I'm officially signing up for the 2015 TBR Challenge hosted by Adam at Roof Beam Reader. I've signed up every year since he started this deal, but I have yet to successfully complete it. Here's my chance. :)
Basically, you pick 12 titles you've been meaning to read for ages and ages (you get 2 alternates too) and you set a goal to get them READ by year's end. I usually start strong but stop pulling from the list come June/July. NOT THIS YEAR.
Here are my titles:
- Lady Audley's Secret by Mary Elizabeth Braddon
- The Song of the Lark by Willa Cather
- Uncle Tom's Cabin by Harriet Beecher Stowe
- The Remains of the Day by Kazuo Ishiguro
- John Adams by David McCullough
- The Tenant of Wildfell Hall by Anne Bronte
- The Dark Mirror by Juliet Marillier
- The Old Curiosity Shop by Charles Dickens
- Coriolanus by William Shakespeare
- The Comedy of Errors by William Shakespeare
- Moll Flanders by Daniel Defoe
- The Poisonwood Bible by Barbara Kingsolver
- Going After Cacciato by Tim O'Brien
- The Jungle by Upton Sinclair
(more from me soon!)
This looks like a great year of reading. Although I've read most of these authors, I've actually only read ONE of these books (The Jungle). That's insane. I did assign a Kingslover essay in my English Rhet/Comp course this semester - she's getting a lot of attention these days, which is good. :)
ReplyDeleteGood luck (and welcome back!)
I'm reading The Sing of the Lark right now! Love Cather.
ReplyDeleteWe have Lady Audley's Secret in common - mine's for another challenge, but I'm aiming to get to it soon :)
ReplyDelete(Welcome back, by the way xxx)
Hi! xx Oh my. John Adams was my best read in 2014. You'll LOVE it.
ReplyDeleteYes, and then watch the HBO miniseries, if you haven't already! It starred Paul Giamatti as John and Laura Linney as Abigail, and it was awesome.
DeleteWelcome back!
ReplyDeleteGreat choices.... I loved Coriolanus, by far one of my favorites from Shakespeare. The Remains of the Day is a bit slow, but I love Ishiguro's beautiful prose.
Good luck with the challenge! ;)
I keep wanting to pick-up Coriolanus and then don't. I really should get to it one of these days.
DeleteI really should do this, but I don't even know how I would narrow my TBR down that far. :)
ReplyDeleteOoh, Lady Audley is awesome! As well as Tenant. :)
ReplyDeleteI LOVED Lady Audley's Secret! The Jungle, not so much, but I respect the historical significance.
ReplyDeleteAnd I look forward to reading your blog again.
DeleteHi I am so grateful I found your blog, I really found you by mistake, while I was looking on Bing for something else, Regardless I am here now and would just like to say cheers for a remarkable post and a all round interesting blog (I also love the theme/design), I don’t have time to read through it all at the minute but I have saved it and also added in your RSS feeds, so when I have time I will be back to read a great deal more, Please do keep up the fantastic work.
