The rules:

• Books, audio-books, e-books--all qualify
• Books for any age group qualify--children's books/middle grade, young adult, adult
• Rereads are allowed
• Reviews are not required but if you do get the chance to review, please leave a link! 
• You can create a reading list if you want, but it's not a requirement 
• If you do make a list, consider adding a list of five books you'd recommend to others
• "Nonfiction" includes biography, autobiography, memoirs, diaries, letters, etc. Also "general" nonfiction--focus on a subject instead of one individual. For the 1920s and 1930s, you might for example read about the Depression, FDR, the Dust Bowl, Prohibition, jazz, harlem renaissance, early film-making, organized crime, Scopes Trial, Hindenburg, 1936 Olympics, etc. Any subject will do essentially.
• Fiction can be "general" fiction, or, from a genre. For example, the "any book published..." could be fiction or nonfiction for any age group and from any genre. And fiction set during the specified times could be historical fiction, historical romance, historical mystery, historical fantasy, historical science fiction. For example, Connie Willis has two books where characters from the future time-travel back to World War II. These would qualify.
