You can start whenever you want

 ★ gwiz ★ (ggwiz) I would like to do this.

Can I backdate the start of the challenge, cuz I have read some really awesome books in the last few months?

One other question: I have a list until the end of 2013 with a buddy for finishing up series that we have started but stop with waiting for the next book release among other reasons. We have decided that we will reread the whole series of most of them including the unread books. Can I use books I reread as long as I only use them once in the challenge?


message 10: by Katelyn (new)

Katelyn Broad (katelynb) I'm up for it! Very excited. :)

Everything you guys need to know about this challenge is in the Ultimate Book-A-Holics R’ Us Challenge – The Rules & Guide Lines thread

Elisa  (ocdreader) | 2 comments This sounds crazy, but super fun. I am in.


message 14: by Jax (new)

Jax Fun! I'd Love to!
Just a quick question Jessi.
Does our challenge have to look like the one you posted up? With the Category headings?
As I notice that you've listed Top 5 Sci-Fi/Fantasy twice... plus, Sad books - I have a top 5, but I don't really read that many any more...
And - If you have a fav author, can you repeat them in their genre?
e.g Fav Author Brandon Sanderson would be under Fav Author, as well as fav. Fantasy Author??

And yep it has to look like how I posted it. It's a 2-yr challenge. Each category is different. The 2 Sci-fi/Fantasy topics you mention: One is for series and the other books. Also as long as you read 210 different books you can have repeats.

For example:
Top 5 Favorite Characters
1. Kate Daniels["Untitled Book 6"]
2. Death [Grave Memory]
3. Charley Davidson [Fourth Grave Beneath My Feet]
4.
5.

Top 5 Favorite Alpha Characters
1. Death [Grave Dance]
2. Alex Craft [Grave Witch]
3. Logan [Dark Frost]
4. Bones [One Grave at a Time]
5. Curran [Magic Strikes]

Top 5 Favorite Alpha Female Characters
1.Kate [Magic Slays]
2.Alex Craft [Grave Visions]
3.Charley Davidson [First Grave on the Right]
4.
5.

 ★ gwiz ★ (ggwiz) I like to point out that on Rule 2 (There are no repeats with the books. There have to be a total of 210 different books when your list is complete) there is apples and oranges in the challenge list.

There are lists that you list each book (apples) and there are lists that you list a series (oranges)

If I list a series, say Hunger Games, I can't list any of the 3 books in the series because I have listed all the books under as a series or can I list all 3 books in the series as individual entries separate else where.

Please could you tell how series going to be handle vs books.

Just one book from the series you don't have to read the whole series. The series can be done like I did in the example with the characters.


message 18: by Jax (new)

Jax Excellent! Thanks Jessi! I'm Definitely in!


message 19: by Jessi (new)

Jessi Overton (pixibella) | 89 comments Mod
It means secondary character. Which can be any secondary character


message 20: by Harold (new)

Harold Smithson | 3 comments I'll do it.

I just realized I didn't answer all of Sara Jayne's questions (And this should help Gwendolyn as well):

And what happens to series that we get caught up in, but then there's a new release/s in it in the upcoming two years? If you go a little over that fine. It's a 2-yr challenge but if you finished the challenge in 2 1/2 years psshhh the point will be that you actually finished the challenge and some people probably would be able to do that.

And do trilogies count as series? Yes trilogies count as series

What about half books in series-do we have to read those as well to count the series? You can read those as part of the series but you don't have to read the whole series with this challenge. Just one book from the series or however many you like. Also the half books count as books. For example: You like Night Huntress and you count that under "5 Favorite Series". You can list Devil to Pay as a book for that.

Please could you tell how series going to be handle vs books.

Here's an example:
5 Favorite Series

1. Mythos Academy - Crimson Frost
2. Dorina Basarab - Fury's Kiss
3. Soul Screamers - With All My Soul
4. In Death - Naked in Death
5. Stormwalker - Firewalker

5 Favorite UF/PNR Series
1. Dorina Basarab - Midnight's Daughter
2. Stormwalker - Shadow Walker
3. Blood Singer - Demon Song
4.
5.

5 Favorite YA Series
1. Mythos Academy - Touch of Frost
2. House of Night - Hidden
3. Soul Screamers - Before I Wake
4.
5.

5 Favorite Science Fiction/Fantasy Series

2. Night Huntress - Home for the Holidays (Featured in "The Bite Before Christmas")
3.
4.
5.

Top 5 Favorite Books
1. Conspiracy in Death
2. From New York to Dallas
3. Siren Song
4. Death's Mistress
