2014 TBR Challenge

I've been so out of it I missed this! I loved the challenge in 2013 (I didn't do much by way of reporting things, but I did update my post a few times). It was a good way to catch up on those books that I've been "meaning to get to." lol

What, exactly, is this, you ask? From the creator herself:

Welcome to 2014 TBR Pile Reading Challenge!

We all have those books. We buy them, win them, they're gifted to us.. Then we put them up on a bookshelf and there they stay, collecting dust, waiting for the time when we'll finally decide to pick them up..

Join us on a quest to dust off your TBR Pile and read all the books you've been telling yourself you'll read next time you'll get a chance.. This is your chance! And we've got PRIZES!!! :D

If you want more information, visit Evie's Site and see what the guidelines are, etc.

Okay, so there's levels to choose from based on how many books you plan to read:

• 1-10 - A Firm Handshake
• 11-20 - A Friendly Hug
• 21-30 - First Kiss
• 31-40 - Sweet Summer Fling
• 41-50 - Could this be love?
• 50+ - Married With Children

I think I'm going to go with a Sweet Summer Fling for this challenge. If I exceed it, great! Last year I exceeded early, so we'll see. :)

So, this year's book list... let's see... *puts thinking cap on*... Some of these are going to be repeats from last year's list that I never got to. *hangs head in shame* I imagine there will be others I read not from this list, but I'll add those when I do. :)

Um... that's only 10 books since March 5, and not all of them even count toward this challenge! Seriously, what is WRONG WITH ME?!?!  *sigh*

Hope you'll join us for the fun.
