Genre Readers looking to expand discussion

I am bringing this challenge back this year since it seems to be one people like. It is also a great way to clean off your TBR shelf.

Pick 12 books (plus 2 alternatives) to read this year. You must pick and post them before you start the challenge, then at the end of the year see how many you finished.
