Your goal is to read a book published every year since you were born, or you can choose a year something special happened (e.g, you..."

so it doesnt have to be the first year the book was published, just the year of the particular ISBN that you have?

Ok, I'm in for 27 books. I am starting from the year that I was born. :)

Cassie, that's up to you. I'm going with the first published date, but you could choose to do it another way.

Welcome to the challenge, folks!

Thank you.....Im trying to get first time published for as many books as I can.

[Cassandra]

Goodreads is pretty handy because it will usually have the publication year of the edition followed by "(first published 1985)." So I go off of that date. But if you can't track down a first publishing date, feel free to use the one from the edition you have!

I will go from the year I was born (1996)

I was born in 1970, which is too daunting for me to use for this, so I'm going to be a little less crazy (but still possibly crazy) and go with 1981, which was significant for me in some huge ways, the biggest of which was probably the death of one of my best friends at the time. I'm following my heart on this one...I was tempted to find something more recent!
