Overview

If you’re anything like me, you have a TBR list a mile long. How are we meant to go read the ones at the beginning of the ever expanding list? Or the latest added with such a demanding backlog? 

Here’s a solution! The challenge is to read 20 books, 10 each of the earliest and latest added to your TBR, to help with getting through the backlog and the newest additions.
