I am so excited - I have participated in the 24 Hour Read-a-Thon as a reader in the past but this is my first time hosting a Mini Challenge. I'm keeping this one simple - I want a picture of books - show me a book shelf, your tbr pile, your nightstand piled with books, your prized ARCs, whatever, just post a picture of some books during the 12pm - 3pm EST time-slot and link here and you're entered.
I'll start you off with my pictures – here are some of my prized review books that I can’t wait to get to:
And here is my teetering pile of review books and library books:
What does the winner get? A choice of any one (1) book up to a $15 value at The Book Despository. If the Book Depository has free shipping to your country then you are eligible for this one (see I do love my international readers).
So post your pictures, comment here and you are entered (make sure I have a way to contact you). I'll be drawing a winner between 3-3:30 pm. Look for the winner on the main read-a-thon site!

I have whole shelves as my TBR pile because I am that ridiculous.
You can find my post here. It's my Hours 1-4 post but the pics are in there.
My books. Let me show you them!

Here's my current TBR pile, which is much smaller than usual! I'm finally getting realistic!

So fun, thanks for a cool mini challenge :)
Here's my post for hour 5 with a picture of the books I've chosen for the read-a-thon.
Ramblings of a (Future) Librarian
I played at http://www.candysraves.com - fun! I'm mainly a Kindle reader, but I took a photo of it with my shelf left of paperbacks :)
Awesome mini-challenge! My picture is posted here: http://zenleaf.amandagignac.com/2010/10/readathon-mini-challenges.html
I posted a photo of my current library books, which are my read-a-thon focus, at http://shelflove.wordpress.com/2010/10/09/the-readathon-post-2/
There's no way I'll get through all these today, but I'm giving myself some choices :-)

Is it odd that I love looking at other people's piles of books?
Here's my contribution.

I too have a bigger TBR pile then a life time of reading could probably complete...espectially in this season of life where I am lucky to get my book club books read (i.e. 12 a year!). Here is my entry of the 3 books I hope to start today...and will be thrilled to finish one! http://readingderby.blogspot.com/2010/10/challenge-show-me-books.html
Fun challenge! Here are a couple of my shelves...
http://virginiebarbeau.wordpress.com/2010/10/09/readathon-post-4-mini-challenge/
I made a post here with my book photos.
This looks like a fun challenge...I love seeing other people's books!
hey - good contest!

I took a photo of the books I'll be choosing from today. It's in my central post for the read-a-thon. My email address is listed on my blog, if I win. :-)
This pic is my nightstand. They usually aren't this neat, but I wanted the titles showing.
Shown here, 5th hour challenge. http://kanaye44.blogspot.com/2010/10/hello-it-is-now-time-for-oct-9th-24.html

I took a picture of the books I plan to read today along with a few others here.
Both my posts so far include pictures of my bookshelves, but here is the one specific to this challenge!
My shelves are mainly ONLY TBR books! That's because I have no impulse control and results in me having to put away books I've already read!
My shelves are on my round-up post HERE!
Great challenge! Here are my books - http://bibliophibian.blogspot.com/2010/10/mini-challenge-show-me-your-books.html

My apartment is nothing but stacks of books. But I just focused on two here:

I am almost embarrassed by the sheer number of books I own or have borrowed from the library. Almost :)
See my books @ Stuff & Nonsense.
I took a photo of my challenge books!
http://www.aworkinprogress.net/2010/10/hour-4-5-update-and-show-me-books.html
I love your stacks and stacks. I have a library my husband built me last winter too and My Nook currently has about 400 more books on it. :)
My guys have my camera at the cross-country race. :( I have 8 shelves over-flowing with books.
Oh, no you didn't! You may have let loose Pandora's Box. Find mine here.
you can check out my pictures from here: http://readdbooks.blogspot.com/2010/10/read-thon-update-nm1-mini-challenge.html
My TBR pile for the day is one the dresser. Everything else is my general TBR.
As you can see, I have my work cut out for me:
http://sjkessel.blogspot.com/2010/10/readathon-challenge-response-show-me.html
The USB cable for my camera is broken, so I don't actually have REAL pics of my books (which I THOUGHT were a lot until I saw YOUR piles!), but I do have a post with the covers of my Readathon books here:

Julie @ Knitting and Sundries
I posted a picture of my readathon books yesterday: http://www.reclusivebibliophile.com/tomorrow-deweys-24-hour-readathon
The rest of my books are strewn about my room. They are semi-organized by review books, already read books, new-ish books, and older books. Sometimes that system gets broken if I try to keep all of an author's work together.
A lot of my books have not yet made the move from CA to NY since I relocated. At some point they may migrate here, and then I will need to buy bookshelves and probably arrange them alphabetically, but I'm definitely not there yet.
some of my disorganised shelves:

Ooooh, lots and lots of book piles and shelves to troll through! I plan on going through all of them (really!) after the Thon is over because I'm nosy like that.
For now, though I give you my main TBR shelves. (Yep, that would be plural.)
http://pleasepardontheinterruption.blogspot.com/2010/10/hour-6.html
Thanks for such a fun challenge!
I took a picture of the books I'm reading, but I am cheating a little, since I only have my ereader with me at the moment:
http://irisonbooks.wordpress.com/2010/10/09/read-a-thon/
If you decide that that doesn't count, I understand :)
My books can for this challenge can be viewed here http://booksalovestory.blogspot.com/2010/10/deweys-24-hour-readathon.html

I made a fun video of some of my books, just for the Readathon :o)
I have a too many TBR books to be able to get a picture of them..I'm hopeless when it comes to books. I do have a picture of my books that will hopefully be attacking during the readathon. This is a fun challenge. I will have to peek at a few of these before I get back to reading.

Here's my pile for the readathon:

OK, this one was FUN! Although it is more than my TBR pile, thank goodness ...
http://gothougeekly.wordpress.com/2010/10/09/show-me-the-books/
I have lots of shelves for all different books.
And my TBR shelf will be even more ful after Monday as I have already pulled 16 new books from the Book Fair that starts next week
Here are the pics:

Yes, I did in fact post something at my blog for this challenge!
http://challengingthebookworm.wordpress.com/2010/10/09/deweys-read-a-thon-hour-six/
And yes, that first picture is the stack I have finished over the last month and have to blog before I can return to the library. Seeing everyone else's pictures though let's me know I'm not so alone in this endeavor.
My books(on their bookshelves). The good, the bad and the ugly.

I'm currently working as an editorial intern at Leucrota Press. Part of my job includes making weekly blog posts, and last week my post was about the read-a-thon!
Here's the picture I took to go with the post.
Click for the pic! :)
It is the preliminary pile of books and read-a-thon supplies. This isn't the whole stash--there are four more in a bag I brought home from the library yesterday, and a whole shelf in my room dedicated to the TBR collection!
Here is a post about my books:
http://amazingadulthoodofalexis.blogspot.com/2010/10/hour-five-mini-challenge-show-me-books.html
