I looked at this briefly when I first joined the group, but was somewhat overwhelmed by it and kind of pushed it to the back of my mind. Then a while later I sort of started working on series for it, but never actually posted that I was starting. Now I don't remember when I started, but since I know some of the books I read for it (and when I read them), I'm just picking an arbitrary start time of Feb 1. It's not exact, but close enough!

Try out a totally new author. If the book turns out to be a stinker, you have to TRY AGAIN. Repeat until you find a series that you like and are willing to keep on reading in the future.

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!

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...

7) 3rd Degree (3 books):

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

BONUS: Bloody Mary (1 book):

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

Sure you can, as long as your start date is based on the earliest book you have finished reading.

Thank you Yz! You are so awesome to always be there to answer my questions! I will get some lists together and post them. I am looking forward to this one!

I thought I posted when I finished this but I went to look for it before starting again and I can't find it. I must have forgotten. Here's last years list.
