My nickname is Mo, but from your pic I think I could go by The Elder Maureen LOL
Put me down for 10 please! I might pick from 20 to start with first like some other people have done here, but I won't decide on them until closer to the 1st - I'm choosing from my to-read-own shelf and I'm still whittling that down week by week. :)30/30

I am in with 12. Instead of making my list at the beginning of the year I am going to hit random on the first of each month to see what book Goodreads recommends for me each month. Since I am forever adding and clearing out my to read list I figure this will give me a good chance at reading the books I add throughout the year.
I am combining this with my 25 books for 2017. 1. Grits
2. Double Whammy
3. The Assistants
4. Results May Vary
5. Vince and Joy
I admit I switched Double Dip for Double Whammy...I HAVE to read series in order!!
I'm going to go for 20 off my list...Many of these date back to 2012 or 2013 but a few are brand new so I think it is a great mix to tackle my to-read list:Progress: 20/20 Challenge Completed July 20 2017

Before doing this I went through a huge over haul of my TBR list so I'm like 1,000 less than I had before so all the books I pick are ones I want to read.
10 books!
Welcome everyone! Some of you already have your books drawn. For those of you that want to draw them as you go that's completely fine too! I find the process of drawing very exiting. A little too much maybe since I haven't completed yet. I hope you all have a great year of reading and of slimming down your TBR. Although let's be honest, most will have as many books added as read, right?

@Maureen- I just thought about the chances of me wanting to read or reading the book in the next year. If it's been there a long time chances are no but if the summary still excites me then I keep it. Also, I've read enough books to know what will make me happy and if the book doesn't have the greatest rating it's probably a dud.I've got to overhaul more often. This helped me to rediscover books I wanted to read ages ago so I have them in my mind to read for next year.
