I noticed when I started adding books to this list that 1) I added whole series of books to my TBR at once and 2) I was already attending to the oldest series on my TBR through other challenges for 2018. So I decided to take a slightly different approach.

These are the 10 oldest books on my TBR that are not already being attended to by other challenges and if part of a series, only one book is represented here. I think that is in the spirit of the challenge... to get those oldest books taken care of ;-)
