TBR Challenge

So... adding my millions of things to do I've enter the...

TBR Challenge!

The basic guideline are:

** 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)(for more information, please read the challenge FAQs).

So to my list I shall have:

1. Dragon's Keep by Janet Lee Carey

2. Girl Overboard by Justina Headley

3. Vampire Academy by Michelle Read

4. WAKE by Lisa McMann

5. Emma by Jane Austin

6. The Garden of Eve by KL Going

7. Into the Wild by Sarah Durst

8. Honk if You Hate Me by Deborah Halverson

9. Hush by Donna Jo Napoli

10. The Singer of All Songs by Kate Constable

11. Behind the Curtain by Peter Abrahams

12. Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll

Alternatives:

1. the Second Virginity of Suzy Green by Sara Hantz

2. Through the Looking Glass by Lewis Carroll

This basically the list of all the books I should be reading now... and I forgot to add some manga. Oh well, that's how it stays.
