Start date: Dec 19th 2017
Hopefully end date before Dec 19th 2019

I'm in for level Quick as Bunny but hope to finish within one year - if I get 6 books released after today in time from my libraries
I'm not good in reading books from a given list so I sorted my available books according to task and listed at least twice as much and will read as many as I need from those
pre-GR means bought 2014 or earlier - I joined GR 12/31/14
