Top Ten Tuesday

Top Ten Tuesday is an feature/weekly meme created at The Broke and the Bookish. This feature was created because they are particularly fond of lists at The Broke and the Bookish. Each week they will post a new Top Ten list that one of their bloggers at The Broke and the Bookish will answer. Everyone is welcome to join. Have fun with it!

Ten books I am going to read in winter


1. Sookie Stackhouse - series. This isn't one book, but I received ten first books of the series this week and I'm going to read all of them again. 


2. Divergent. I have seen so many bloggers talking about this and telling how great it is so I finally got copy of the book and can't wait to read it!


3. Unearthly. Haven't still read this but soon I will start reading. I have heard just great reviews of this book. 


4. Delirium. Somehow I had missed this book and found it at my local bookshop couple of weeks ago and decided to give it a go. After that I discovered that it was really popular book also. 


5. The Night Circus. I heard about this book on Nanowrimo forum and decided to read it. The summary sounds really interesting and I can't wait to start reading this one!


6. Clockwork Angel. I have read Cassandra Clare's The Mortal Instruments - series, and finally got a copy of this book. I really liked The Mortal Instruments and I am hoping this is good also. 


7. Anathema. I read couple reviews which said that this book was really good and decided to give it a go. I hope that Anathema will be a good read. 


8. Gone with the Wind. Yeah, haven't read this one either. So, I thought this would a good time read it, when I found a copy of it at my mother's place. 


9. Before I Fall. This book has been on my tbr - self for a long time. 


10. Frostbite. I have read the Vampire Academy, but for some reason never got around to start the next one. But now I really want to read the whole series and see how it ends. 

2012 TBR Pile Reading Challenge

You know the feeling when you have a lot of books sitting around your house and waiting to be read? On Goodreads I have 256 books to-be-read, and I add there more almost every day. That's why I decided to participate 2012 TBR Pile Reading Challenge. I add here all the books I'm going to read on December. 

Challenge Guidelines:

1. This challenge will run from Jan 1, 2012 - Dec 31, 2012.
2. As we would like to see quality reviews linked up to our monthly wrap-ups, only bloggers can enter. Sorry about that!
3. Any genre, length or format of book counts, as long as it is a book that's been sitting on your shelf for some time now. Only books released in 2011 and earlier! NO ARCs and 2012 fresh-off-the-press releases allowed!
4. You can list your books in advance or just put them in a wrap-up post. If you list them, feel free to change them as the mood takes you.
5. When you sign up in the linky, put the direct link to your post about joining the 2012 TBR PILE Reading Challenge (You need to include the info + host list + challenge button. You can also grab the button code and add it to your sidebar!)

7. Sign-ups will be open until Dec 15, 2012, so feel free to join at any time throughout the year.
8. At the end of each month one of the hosts will post a wrap-up. Every wrap-up will have it's unique theme, a mini-challenge, a giveaway and place for you to link up your reviews from this month. For each review you link up, you will get one entry in a drawing of one book of choice from Book Depository. It's open to INTERNATIONALS. For participating in the mini-challenge you'll get +1 entry in the giveaway.
9. If you miss a wrap-up post + giveaway, you can link up your reviews next month.Do not, however, try to link up one review twice - we will be checking ;)
