My 2008 TBR Challenge List



The other day when I should have been doing many other things, I ended up staring at my bookshelves (aka. the Too Be Read Pile) trying to determine what I'd be in the mood to read this next year for the TBR Challenge. I think the rule is that they must be books I've had for six months at least... and still haven't read and I'm assuming there can be a few crossovers with other challenges.

So, here's what I've come up with for my new list of 2008 TBR's:

  1. Moloka'i by Alan Brennert
  2. Magyk by Angie Sage
  3. The Secret Hour (Midnighters book 1) by Scott Westerfeld
  4. Messenger by Lois Lowry
  5. Eugenie Grandet by Honore de Balzac
  6. Quentins by Maueve Binchy
  7. The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay by Michael Chabon
  8. Man and Wife by Wilkie Collins
  9. The Painted Veil by Somerset Maugham
  10. Jamaica Inn by Daphne du Maurier
  11. Snow Flower and the Secret Fan by Lisa See
  12. The Memory Keeper's Daughter by Kim Edwards

Alternates:

  1. Sabriel by Garth Nix
  2. The Passion of Artemisia by Susan Vreeland
  3. The Moon Below by Barbara Bickmore
  4. Don Quixote by Miguel de Cervantes
  5. The Blind Assassin by Margaret Atwood

I can't wait to get going on a new year of reading!

As for this past year's challenge? I still have one more on my list to read, but I can't find it anywhere. I KNOW we had that book! So I may try one from the alternate list and hopefully have time to read it before the year ends. Anyway, all the results of that will be in another post!

  1. Ooo, you're in for a treat with "MOLOKA'I"! I finally got around to reading that one, this past year, and I can't believe I waited so long (2-3 years!) to get to it! It was great!

    Glad you've joined in on the challenge! ;o)
