Age Book Challenge

This book challenge is to read a book from each year of your life, including birth year and the current year. The only rules for the challenge are that none of the books can be ones that have been read before and each author can only appear on the list once. There are three books on my list that I’ve read a chapter or two of several years ago and then got sidetracked, but I never finished them. They’re on here so I can finish them. The rest I’ve not read before, though some I’ve read other books by the author.

I came up with this list in November 2012 and started it in January 2013. My goal was to finish it in 2013, but I didn’t quite make it, so I’m continuing it until I do finish it. I’ve added a new book for 2014 and swapped out two other books. One was too graphic for my taste and another was so boring I couldn’t stand reading another moment of it. So, here is my current list! The one(s) that is (are) in bold is (are) what I’m listening to and/or reading now.
