TBR Pile Challenge Update

I absolutely LOVED this challenge in 2013 and 2014. This challenge is hosted by Roof Beam Reader. The challenge is to make a list of 12 books to read by January 1, 2015 and complete them by the end of the year. The books must also have been published before 2014.

Like last year, my TBR Challenge included book that cross-list with my Classics Club Challenge.

You'll see, below, that I fell short of this challenge by one book. I tried to read Dragonwings, but couldn't get past 50 pages. I still really want to read the remaining books, Mrs. Frisby and Hero and the Crown. I'll put them both on next year's list.

This is the first year in 3 attempts that I haven't completed this challenge. Boo! Maybe it was a bad decision to put so many classics on it... I'll rethink that policy for 2016.
