First off, congrats to everyone for surviving the apocalypse! With that out the way, I thought I'd get onto signing up to some reading challenges. For 2013 I've chosen 5 to be a part of! The first one I'm letting you know about is the 2013 Off the Shelf Challenge hosted by Bookish Ardour. In 2012, I had a go at the Trying level, so next year I'm going to step it up a notch and have a go at Making A Dint, aka reading 30 books from my TBR pile/list. Here's what I'm thinking about reading:
1. The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald {review}
2. Wolf Hall by Hilary Mantel {review}
3. The Host by Stephenie Meyer {review}
4. The Help by Kathryn Stockett {review}
5. Fatal Voyage by Kathy Reichs {review}
6. Divergent by Veronica Roth {review}
7. Insurgent by Veronica Roth {review}
8. Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy by John Le Carre {review}
9. The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky {review}
10. The Zombie Survival Guide by Max Brooks {review}
11. Abraham Lincoln, Vampire Hunter by Seth Grahame Smith {review}
12. Ingenue by Jillian Larkin {review}
13. A is for Alibi by Sue Grafton {review}
14. Uglies by Scott Westerfield {review}
15. Eragon by Christopher Paolini {review}
16. Daughter of Smoke and Bone by Laini Taylor {review}
17. Legend by Marie Lu {review}
18. Anna Dressed in Blood by Kendare Blake {review}
19. Beautiful Creatures by Kami Garcia & Margaret Stohl {review}
20. Beautiful Darkness by Kami Garcia & Margaret Stohl {review}
21. A Game of Thrones by George R.R Martin {review}
22. A Clash of Kings by George R.R Martin {review}
23. The Crystal Cave by Mary Stewart {review}
24. The Girl in the Steel Corset by Kady Cross {review}
25. The Evolution of Mara Dyer by Michelle Hodkin {review}
26. Wither by Lauren Destefano {review}
27. Carrier of the Mark by Leigh Fallon {review}
28. The Enchantress by Michael Scott {review}
29. City of Bones by Cassandra Clare {review}
30. Wicked by Gregory Maguire {review}
I'm pretty happy with this mix of books, but considering how much I change my mind all the time, it's likely that this list will see some shifts over the coming year. In 2012 I managed to surpass that 15 books required for the Trying level by 4 books, so wish my luck for my goal of 30 books in 2013!
I'm joining this one too. I hope I actually past the mark next year.
