Awesomevegan (AKA JenReads) (awesomevegan) | 468 comments "Back to the Future"
As we move into 2011 and all the books to come, let's also take a look back. This is a great way to help knock off some of those 2001-10 TBRs!

Duration: 1/1/11 - 12/31/11
Rules: Read 10-66 books. For each year 2001-2011, read the number of books published in each year that corresponds to the last digit(s) of each year. Read 11 books from 2011, 10 books from 2010, 9 books from 2009, and so on.

**Participants can choose which year(s) they would like to read. But, you must read the full # of books for the year(s) you pick. So, if you choose to read only books published in 2010, you must read 10 books, and so on.

You may list your books as you read or right away, it's up to you. All formats allowed. One non-PNR/UF book allowed per year. Let's all read something new to us, but if you would like to re-read an old fave, you may include re-reads that were read at least 1 yr ago. Anthologies are allowed, you might find a new author you'll enjoy in 2011.
