That's brilliant Netanella! Great job!
I'm nowhere near done with mine yet but I have plenty time still.

Thanks, Lady! I was fortunate that I found Jim Butcher's Dresden Files, which helped with several years. How are you doing?

Awesome, Netanella!! Congratulations!

Well I was five books away from finishing and life stepped in. Guess I'll have to give it another attempt sometime.

FINALLY DONE!! I've come to the conclusion, I don't like older book's. I found it very hard to find book's from 70's, 80's and some of the 90's, so just had to take what I could get!

Woohoo!! Well done Sandra! Another one bites the dust. And great job finding the books from the 70's and 80's. I don't think I have any book before 2000 😱

I think you're better off! Think in future I won't be reading much before 2000 myself!

Romance Readers Reading Challenges

Warning: Not for the faint-of-heart! Really hardcore challenge!

Inspired by my PNR challenge, I'm launching A Lifetime of Books Challenge. The goal is to read a book published for every year in your life. Still here reading?

Very basic rules: If you are in your 20's, you are given a year to complete it, in your 30's a year and a half, in your 40's 2 years. Add six months for every extra decade.

Your clock starts ticking the moment you posted your list.

Anybody up for the challenge?

Hi Slytherpuff,

If you want to change your challenge to something other than the way the rules are stated, you are welcome to post it in the Create Your Own Challenge thread. You can post anything you want there, any way you would like to structure your challenge.

Have fun with it!

I’d completely forgotten that I wanted to do this one when I hit a big-O birthday...oops. But, I’m only 2 years into the decade so I’m going to give it a go! (Starting Sept 1, 2018 thru February 28, 2021)
