Nothing to worry about. I just read too many books the last months, that I could not figure out, when they took place. So september should change everything.

Update to message #56 I am now on 10 books and 905 years

10. 1963 - The Ocean at the End of the Lane by Neil Gaiman 31/08/18 - No particular date is mentioned but it's definitely 1960s and the character is looking back on his childhood from (I presume) the year the book was written (2013) so I just went back 50 years.

[Nina]

Update to message 8.

This challange is actually more difficult then I thought. The problem is not, that I read "only" 9 books since september, but I have just no clue when they are taking place, so I cannot count them towards the challenge.
But at least I met my traveld years goal, so that's something.
