Elizabeth's Oldest First Challenge

[Elizabeth]

So I did this the last couple years but didn't make a topic for it. My goal is to read all the books I added in the oldest year on my list. I joined in 2012 so two years ago I read at least book one in all the series I added that year, then 2013. This year it will be 2014 and so on...

[Niki Hawkes, I made it past GOTM... barely]

This is such a cool challenge. Mark me down for joust and dragon weather. Possibly for twelve kings. All will be rereads but it’ll go towards my audiobook completion challenge.

Sure thing! It'll probably be next year sometime, but I'll let you know when I want to start.
