TBR Pile Reading Challenge 2012

The 2012 TBR Pile Reading Challenge is a challenge where you try and read all or most of the books that have been sitting on your shelves for a long time! This is so that you can clean up your bookshelf and say that you read all the books on it! :) There's also some prizes!

Only books released in 2011 and earlier! NO ARCs and 2012 fresh-off-the-press releases allowed!

I am going for Level 3: A Sweet Kiss, which is 21-30 books. I will be posting a wrap-up post at the end of every month with the books I've read that month.

These are the hosts for the challenge:
