I participated in this challenge (hosted by Adam @ Roofbeam Reader) in 2011 and 2012. Now that I’m full swing into book blogging, I want to give it another go!

- Empty Mansions by Bill Dedman
- Quiet by Susan Cain
- Brain on Fire by Susannah Calahan (alternate)
- Thank-you for Your Service by David Finkel (alternate)
I think I’ve got a good selection this year. I am very interested in all the books on this list, even the alternatives. Have you read any of these books? Will you participate in the 2015 TBR Pile Challenge?
I have read, and highly recommend, Empty Mansions. And The Silmarillion of course. I think I'm going to keep an unofficial TBR challenge list for myself this year. Maybe next year I'll join in officially. Good luck!
Thank-you! One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest is one of the first books I added to Goodreads in 2012. Hopefully this will finally be the year I get to it.
That looks like a fun list– the four I've read (numbers 1, 2, 6 and 13) were all very good in their own way. I hope you ejoy them! My mother read me The Silmarillion out loud when I was ten or so….she was a good mother!
I'm doing this challenge too! Looks like you have a GREAT list. I really liked Quiet and our library book club did Empty Mansions last year — I didn't take part, but everyone seemed to like it. Good luck with your challenge, and Happy New Year!
Glad to hear it! That sounds like a great experience to have growing up. I can only imagine how awed I would have been to have heard such a story at that age. I didn't read anything about Middle-Earth until I was 12.
Good luck with your challenge as well! I didn't realize Empty Mansions was such a popular book. I'm really looking forward to it now.
[…] TBR Pile: 5/12. On track. I’ve tried two books that really weren’t for me, so I better enjoy the remaining! […]
