I think I'll skip this challenge. It looks complicated and I probably don't have that many older books, especially not if I want to focus on what is already on my ereader.

as per the note, Lusie, you can re-draw card/s if there's nothing that match on your tbr... you can always start with 5 and see how you go?

Thanks Tien. I'll think about it.

Lusie, I know I'm going to have to redraw some too!

I started with a list of 52, but there were so many i couldn't do so it was very discouraging.Maybe I should try again

I'll go for 12 again.

I picked 5 cards

1. 4 of Clubs
2. Q of Clubs
3. A of Hearts
4. 6 of Spades
5. Q of Hearts

Ok. I really have a ton of books that I want to clear off my shelves. I'm in! Goal is Level 4 ~ 52 total books

Going to play month by month, doing a 10 card draw and trying to read as many as possible for other challenges. Each month I'll clear the ones I haven't read and start over with a new deal of 10.
