I love this idea, but one problem is that a lot of the books in my TBR list aren't ones I can get my hands on immediately. So I think I'll randomize and if the top 3ish books aren't ones I can get right away, I'll put them on hold and slot them further down? Or maybe just re-sort until I get something doable?

My goal is 12 books for this challenge.

1. St. Peter's Fair March 26
2. Ghost Train to the Eastern Star March 31
3. An Ember in the Ashes April 10
4. Ruby August 17
5. Tomorrow Will Be Better September 1
6. LaRose September 30
7. Exposure October 5
8. Three Bags Full October 22
9. The House on the Lagoon December 9
10. The Arrival October 27
11. Ancillary Justice December 22
12. The Girl with All the Gifts December 2

Finished Undone, bringing me to 2/10!

I everyone! After another comment about the incredible length of our TBR lists, I though it would be good to add this challenge to my list of challenges for 2017.

So I decided to "contribute" 10 books for the following 9 months. Here's my random list!

1. The Magpie Lord by K.J. Charles
2. Afrofuturism: The World of Black Sci-Fi and Fantasy Culture by Ytasha L. Womack
3. The Everything Box by Richard Kadrey
4. My Brilliant Friend by Elena Ferrante
5. Faith Versus Fact: Why Science and Religion are Incompatible by Jerry A. Coyne
6. The Wanting Seed by Anthony Burgess
7. The Assault on Reason by Al Gore
8. East of the West: A Country in Stories by Miroslav Penkov
9. Congo Inc. : Le testament de Bismarck by In Koli Jean Bofane
10. The House of Discarded Dreams by Ekaterina Sedia

I'm happy there's a couple of books in here that are books I already purchased, so I don't need to get copies in addition to the ones I already have!

Wish me luck!
