20/20 Challenge completed!

Finished Storm Front which has been on my TBR list since 2012. Next year I should just do my 2012 list, I think. Probably take the next 2 years, come to think of it. I still have 67 more books from 2012 to read. Sigh.

I have one I DNF'd and one I removed from TBR because I realized I really don't want to read it. Either way, they are off the TBR which is great. I made two more randomized selections so I can truly read 12.
