The details:
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 – I WILL be checking publication dates). Caveat: Two (2) alternates are allowed, just in case one or two of the books end up in the “can’t get through” pile. 2. You must write an original review/response (it doesn’t have to be anything fancy) for each book, to help us ensure you are actually completing the books you say you are.

I'm excited because a lot of these books have been sitting around for a year or longer, not for lack of wanting to read them but lack of time!
I'll be updating this post with my reviews and also labeling any reviews that are related to this challenge as such.

Woo hoo! Glad you're joining again. Petty Magic and The Lotus Flower sound good - I really haven't heard of most of these, though. Guess I'll have to check-in on your reviews, as I always do!
(Don't forget to link-up)
Looking good!
Wolf Hall was recently named one of the best historical fiction novels of all time... so I'm looking forward to your thoughts on that (I've added it to my wish list, because of its recognition/reputation, but it's not really something I would normally read).
