Of course, that's sort of hard to do when I'm away from my bookshelves--but still! A new year, a new TBR pile!

(Alternatively, I will read one chapter per month and finish the year with it...) (Already I am waffling, which does not bode well for the completion of that book.) <br /><br />One of the books on my list has got to be my longest possessed never-read book: <i>Presumed Innocent</i>. I was given that book in *college* by someone who said I reminded them of one of the main characters. 20 years later, I'm finally going to read it!<br /><br />I have committed to dumping books in 2014 if I do not like them so this might finally be the year I pick up one of the alternates. (<i>Hunchback of Notre Dame</i>, I am looking at you -- I am skeptical as to whether you will keep my interest... we shall see.)kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07832228313612518377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-761784460667108854.post-1745777557762536352013-12-30T23:02:19.350-05:002013-12-30T23:02:19.350-05:00K,
I was totally wondering if you were going to ...K, <br /><br />I was totally wondering if you were going to put Don't Know Much About History on your shelf for the third year in a row! My only repeater is Purple Hibiscus, which I *meant* to read in December, but I forgot it at work! So I guess I'll just get to it in January. <br /><br />I think the biggest thing for me is that I intentionally dialed back some of the huge, long non-fiction books and tried to stock it with more novels. I'm afraid that since I'm starting graduate school, I won't have time for 800 pages about xyz war, etc. <br /><br />Excited!<br />JennyJennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13205737257301534685noreply@blogger.com
