In 2022 I hit one of “those” birthdays; this one completely messed with my head. For reasons that no longer seem at all logical, I decided to read a book published each year I’ve been alive. This is the result. Some years have more than one book read (before you just add up the number of covers and come to the wrong answer).

@Helen50 @bookstodon I'm interested in reading a book published for every year I've been alive. How did you go about finding your books and the genre?

A mixture - books I had on myself (either read or to read) it was a case of check the copyright date. For translated fiction I allowed myself either the original date or the translation date.
I used the 1001 books to read before you die list, as that gives publication dates.
Beyond that I used www.librarything.com and good ole google for filling in years. I didn't select specifically by genre, I read what came up, really!
Good luck!
