TBR Challenge 2014

This is such a necessary challenge for me. My TBR pile is huge.

This TBR challenge requires that the books be from 2012 or earlier--they need to have been on my pile for a year--and I need to list specific titles. I will be adding to my TBR master list for a day or two and then I will complete this list. My requirement is that these be books I own, either physically or on my Kindle. I am also NOT using many of the several books from last year that I didn't get to, because I am tired of seeing their names. (This list may still change if I get any of these read by the end of this year.)

1. The Monster of Florence by Douglas Preston (1/28/2014)
2. King Leopold's Ghost (11/28/2014)
3.The Child from the Sea by Elizabeth Goudge
4. The Shoemaker's Wife by Adriana Trigiani
5. Prince Caspian by C.S. Lewis (1/26)
6.A Life Worth Living by John Holt
7. Strength in What Remains by Tracy Kidder (12/5)
8. Redwall by Brain Jacques (11/22)
9. The Eye of the World by Robert Jordan (9'21)
10. Defenders of the Faith: Charles V, Suleyman the Magnificent, and the Battle for Europe,   1520-1536 by Reston (10/9)
11. Neither Here Nor There by Bill Bryson (12/15/2014)
12. The Fall of Arthur by JRR Tolkien (11/29/2014)

Alternates:
1. Venezia by Tessa Kiros(12/28/2014)
2. The Art of the Commonplace by Wendell Berry

  2. Now you've made me want to change my list as we have a copy of John Holt's A life worth living on the shelf and I have started it previously but not finished it, and I really should having read everything else he has written. Good luck with the challenge.

  3. I find it fascinating to read your book lists. Always so many new books to see. I like that you're reviewing them too (really should get on goodreads more) cause I can decide whether I want to read them too. :)
