July 'Easy as 1,2,3...' Monthly Challenge

[Jennifer H]

Easy As...1-2-3! Monthly Mini-Challenge
From: July 1st ~ 31st



This challenge is an ongoing monthly mini-challenge to keep us all motivated to start, (and then continue), some of the many series in our TBR.

Rules:
1) You must read one of each; a 1st, 2nd, and a 3rd book in a series.
2) Any genre of series is acceptable.
3) 'Half-step' short-stories (i.e., shorts in anthologies), do not count.
**For uniformity, the numbering on GR will be the judge of this.**
4) Rereads do count.
5) No more than 2 of the 3 books each month can be from the same series.

Question 1: You cannot have all three books from the same series in a bind up. You can have two of the same series and one of another or three different series.

Question 2: Yes
