Wow, that's a very impressive list! I wouldn't know where to begin, although I've always had a soft spot for Zelazny.
ReplyDeletePerhaps you could review something that has not received a lot of attention and deserves a review.
I'm curious to see what you'll choose!
The Overnight Bestseller

Seriously? You give an amazing list like this and expect us to choose?
ReplyDeleteWell, okay. The Night Circus. :)
My TBR wouldn't even fit in one blog post...there's over 400 now and that's just the ones I've remembered to put on Goodreads as I've got them.
ReplyDelete@Michael - Zelazney eh? Yeah, I've heard really good things!
ReplyDelete@Asheley - yep I'm super excited that I have The Night Circus from the library!
@Ellie - oh, this is just my severely edited TBR...my actual TBR is almost 700 titles long!!!
What great books in your TBR! I'm envious that you have so much good reading ahead of you! :--)
ReplyDeleteI like your plan for reading one from each category to get it done. I've got over 300 books in my home on a bookshelf and two bags in front of it waiting to be read. And I keep buying or checking out more! :-)
ReplyDeleteI feel your pain -- my TBR list is gigantic, and it grows by about a book a day. Crazy!
ReplyDeleteIf you really can't decide, why not go in alphabetical order? Or in the order in which you have the books listed here? Or pick a number between 1 and whatever, and that's the book you read? Role a die, have a friend pick, or create a poll between one book from each genre and post it here. Nothing like letting fate or other people decide for you. :)
Such great suggestions - thanks everyone!
ReplyDeleteLove, you and I are in the same boat! I think one of my reading goals for 2012 is going to be to really try to focus on reading books on my TBR list, especially those that I own!
ReplyDeleteKat, I would love to read a lot of the books on your list as well, you have some really good ones on your list! I have been seeing some really good reviews for The Dovekeepers, I am hoping to get to it soon.
