The detailed rules can be found on Bottle of Shine's blog; the challenge is called 342,745 Ways to Herd Cats.
So here's my list of ten books:
1. The Thirteenth Tale, by Diane Setterfield--destined to be a classic, about the mysterious life of a famous author.
2. The Sunne in Splendour, by Sharon Kay Penman--historical fiction about the life of Richard III. It's a long book, but absolutely fascinating.
3. The Meaning of Night, by Michael Cox--again, historical fiction, set in Victorian London.
4. The House at Riverton, by Kate Morton--upstairs-downstairs historical fiction about the mysterious death of an author, told from the point of view of a servant in the household.
5. Confessions of a Shopaholic, by Sophie Kinsella--chick lit, essentially; hillariously funny novel about a woman who loves to shop. First in a series.
6. Sin in the Second City, by Karen Abbott--historical nonfiction about two sisters who ran a brothel in Chicago in the 1890s.
7. I Was Told There'd Be Cake, by Sloane Crosley--essays by a twenty-something sometime-contributor to the Vollage Voice.
8. Bitter is the New Black, by Jen Lancaster--hysterically funny collection of essays.
9. The Pursuit of Love/ Love in a Cold Climate, by Nancy Mitford--a classic comedy about upper class English life.
10. Forever Amber, by Kathleen Winsor--historical fiction about the court of Charles II.
My books to read:
1. Whose Body? by Dorothy Sayers--complete
2. 740 Park, by Michael Gross
3, Dr. Zhivago, by Boris Pasternak
4. Les Miserables, by Victor Hugo

Hey who can complain when you are reading. LOL
Hello! I grabbed one of your recommendations for my Herding Cats challenge - "Bitter is the New Black". My cousin also said she enjoyed this book, so I'm eager to find out if I will as well.
Have a great day! :)
