"TBR Challenge 2011" introduced me to the "to be read" challenge sponsored by
the Book Addicts! group on
Goodreads. (My book montage on the blog's sidebar comes from Goodreads.) For the challenge, members choose twelve books and two alternates to read during 2011. These must be books published before 2010, in other words, books that have been on the to-read list for quite some time. I decided to join, and I picked the following books:
Because they are mysteries, the books I'm choosing as alternates are:
Hopefully, I will be more successful reading in 2011 than I was in 2010 - I didn't even finish 25 books last year!

What a great idea!
ReplyDeleteI have so many to read books in my shelf...
A very good idea for a challenge =) And when it's posted like that in your blog all the time it's not easy to forget either. My personal book challenge for 2011 is to read all the unread books I've got, and not buy new ones until I do. I read about 10 books a month, but still it's quite difficult, especially not buying new ones ;P I looove buying strange books on sale.

Congrats for finishing that many. I wouldn't finish 25 either. Problem being that I enjoy the internet so much...could we call that reading?
ReplyDeleteDark Places is one of my favorite books! I don't usually read mysteries either.
ReplyDeleteNice list!
