Top Ten Tuesday -- Fall TBR List

Top Ten Tuesday is an original feature/weekly meme created at The Broke and the Bookish.Each week we will post a new Top Ten list complete with one of our bloggers’ answers. Everyone is welcome to join.  If you can’t come up with ten, don’t worry about it—post as many as you can!

The year is coming to an end!!!!  And I have so many books yet to read!  I decided to focus this list on some of the challenges I can complete. Here are my top 10:

  1. The Angel's Game by Carlos Ruiz Zafon -- I keep putting this book off.  Don't know why because I absolutely loved The Shadow of the Wind. (Completes Sub-Genre Challenge, Dusty Bookshelf Challenge)
  2. Children of Men by P.D. James -- Another book that's been sitting around forever. (Helps complete Dystopia Challenge and Book to Movie Challenge, Dusty Bookshelf Challenge)
  3. 1984 by George Orwell -- A classic that I haven't read in many many years. (Helps complete Dystopia Challenge, Dusty Bookshelf Challenge)
  4. The Road by Cormac McCarthy -- I've heard mixed reviews about this book.  Hope I like it!  (Helps complete Dystopia Challenge, Monthly Key Word Challenge, Book to Movie Challenge)
  5. Billionaire Wins the Game -- Some fluffy romance to even out the heavy reads. (Helps complete Romance Challenge, Monthly Key Word Challenge, Ebook Challenge)
  6. Her Ladyship's Companion by Evangeline Collins -- Another fluffy romance.  This one's been hanging out for awhile now. (Helps complete Romance Challenge, Dusty Bookshelf Challenge))
  7. The Sandman Vol. 11 and 12 -- Really love this series.  I want to finish the main series this year. (Helps complete Neil Gaiman Challenge, Seriously Seres Challenge)

  9. Locke and Key Vol. 6 -- Waiting and waiting for this volume to make it to the library.  I may have to wait until I go back to Indiana and get it from that library on my mom's card. Must read the conclusion! (Completes Graphic Novel Challenge)
  10. The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas -- Carry over from my Summer TBR.  Still really want to read this one, it just keeps getting overlooked... (Helps complete Classics Challenge, Blogger Recommendations Challenge, Book to Movie Challenge)
