I pulled out 20 books from my TBR shelf to read this winter... but sadly only one title is from an Aussie Author, so I guess I can't participate this year. I really need to get my TBR shelf down and it's got limited number of already purchased Australian Authors... I read too many titles by Aussies at the start of the year and exhausted my supply :(

But to clarify if I've curren..."
Yes you can Bec. It's up to you whether you lower your TBR of books you've had for quite some time (books you bought and haven't got to) or ARCs. Personally I'm going to lower what I've had for a considerable amount of time! The ARCs will still get read but won't be counted in this challenge :)
