Sign-Up: The 2022 TBR Pile Challenge

I am happy that Adam @ RoofBeamReader has brought back his TBR challenge. The challenge is to make a list of 14 books (12 on the main list and 2 alternates) from which you commit yourself to reading at least 12 this year. Specifying it further, Adam writes, “Each of these 12 books must have been on your bookshelf or “To Be Read” list for AT LEAST one full year. This means the book cannot have a publication date of 1/1/2021 or later (any book published in the year 2020 or earlier qualifies, as long as it has been on your TBR pile). Caveat: Two (2) alternates are allowed, just in case one or two of the books ends up in the “did not finish (DNF)” pile.” More details can be found over here.

Here is my list of books. I have chosen physical books for this challenge, more than half of them in Hindi, and most of them related to the history of India:

1. The Life and Ideas of Shaheed Bhagat Singh (ed) Dr. Vir Singh
2. Bhagat Singh and Comrades by Malwinder Jit Singh Waraich
3. Sangharsh ke Path Par by Tansukh Ram Gupt
4. Ganesh Shankar Vidyarthi ki Jail Diary (ed) Suresh Salil
5. Rang Basanti by Pratap Sehgal
6. Devtaswaroop Bhai Parmanand by Harivansh
7. Mera Sandesh by Bhai Parmanand
