First I thought that I’m too old for this shit. The amount of books would be horrendous. On second thought, however, I realized I could work my way backwards, one decade at a time, and see how far in to the past I’ll reach. Hence, my first commitment would be the years 2010-2018. Here we go, the titles are in English, if possible.
UPDATE #1.
Easy peasy. I'll increase my goal to 2000-2018, i.e. 19 books.
