From Deb at BTT: Okay–here was an interesting article by Christopher Schoppa in the Washington Post:

Avid readers know all too well how easy it is to acquire books — it’s the letting go that’s the difficult part. … During the past 20 years, in which books have played a significant role in both my personal and professional lives, I’ve certainly had my fair share of them (and some might say several others’ shares) in my library. Many were read and saved for posterity, others eventually, but still reluctantly, sent back out into the world.

But there is also a category of titles that I’ve clung to for years, as they survived numerous purges, frequent library donations and countless changes of residence. I’ve yet to read them, but am absolutely certain I will. And should. When, I’m not sure, as I’m constantly distracted by the recent, just published and soon to be published works.

So the question is this, “What tomes are waiting patiently on your shelves?”

Here’s my answer:

Wife In The North, by Judith O’Reilly (won this from Book Club Girl)

The Story of Edgar Sawtelle, by David Wroblewski (purchased this one)

So Long At The Fair, by Christina Schwarz (won this from A Bookworm’s Dinner)

There is a ton more, but these are the three that are calling my name right now. I love giveaways and participating in them has become sort of a contest to me. I’m always thrilled to get a package in the mail. It’s just like Christmas!

Okay, enough of the Christmas talk. Holidays are coming too quick as it is.

What’s the one book that you have been dying to read but haven’t had a chance to pick up yet?
