Here's my TBR-list for 2012. I reserve the right to change the list if I end up reading any of these books before January 1st ;-)

1. The Road by Cormac McCarthy
2. Paganini kontrakten by Lars Kelper
3. Peter Pan's NeverWorld by Peter Von Brown
4. Breaking Free by Beth Moore
5. Leap of Faith: Memoirs of an Unexpected Life by Queen Noor Al-Hussein
6. The Maze Runner by James Dashner
7. Down Under by Bill Bryson
8. Bella Tuscany by Frances Mayes
9. The Stolen Child by Keith Donohue
10. Who Killed My Daughter? by Lois Duncan
11. Pathfinder by Orson Scott Card
12. Certain Girls by Jennifer Weiner

Finished "The Maze Runner". 4/5

I know! But then all of his books seem to be, so I guess I should have known to expect it.

Finished "Down Under". 5+/5. Amazing book!

Finished "Leap of Faith", 4/5. Fascinating book and an amazing love story :)

Finished "Who Killed My Daughter?", 4.5/5, devastating book, but so well written!

Finished "Breaking Free Day By Day". 3/5. Hadn't realized it was a devotional, but it had some good thoughts, so I'm not too disappointed.

Finished "Paganini kontrakten". 4.5/5. Brilliant book - possibly even better than his first book.

Abandoned "Bella Tuscany". I loved "Under the Tuscan Sun", so I had been looking forward to reading this sequel, but it just doesn't live up to my expectations. Rather than finding Frances Mayes writing engaging and charming as I did in UtTS, it just came across as boring and pretentious. I've read half the book in the hopes that it would improve, but am now reaching the sad conclusion that it probably won't. Life is too short for books I have to fight my way through.

Finished "Pathfinder". 4.5/5. Just as good as his other books :)

Finished "The Stolen Child". 3/5. Interesting, but sad - I don't think I'll be rereading this.

Finished "Peter Pan's NeverWorld". 4/5. If you liked J.M. Barrie's classic, I highly recommend this one :D

It can only be better than the official sequel that's for sure

Don't think I even knew there was an official sequel. Who wrote that one? Barrie himself? Or somebody else?

And welcome! :-D I'm glad you wanted to join my little group :)

Forgot to update this for quite awhile. Finished "Certain Girls", abandoned "The Road" - just couldn't take the writing style.

So that's me all done! :-D
