Someone in the Kat's Booknerds group on Facebook said they saw this posted by The Well-Read Wyvern on Instagram. But I cannot find an initial post [if you are better at searching Instagram than I am and can find it, let me know!]. The idea is to read one book from every year of your life. I thought about it and decided to give it a shot...and if you like the idea I say go for it as well!
A better look at the books and the place where I will check off my list may be found HERE.
These are the books I've committed to, but I may read other books from appropriate years, so I will keep a list here as well.
