Surfing around some of the book blogs out there, I stumbled across the TBR (To Be Read) Challenge. The idea is to make a list of those books you’ve had on your to be read shelf and read at least 12 of them during 2008.
Unfortunately, I didn’t start this blog until the first quarter of 2008 and only found the challenge a few days ago. But I decided to go ahead and play anyway for the rest of the year and hopefully I can play along for the entire challenge in 2009.
So, here’s my list of books for the rest of 2008.
June: Empire of Ivory by Naomi Novak
July: Darkness of the Light by Peter David
August: Simple Favor by Jim Butcher
September: Prentice Alvin by Orson Scott Card
October: Slaughterhouse Five by Kurt Vonnegut
