While Alice and I were discussing possible books for our 2012 List Challenge (post later this month), we decided there were too many books we wanted to read and we needed our own challenge. We threw the idea out to Jenn and voila...GJR Challenge was born. We each came up with a list of books to run by each other and then we agreed on 3 off of each our lists; so a total of 9 books for the year. We plan on reading the book in one month and then doing a group review the following month. Giving us all a chance to read it at our own pace but with a set "deadline".
Feel free to join along with us if any of these books intrigue you.
The Marriage Plot
The Night Circus
Joy For Beginners
The Dressmaker
The Secret of Joy
To Kill a Mockingbird
The Crossing Places (Ruth Galloway)
Graveminder
The Power of One
Can you guess who picked which books? :)
Thoughts? I think it is a nice variety of genres.
The first two are on my own TBR list. I read Graveminder for the R.I.P. challenge. I really enjoyed it. I look forward to reading your thoughts on it when you get to it.

I am currently reading The Dressmaker, and I have also read and loved The Night Circus.
