There are no levels to this challenge, you just set your reading goal.  All books must be released prior to 2020, and must already be on your TBR List (I loved that this challenge was for a year older books, as well as restrictions on what books can count).  You don’t have to own the book before this challenge starts, but you have to have recorded somewhere that you wanted to read it — this can mean wishlists or for me I’ll be counting tags in my library apps.  My goal is 42 books (the answer to life, the universe, and everything)!  I’ll likely not be counting DNF’s, especially if I DNF prior to 50%.
