I've come to the not-so-sad conclusion that my TBR can no longer sustain this challenge in the way I've always done it, which is to read from the year 2000 or 2010 to present. But I no longer have enough books published after 2015-16 to match the years. But that is a good thing because it means I've whittled down my TBR - right, that's a good thing, right!?!?

Anyway, I'll do Level 2 (2006-2008 + 2025) this year which will help me focus on finding newly published books.

The problem is that I still have a bunch of books from 2013-2014 on my TBR... So, I think I'll do a little side challenge for myself where I will add those two years to my list.
