TBR Challenge 2009

I didn't do to well in 2008 with this challenge. I only read 2 books off of my original list and 3 off of my alternate list. So, I am going to attempt this challenge again in 2009. I really want to get some books off of my shelves (to make room for new ones - LOL). This challenge is once again being hosted by MizB.

The TBR (to be read) Challenge has some basic rules. You need to choose your 12 books before January 1st, 2009 and after the start of the challenge - the books cannot be changed. However, you can create a list 0f 12 alternates and you can substitute from that list. Audio and eBooks are allowed but re-reads are not. You can overlap with other challenges.

So, without further ado...here are my 2 lists:
