I’ve been looking at the Bucket List Challenge for a while, but since I am also participating in the 35 and my main goal is to reduce my TBR list, I was wondering how to distinguish Bucket selections rather than just selecting 9 books I've already read from my 35 list and placing them on my Bucket List. Therefore, I have come up with a set of criteria to help me choose. I've decided that a Bucket List book must fit two or more of these criteria:

(1) I must have owned the book for several years (or owned it previously and gave it away because I never read it).

(2) The book must be on WWE as a book that’s listed, been nominated or won an award.

(3) I’ve started the book before but never finished it.

(4) The book must have some crossover appeal.

Using these criteria, this is the list I’ve compiled:

1. Margaret Atwood, The Handmaid’s Tale

2. Hermann Hesse, The Glass Bead Game

3. Aldous Huxley, Brave New World

4. Lois Lowery, The Giver

5. Ray Bradbury, The Illustrated Man

6. Patrick Suskind, Perfume

7. Richard Adams, Watership Down

8. Cormac McCarthy, The Road

9. H. P. Lovecraft, The Call of Cthulhu

I think it would be interesting to hear how others have chosen your books for you Bucket List Challenge.
