I think I'm in but need clarification.If I read a Susan Mallery series and a Susan Wiggs series for example I can read 12, 13 from one of them but then 11 or 14 would have to be from the other? or I can read books from 3 different authors as long as they are for example 1, 2 and 3 in their respective series?
I will give it a goDUCKS IN A ROW

You've got it Joanne. It can be from any 2 or 3 series. You can do 3 separate series or 2 separate series. You just cant do all from 1 series.

Wow, Leslie, that was fast. I'm still trying to get my first set of 3 completed.
Updated post 6 and done, so I will go again!
My reading schedule for the rest of the month doesn't include anything else that will fit this challenge, so I'm going to consider it done. I'll be back next time!DUCKS IN A ROW

I think this is going to be a 3 month challenge for me. I've read lots of #1 books, but no higher series books yet. And I will, but probably not by the end of the month.
I tried to find a book #6, but I ran out of month before I ran out of books :\ I'll try again the next time around :)
