I've pretty much got my list done - with some alternate choices made, and just waiting for 20.2 to drop.

I am committed to checking out EVERYTHING from the library, so I'm reading based on when my reserves come in, when books are due back, which I can renew, and which I can't. I think I'm going to struggle to keep track of where I actually AM in the process of finishing tasks, but so far, I'm on pace to actually FINISH this thing this season.
