To Be Read

To Be Read
From the TBR Challenge website:

Pick 12 books - one for each month of 2008 - that you’ve been wanting to read (that have been on your “To Be Read” list) for 6 months or longer, but haven’t gotten around to.

OPTIONAL: Create a list of 12 “Alternates” (books you could substitute for your challenge books, given that a particular one doesn’t grab you at the time)

Then, starting January 1, 2008, read one of these books from your list each month, ending December 31, 2008. :o)
