I have read a LOT of these books already, but for this month I'm planning on reading Water for Elephants.

I've read 13 of these, but have several more waiting on my TBR shelves. The Help is my real life book group read for next month so maybe that should be one to aim for.

I signed up for the The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society by Mary Ann Shaffer.
I had it on the list for this year so I just bumped it up to this month.

Hmmm. Turns out I've read a great many of these, but what's more surprising is I have 11 of them sitting unread on my shelf (the wishlist in reverse?) So I hope to read The Time Traveller's Wife, Room, Catching Fire, or Guns Germs and Steel for this challenge.

>2 norabelle414:, 3, 4 (I loved The Help and The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society and enjoyed Water for Elephants a lot as well.

Just finished Room and it was one of those books that you finish in one sitting. I couldn't put it down. I finished it a couple of hours ago and parts of the book are still running through my head.

This is a real challenge for me as there are only 8 books on the list that I haven't read. One I won't read, it has no interest for me - Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. I've got Room and The Thousand Autumns of Jacob de Zoet on order from the library, but I'm way down on the list for both of them so doubt I'll get them in March. Thankfully already I have The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle from the library.
