 Over the past years I have seen blog posts about this challenge, but I have never joined, and decided to take the plunge for next year. Here are the general rules per Adam from RoofBeamReader.com;

1. Read 12 books on my "to be read" list for at least one year, and books publication dates must be before 1/1/2014. Rereads are not allowed. There are two books I can add as a substitute in case we are not able to get through two of them on our original list.

2. Complete and final list of our books we will be reading, must be blogged by Jan 15, 2015.

3. Monthly Check-Ins early month on the 15th.
