2012 TBR Pile Challenge
Adam at Roofbeam Reader is hosting the TBR Pile Challenge.
The Goal
To read 12 books from your “to be read” pile in 12 months.
Specifics
Each of these 12 books must have been on your bookshelf or “To Be Read” list for AT LEAST one full year. This means the book cannot have a publication date of 1/1/2011 or later (any book published in the year 2010 or earlier qualifies, as long as it has been on your TBR pile. Two (2) alternates are allowed, just in case one or two of the books end up in the “can’t get through” pile.

Under My Apple Tree 
The Things They Carried is a GREAT book and The Road is one of my all-time favorites – good choices, there!!
I’ve owned Under the Tuscan Sun and The Blind Assassin for a while too, but haven’t read them yet. Maybe I’ll try to get to them next year.. Devil in the White City is one that’s been on my wish list for years.
Glad you’re joining us – nice list & good luck!
