen Oyeyemi *

I am so excited for this event and I think I'll be kicking off with Diving Belles which is beautiful and which I received from my OTSP Secret Sister this month. I hope I get a lot of reading done, because this list is the most exciting one I've made for a while! Come and be weird with us - sign up at Outlandish Lit!
