Okay. I have a question about challenge #9: about Channel Surfing.It's been sitting there glaring at me during the whole challenge. I rarely read any series out of order. The only series ever I've done that with was Harry Potter and Robert Langdon by Dan Brown. Only because I watched the movies beforehand (I've now read all HP books of course). So Angels & Demons has been sitting there. It's not that I think it will be a bad book or anything, but I'm not really in a mood to read it.
The other option the challenge stated about giving a series another go. Should that be a series where I've read at least one and then haven't gone back to it a while?
Yes Anita, that's exactly what it means. A series that you've started and for whatever reason you've fallen off the wagon. I know you're trying to catch up on series this yr, so one of them will surely fit :)
Yes I am. I'm thinking Insurgent will work since I read the first book in 2014.I just had to make sure I understood the task correctly.
