I started a similar challenge 4 years ago in the Wacky Reading Challenge group. I finished all but 6 of (65) before the group disbanded. Is there any way I could transfer my work to this challenge and finally get it finished?

That would not be fair to other members.

Read Your Age ChallengeRead a book published in each year that you've been alive.
I started this project in December, having read about someone doing it, but didn't find a goodreads group doing it until today. An added challenge for me is that I've committed to read them in order, without repeating any author! This will be a good place to keep track of my books read for this challenge. Not sure I can finish it in 12 months, but hopefully eventually.
