How it Works:•Tegan started up the Trilogy or Bust Challenge and we are going to keep it going with a little variation:-)
Choose Your Level!: You can read 1, 2, or 3 Trilogies in the 3 Months you have to complete the challenge. (You can change your Level at any time during the challenge!)Create your List!: Choose the trilogies you want to read for the challenge and get your list started. Things to remember when creating your list...○Add your Level and Start Date (Everyone will be starting at differnt times so to keep track I need to see the start date!)
○Keep an Update Tally! Example: 3/6 books Completed 1/2 Trilogies Completed
○Make sure to Update your Original List, as well as post random updates and let everyone know what you think of your books!
○Rate your books and Strike your finished books!
When you Finish...Start Again!: This is an on going challenge so when you finish your challenge or your 3 months are up give it another try!Bonus Options:The Bonus's can be used as one of your Trilogies or in addition to your 1, 2, or 3 TrilogiesFor the Bonus I will List Trilogies each Month that have to do with the Month, Season, Ect... You will have to read the entire Trilogy for it to count as your Bonus:-) HOWEVER you will have the three months of your challenge duration to finish...not just the month I listed it in!
Trilogy or Bust
Duration: 3 Months from Start Date
Level: 1, 2, or 3 Trilogies in the 3 Month Time Frame
Kristen I think that's a good idea... I'll let you know as soon as I have it up and running:-)
Archived Monthly Challenges*If you are looking for the previous Monthly Challenges go to the
○2nd Chance Folder!
You CAN use the same books for different challenges Sara! (unless the challenge states otherwise...but most don't:-)
Just a heads up...Series like Fool's Gold by Susan Maller and the Lucky Harbor series by Jill Shalvis that have new trilogies coming out this year Can be used for a New to Everyone series Even if you have read the previous books...this is because the trilogy covers a completely different set of people so you can use it in the NtE or in your Bonus NtE from Previous Series!
Ladies, thanks for the Recs! Keep them coming:-)
Welcome Kylie!

Awesome suggestions! Glad you listed these...I had forgotten about a few of these when I was making my list!
And thanks for the reminder of the Susan Mallery book...not sure how I missed that!
What genre is 1Q84? I keep seeing it, but I don't really know anything about it!
Example for Recommendations: *New To Everyone Stand Alone: Barefoot Season by Susan Mallery! This book is being released March 27th and I have heard great things about it!
*New to You Series: Jane Jameson by Molly Haper This is one of my favorie series and there is a new book coming out at the end of the month for those who have already read it you can use Nice Girls Don't Bite Their Neighborsas a Bonus!
Example: Asking for Recommendation:
I need a new to me series! I love Paranomal Romance and Urban Fantasty and my fav. series is Immortals After Dark by Kresley Cole and Black Dagger Brother Hood by J.R. Ward! Thanks for the suggestions in advance!
*If your asking for a susggestion it's helpful to add genres or other series you like to give everyone an idea of your taste:-)
*If your giving a rec to a person that has asked it might be helpful to look at their bookshelves to see what they like or what they have read already!
