I will try this.. I might be getting a little overzealous on the number of yearly challenges I can complete, but some of them will overlap anyway. I think I'll just go back to 2008; the year I got married. If I get those done quickly maybe I'll go back farther.2008:

Updated message 13. I'll aim for 41 starting with my year of birth and see how far I get.
First I thought that I’m too old for this shit. The amount of books would be horrendous. On second thought, however, I realized I could work my way backwards, one decade at a time, and see how far in to the past I’ll reach. Hence, my first commitment would be the years 2010-2018. Here we go, the titles are in English, if possible.UPDATE #1.
Easy peasy. I'll increase my goal to 2000-2018, i.e. 19 books.

Duration: January 1 - December 31, 2018
Your goal is to read a book published every year since you were born, or you can choose a year something special happened (e.g, you graduated, you got married, etc.) and read from that year.
I've decided to go for two books from every year since I graduated in 2011. This means a total of 16 books.

Your goal is to read a book published every year since you were born, or you can choose a year something special happened (e.g, you graduated, you got married, etc.) and read from that year.
This challenge will help us check out the literary styles from different years.
Tips:
1. The number of books you read is 2018 minus the year you choose plus one.
2. Goodreads has a great feature you can use to find books from certain years. Use this link then change 2010 to whatever year you're looking for.
-----
Example
Let's say I pick 2010 because that is the year I joined Goodreads.
2010: The Way of Kings
2011: Ready Player One
2012: The Martian
2013: The Goldfinch
2014: The Girl with all the Gifts
2015: The Nightingale
2016: Salt to the Sea
2017: A Court of Wings and Ruin
2018: The Great Alone
Where will you start?
