A Reading Challenge

I don't tend to participate in reading challenges.  They're usually designed with certain books in mind or time limits that are unattainable for me.  But Girls Just Reading's friend Adam over at Roof Beam Reader is hosting a challenge that is perfect for me, to finally read 12 books from your "to be read" pile, within 12 months.

"What?!?"  You're asking,  "That doesn't sound so hard!  You read thirty-some books a year!"  

While this is true, I'm actually only skimming the surface of my TBR Pile.  Often times new books and/or requested reviews get pushed to the top of the pile and other things, things I really want to read, get lost in the mire.  This will be a chance to make sure I get to read some things I really want to read and haven't had a chance to yet.  My list won't be quite as lofty as Adam's (who's list includes authors like Dickens, Hemingway, Vonnegut, and Updike), but it will be varied.  I'm excited.

Now for the hard part... to construct the list.  (EDITED TO ADD:  The list is up!)

Want to participate too?  Here's a link to Roof Beam Reader's 2011 To Be Read (TBR) Challenge.  You need to have your list posted be 12/31, so start compiling... :)
