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 1/1/2012 or later (any book published in the year 2011 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.

I am so happy you are joining this challenge! It's a good one!
I still can't believe that I haven't read The Book Thief. Someone sent it to me as a gift when they heard I hadn't read it - and still it sits there. I don't know why I won't just pick it up! Maybe because everyone raves about it? The only other on this list that I've heard about is Her Fearful Symmetry. I've never read anything by Niffenegger, but I hear good things. Glad you ladies are with us in 2013 - best of luck to ya!
