TBR Pile Challenge

In an attempt to curb my book buying habit I'm going to participate in The Roof Beam Reader's 2013 TBR Pile Challenge.

The goal of the challenge is to read 12 books from my TBR pile that have been there at LEAST a year. 
Select 12 books and 2 alternates (in case a couple of the 12 are unfinishable), read and review them all in 2013.
My Final Selections
1.  Lonesome Dove by Larry McMurtry
2.  Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim by David Sedaris
3.  To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee   (Completed 2/2/13)
4.  The Kitchen House by Kathleen Grissom (Completed 7/18/13)
5.  Between Shades of Grey by Ruta Sepetys
6.  The Post-Birthday World by Lionel Shriver
7.  An Abundance of Katherines by John Green
8.  The Poisonwood Bible by Barbara Kingsolver (Completed 3/4/13)
9.  Going too Far by Jennifer Echols (Completed 1/6/13)
10.  The Glass Castle by Jeanette Walls
11.  1984 by George Orwell
12.  Virtuosity by Jessica Martinez  (Completed 1/1/13)

  1. Welcome to the 2013 TBR Challenge! I'm glad you're joining us. I don't know most of the books on your list, but 1984 is incredible and of course everyone should read To Kill a Mockingbird. Also, I love John Green!

    Good luck! Looking forward to your thoughts! :)
