TBR Challenge... what i've been waiting for. yet again its late entry (but 5 months seems a long time to wait for next year, and i'll have probably forgotten/be too busy with january exams and re-takes by then) so here goes.
What stands out for me about this challenge is that your list has to be set in stone, wheras most challenges allow you to alter it, i think this is a good thing, should help to shift the stubbon tbrs of the shelf :P
I'm hoping that its alright if you use books that you've already started (most were admittedly started this year) as i find they're the worst sorts of tbrs for me (and i can count over 69 from where im sitting, not even thinking about the three underbed boxes full...) the only one thats really pushing it is the two towers, which i started years ago, but i really need something like this to help push those last few pages (also i was struggling to find 12 that were desperate tbrs, most are just hanging around waiting for my attention to fall on them. The idea is to read 12, 1 for each month (or for me, starting late, 2.4 per month or as many as i can this holiday!)
well, heres my list: (and im sure i'll regret some of the choices later, especially once i've discovered forgotten books, or remembered why i didnt get into them in the first place...)

- The Singing - Alison Croggon
