Hey everyone! For the past two years I have participated in RoofbeamReader's TBR Pile challenge. This year will be another year that I try to meet the goal of reading and reviewing twelve books that have been on my TBR Shelf for over a year, so nothing published in 2012. There are quite a few for me to choose... the first year I read five and reviewed two. This year I did a jut about as good, reading and reviewing four.The list for my 2013 goal (third times a charm, eh?) has to be up and linked by December 31st, so I scrambled through my shelves to come up with my official 2013 list (with two alternates in case some are DNFs).
I really want to accomplish reading these. It always felt so good last year being able to come back to this list and link another review. So hopefully, by this time next year, I will have a list full of hyperlinks instead of dreams. Wish me luck! :)
Julia's 2013 TBR Pile Challenge
1. Catch-22 by Joseph Heller (GR)
This is the third year in a row I have put this on this list!
I really want to read this before the movie comes out. This is the second time on the list.
3. 1984 by George Orwell (GR)
Another threepeater... technically I have been trying to read this since 2009...
4. Divergent by Veronica Roth (GR)
I have this one in my possession so it shouldn't be too hard to do, hopefully.
5. Silk Is For Seduction by Loretta Chase (GR)
This one is from my literal TBR shelf, proudly displayed in my living room.
6. Trial by Desire by Courtney Milan (GR)
Another one from the Border's blowout from oh so many years ago.
7. Poison Study by Maria V. Snyder (GR)
My sister has been on me to read this for forever it seems.
8. Dreaming in Chinese: Mandarin Lessons in Life, Love and Language by Deborah Fallows (GR)
This is the second year for this one.
9. Prince of Tides by Pat Conroy (GR)
Another book I've been trying to read. I actually almost read it last year.
10. Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen (GR)
Once I read this I feel like all of you can breath a collective sigh of relief.
11. Then Came You by Lisa Kleypas (GR)
I've been meaning to read more by her for a while now.
12. So Enchanting by Connie Brockway (GR)
Another author I have been meaning to try for ages.
Alternates:
1. The Devil Wears Plaid by Teresa Medeiros (GR)
Second year repeat.
