Joining the 2015 TBR Pile Challenge

Recently three challenges have been announced that relate to whittling down the many books in our TBR piles. I participated in all three of them last year and I will be joining the challenges again this year.

In this post I list the books I will read for the SIXTH ANNUAL “TBR Pile Challenge!” hosted by Roof Beam Reader. 

One of the differences in this challenge is that each of the books must have been on your bookshelf or “To Be Read” list for AT LEAST one full year. This means the book cannot have a publication date of 1/1/2014 or later. 

There are specific rules and I will refer you to this page if you are interested in joining in.
