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.

So many great books on your list. I'm tempted to join this challenge but not sure if I want to do challenges for 2013 yet. Good luck and have fun!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you're joining us again this year!
ReplyDeleteThe only one on this list that I've read is Gone With the Wind (I read it this year for the 2012 TBR Pile Challenge!) and it is so, so good. I've heard good things about The Lotus Eaters, too, but I know nothing about the rest of these. Looking forward to your thoughts/reviews! Good luck!
