2012 TBR Pile Reading Challenge

Hello! This post is about a reading challenge I'm deciding to join. This one lasts for the full year, so I'm hoping I don't drop off on participation. School got very busy this semester, so the Fall Into Reading Challenge I was participating in fell to the wayside unfortunately. Also, this one doesn't have as much structure to the reading list, as I kept straying from it!
You can get all the reading challenge details here:
My TBR list is very long, so I'm not going to pretend like I'm going to get through it, so instead on my Goodreads I keep a list of books that I already own that I haven't read yet. I update this list every time I get a new book, so I'll add the link, but I'll also write it out to make it my official challenge list :)
1) Love The One You're With - Emily Giffin2) The Truth About Forever - Sarah Dessen3) Bloodline - Richelle Mead4) Marked - P.C. Cast5) The Struggle - L.J.

My goal is to read 100 books in 2012, so picking 40 for this list shouldn't limit my selection by too much :)Look forward to seeing everyone else's list, and posting reviews about these ones!

Fall Into Reading 2011

This is a reading Challenge (my first to participate in) from Callapidder Days where you make a list of the books you would like to read this Fall (Sept. 23-Dec.21). I think this is a great way to get on track with my outrageous TBR list, and give me some sort of guidance as to what to pick up next! And I love lists. Obsessively.

I'm going to break this into 3 categories: 1) stand alone books 2) new series books 3) next book in a series I already read (just for organizational purposes)

Stand Alone Books
1) Unbearable Lightness - Portia de Rossi
2) Little Women - Louisa May Alcott
3) Bel Canto - Ann Patchett
4) The Secret Life of Bees - Sue Monk Kidd

5) Water for Elephants - Sara Gruen
6) Let the Great World Spin - Colum McCann
7) The Guernsey Literary and Potato Society - Annie Barrows
8) The Color Purple - Alice Walker

New Series Books
9) Delirium - Lauren Oliver
10) Divergent - Veronica Roth
11) A Game of Thrones - George R.R. Martin
12) Anna and the French Kiss - Stephanie Perkins
13) Matched - Allie Condie

Next Book In A Series I Already Read
14) It Had To Be You - Janice Thompson (Wedding by Bella # 3)

15) ...And Then He Ate My Boy Entrances - Louise Rennison (Georgia Nicholson # 6)
16) Startled By His Furry Shorts- Louise Rennison (Georgia Nicholson # 7)
17) Love is a Many Trousered Thing - Louise Rennison (Georgia Nicholson # 8)
18) Stop in the Name of Pants! - Louise Rennison (Georgia Nicholson # 9)
19) Are These My Basoomas I See Before Me? - Louise Rennison (Georgia Nicholson # 10)

 

20) Club Dead - Charlaine Harris (Sookie Stackhouse #3)
21) Dead to the World - Charlaine Harris (Sookie Stackhouse #4)

 

22) James Potter and the Curse of the Gatekeeper - G. Norman Lippert

As ambitious as I would love to be, that's all I will add for now, so I don't end up being disappointed I couldn't finish. If I get near the end, I will add some more if I have to. I will label all my reviews with 'fall into reading' so you can find them easily :)
