Help Thread
Read a book that is the first book in a series. There may be any number of books planned for the series, but the book you read must be identified as part of a series on Goodreads and be marked as book #1.

AND

Read a book that is the last book in a series that contains at least 3 books. This may be either the final book in the series or the most recently published book in the series. The book must be identified as part of a series on Goodreads. Short stories, novella, or other works within a series labeled #X.5 should be ignored.

I read The Cuckoo's Calling for A. This book is marked as first in a series on Goodreads.

I read The Minor Adjustment Beauty Salon, for B which is 14 and is the very latest in the #1 Ladies Detective Agency series. It came out this month.
