My friend Christy finally got a blog and it’s a book blog, so now I will take this chance to copy her! haha
The group Book Addicts on Goodreads is having a book challenge for 2011. Choose 12 books and 2 alternates (in case you suck at choosing or your book randomly disappears or something) for the year. These books should be books that have been on your real or mental “to be read” list for at least a year. View the “official” rules if you would like to participate in this challenge in the Goodreads group. (P.S. Be my friend on Goodreads.)
TBR Challenge 2011
1. Atlas Shrugged – Ayn Rand
2. The Bell Jar – Sylvia Plath
3. Anna Karenina – Leo Tolstoy
4. Trans-Sister Radio – Chris Bohjalian
5. The Hunger Games – Suzanne Collins
6. The Other Boleyn Girl – Philippa Gregory
7. The Historian – Elizabeth Kostova
8. House of Leaves – Mark Z. Danielewski
9. Remainder – Tom McCarthy
10. The Yanomamo – Napoleon A. Chagnon
11. Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers – Mary Roach
12. Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus – Ludwig Wittgenstein
Alternates:
1. The Handmaid’s Tale – Margaret Atwood
2. Blindness – Jose Saramago
I chose three classics, three non-fiction and a slew of fiction. I own all of these books except for The Bell Jar, Trans-sister Radio, (I own like three other Chris Bohjalian books and of course I pick one I don’t!) and The Hunger Games.
This isn’t all I intend to read for the year – I also want to make 2011 another year of 100 books! (The last time was 2006.)
If you join in this challenge or any book challenge for the year, please add your post to the linky so we all can see!
