Many are ones that I keep putting off for various reasons and I just need to resolve to read them! I can&#39;t wait to read Dickens with you this year. :)<br /><br />Words - I&#39;m avoiding challenges again this year (except for the loosest ones) but I sort of wish that I had a few to help me get through some of these plans!<br /><br />Anothercookie - The only problem is that it doesn&#39;t make a very large dent in the TBR. ;) And I will definitely watch to see if you manage to end up with only 10 unread books on the shelf!<br /><br />Vasilly - I&#39;m excited to read Wonderstruck. I think I might read it with the kid as we really enjoyed reading Hugo Cabret together. And Doomsday Book will probably be one of my next reads. I&#39;m very excited about it!<br /><br />Trish - I fully agree. There are years and years of books that are better than 90% of what comes out each new year. We can&#39;t allow those books to be forgotten in the flood of new shinies!<br /><br />Jenners - It&#39;s a grand goal! And we put those books onto the shelves for a reason, right? It&#39;s time to read them!Kristen M.http://www.blogger.com/profile/02335598194501733541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-754919688510890076.post-71453050101083546402012-01-03T13:41:13.937-08:002012-01-03T13:41:13.937-08:00I&#39;m working on reading from my shelves too!Jennershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08044537551139633301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-754919688510890076.post-709859534854528062012-01-02T08:37:56.351-08:002012-01-02T08:37:56.351-08:00What great goals!! And I&#39;m secretly happy to see so many people reading books from their shelves (tired of seeing so many posts for books that aren&#39;t even out yet!). <br /><br />Hope you have a very happy new year. Quiet and peaceful.Trishhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17225576485797030511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-754919688510890076.post-31996757938369434132012-01-02T08:32:26.436-08:002012-01-02T08:32:26.436-08:00Good luck on your goals! I looked at your tbr pile on LibraryThing. Wonderstruck is a great book. 1Q84 and Doomsday Book are on my reading list for this year.

Mine&#39;s a tad different with having 10 unread books on the shelf come end of year (which is very ambitious) and reading at least 10 non-fiction books! <br /><br />Also, more international books is always good - I&#39;ve been reading approximately ten annually, but would quite like that number to go up. <br /><br />Happy reading in 2012 :o)anothercookiecrumbleshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12295036544621940335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-754919688510890076.post-91765513678189114692012-01-01T14:29:14.972-08:002012-01-01T14:29:14.972-08:00I also plan to read lots of international books, with the 52 countries challenge. see links t all my 2012 challenges at the end of my 2011 recap: http://wordsandpeace.com/2011/12/30/year-of-reading-2011/wordsandpeace.comhttp://wordsandpeace.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-754919688510890076.post-42764349444238235062012-01-01T14:01:46.362-08:002012-01-01T14:01:46.362-08:00I&#39;ve read several of your To Read list - I think you&#39;ll really enjoy Rushdie&#39;s Haroun and the Sea of Stories, Oryx and Crake is seriously disturbing but I need to re-read it soon (I liked the parallel The Year of the Flood), Gaskell&#39;s North and South was different to how I imagined it would be, and I really enjoyed Remarkable Creatures. <br /><br />I have 1Q84 on my list for this year, too, and the Tesla bio really appeals to me.<br /><br />Good luck with the Dickens challenge - I&#39;ve only promised to try and read three of his books.Tracyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03070070360087765540noreply@blogger.com
