Paula | 227 comments I'm very much looking forward to this challenge, I have a number of books I'd like to get to that I seem to keep putting off.

I WANT to read the following:

Outlander (Outlander, #1) by Diana Gabaldon
Alcatraz A Definitive History of the Penitentiary Years by Michael Esslinger
11/22/63 by Stephen King
New York The Novel by Edward Rutherfurd
The Passage (The Passage #1) by Justin Cronin

We'll see what I get done, I'll list them as I finish my books here.

Melinda (melindasreadingroom) I love the Pendergast series by Preston and Child. I also loved The Passage (very gripping and a definite page turner).
