2) Una-book-bomber (5 books):

Read one book from each of these genres. It does not have to be the first book in the series, but it must be a series book, not a stand-alone:
chick-lit
romance
mystery
pnr/urban-fantasy/fantasy/sci-fi Some Girls Bite by Chloe Neill (Chicagoland Vampires series) 9/1/10 ★★★★

1 Already Dead 9/2/10 ★★★


4) Author-ican Psycho (1 book)

Try a book from the author you've "given up" on - call it one more try. It can be the same series you previously found only so-so, or a totally different series by the same author. It's up to you.

5) Dr. Hannibal Lecturer (1 book):

Start on that series that everybody is praising so much but you keep postponing it for later.
Just read it already. Go on!
1

6) The Book Strangler (1+ books):

Read a whole series from the beginning to the end (or to the last published book). You choose whether it's going to be a 15-book-long-monster or a 1-book-long-freshly-started-baby series...

Read a trilogy. An old fashioned trilogy that wraps up at book 3.
1
2
3

BONUS: Bloody Mary (1 book):

A series with a strong female kick-ass protagonist, something like: police detective, body builder, warrior. So for example LKH Anita Blake would work.
