Thanks for the encouragement, Sassafrass! It does get discouraging when I pick a book for a year I've already read. But I'll get back on track.

Doing great, Ty!

On the Way to the Wedding-**- 15/10

Continuing my way through Julie Garwood's backlist. Updated Post #781: 22/29 with The Secret. Yay!

Updated Post 839. 10/28!

I just realized I'm almost halfway through my year....and only one third of the way through my books. :( I thought I'd be able to update as I read, but I keep reading books written in the same years! I guess I'll have to start searching for specific books for this challenge. But I am determined to finish!

It was the same for me! I was so glad when I found Julie Garwood's backlist and since then I've been able to cross off a lot.

http://www.likesbooks.com/top1002010r... is also a great resource to find some older good romances. You can do it!

Updated Post #781: 23/29 with Ransom. Another great book!

Oh wow. Thanks for that list Susanne! I'm moving this weekend and will be a couple blocks from the library. I have plans on utilizing that proximity...and now your link....to help me with this challenge.....since all the free books I've been downloading for kindle and nook are recent publications. :-)

December 1, 2012 - November 30, 2013

11/27

I have thought about doing this challenge... And I was looking at my birth year (1986) of the books on my shelves that I haven't read (too many I haven't read yet in addition to thousands on my Kindle)... I decided to check out the only book that my estranged late grandpa has given me when I was a tween on a rare visit from him: Last of the Breed by Louis L'Amour... That was the year I was born and I haven't read it!

I think I'll start with this one. I'll update as I go.

Wow! You're almost done! Only one more to go xD"

I'm done yaaaay :)

Being born in 1994 I definitely got off easy, but I'll do it anyways =D
I'm guessing since I'm closer to 20 than 10 I'll do a year rather than six months?

For this challenge I believe it's the original publishing or copyright date that you use.
