Thanks for your interest in the TBR Pile Challenge! I will go ahead and add you to the list of participants – you’re not that late, after all.
The list actually requires 12 books + 2 alternates (if wanted), so you’ll either need to make all 12 of your books mandatory or add 2 more books if you want to have alternates. 
Thanks for adding me! I appreciate it. And I know how to count, I swear
I’ll correct my list right now! Looking forward to participating in the challenge!
I’ve been meaning to read A Fearful Symmetry and White Teeth too. Wish I put them on my TBR Pile Challenge list! I’ve read a few of the others on your list and they’re well worth reading. Good luck!
