I’ve finally found a reading challenge that seems to be tailored specifically for people like me: Obsessive Book Buyers. Officially, it’s the Off the Shelf Challenge hosted by BA Reading Challenges. The parameters for the challenge are simple. Read books you already own, the ones that have been sitting in your To-Read pile for weeks or months (or, in my case, YEARS!). Reviews are optional.
I’ve got fifteen books total, which puts me in the TRYING category. Here’s my To-Read list:
1. Eats, Shoots, and Leaves by Lynne Truss
2. Those Who Save Us by Jenna Blum
3. Transgression by James W. Nichol
4. The Road by Cormac McCarthy
5. The Missing Girl by Norma Fox Mazer
6. Teach Me by R.A. Nelson
7. Ethan Frome by Edith Wharton
8. The Year of Fog by Michelle Richmond
9. Some Girls Are by Courtney Summers
10. The Adoration of Jenna Fox by Mary E. Pearson
11. The Body Finder by Kimberly Derting
12. The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner by Stephenie Meyer
13. This Lullaby by Sarah Dessen
14. Waiting for You by Susan Colasanti
15. Across the Universe by Beth Revis
What about you? Participating in any reading challenges this year? What’s on your T0-Read list?
This is a challenge I seriously want to do. I have so many unread books on my shelf, but honestly, I don’t see myself attacking them until the summer…*sigh* …I hope…
