I have decided to seek another challenge or two to help me meet some of my 12in12 commitments, one being: the 2012 To Be Read (TBR) Challenge (as I heard about via a friend’s book review blog).
Some of these books have been on one of my shelves for more than ten years. The to-be-read pile became a to-be-read shelf, then 2 shelves, and now… well I don’t know yet. I’m not yet organized since our move. I did however receive 3 books for Christmas in addition to the half dozen I have accumulated since moving. But, shhhh, don’t tell you-know-who! 😉
My to-be-read books for 2012 follow:
The Bluest Eye – Toni Morrison
Pillars of the Earth – Ken Follet
The Widow of the South – Robert Hicks
Animal Farm – George Orwell
Life of Pi – Yaan Martel
Cry, The Beloved Country (Oprah’s Book Club) – Alan Paton
The Known World: A Novel – Edward D. Jones
Midwives – Chris Bohjalian
The Book Thief – Markus Zusak
Oryx and Crake – Margaret Atwood
Here On Earth – Alice Hoffman
Unless – Carol Shields
Alt:
Charming Billy – Alice McDermott
Wuthering Heights – Emily Brontë

Fantastic list! I have read Pillars of the Earth, Life of Pi and Oryx and
Crake. Never made it through Unless, but will try again. And Wuthering Heights
is my all time favourite. I think you’ll enjoy your reading.
Also – you linked your post to my
post (which is awesome), but if you want to win the prizes associated with the
challenge you have to link to roofbeamreader.net.
Good luck!
Thanks for pointing that out Nat! I have updated my post. Didn’t even realize I’d done that. 🙂
I’m reading Pillars of the Earth for this as well and have actually just started it. Life of Pi has been on my radar forever too. Hope you enjoy The Book Thief it is one of my favorites!
Thanks Laura.
Maybe I’ll start with Pillars of the Earth as well. Not sure. Just finishing a book from before the holidays hit.
I’ve tried starting Life of Pi a couple of times, not sure I will make it through this time either…
