Pick books from your TBR to read with the following criteria: 1. the oldest book (ie. the longest it has been in your TBR) 2. a book given to you for Christmas (if you didn't get one, read one of your most recent purchases however do NOT use this as an excuse to go out to buy one!) 3. a book where the author's first name starts with the same letter as yours (eg, if your name is Lisa then read a book whose author's first name starts with L. If there isn't one in your TBR, then go for the closest in alphabetical order, ie. K or M, etc) 4. As 3 but for surnames 5. Close your eyes and pick a random book from your TBR 6. a book first published in the last decade (2000-2009) 7. a book with a picture of a person / people on its cover 8. a book on your TBR that is also on the 1001 books to read before you die list (it could be the original or updated list) 9. a book which is a sequel or part of a series you've been reading 10. a book related to your New Year's resolution. If you haven't got a resolution, then read a book relating to something you are looking to do this year (ie. if you're planning to travel around Europe, then read something about Europe, it could be a historical work on a place you're planning to visit, etc)
Post your TBR list in this thread and then come back to cross off the titles as you read them. The first one to read all ten books on their list will be congratulated by all!
