Series Read-Along Challenge
I'm definitely in :DOne question, though. Most of series I need to read are the sequels. Let's say I've read book #1 last month and for this reading challenge I want to read book #2 and #3. How many points will I get? 5 points (2 for book #2 and 3 for book #3) or each book consider as one point?

Points are based on the position of the book in the series, so if you read books 2 and 3, you will get 2 points for book number 2, and 3 points for book number 3 ☺ If you buddy read them you will get double, so a buddy read on a book that is second in a series will earn 4 points in total, and a buddy read for a book that is third in a series will earn 6 ☺
I'll give this a go I think! I don't know if I'll get many, but hey worth a shot right? :)Just one question: do you have to read them in order? I mean do I have to read #1 in that time or can I just read #2 or even #4 etc. straight away. Do I have to read them from the first of the series? Thanks.
Thanks Sarah and I have to say this challenge is a good idea. I have series that I really need to read since most of them are already finished so this is a good chance for me to finish it :D
I'm in! This is a good way to finish all those piles of sequels waiting to be finished! :)

No, you don't have to read them all ☺ This is mainly a way for those of us who have already started a series to finish the series off, so if for example you've already read
&
and still need to read
, then you can just read
without having to re-read the first two books ☺
Mod
That's right! I have loads! Keep reading new books and then never getting round to the rest of the series!

Thanks, Sarah! :)
And we have to have started it in either Nov or Dec right? Not have started in Oct and finished it in Nov? :)

This is great :)
I'm reading so many series ATM!
I hope I can work my way through them with this challenge!"
Hopefully! I end up waiting so long some times that I forget what happened in the previous books!
I'm in!(Glad that the sequel thing did turn into a challenge!)
So I started City of Bones in October, but had to put it down for Octoberfest. If I start it over now will it count?
Mod
Sorry I meant City of Glass. I plan on joining you on the 26th with City of Lost Souls.
Mod
I just got to page 91. So not very far. Before today I was at page 67.
Sarah wrote: "How far into it are you? I know Rachel already started a long one as well. I'll see what the other mods think. maybe we can work something out for you guys who have already got a book going."Thanks, Sarah! But don't worry too much because while I was about thirty pages into The Immortal Rules and eighty pages in the Vampire Academy, I started The Lightning Thief in October and finished it yesterday! So that probably wont be fair to add!
I'm in. This seems like a challenge that doesn't ask a lot.

Each participant can use one book that they already started before November 1st, if it falls into one of the following categories:
1- The book is not shorter than 400 pages, and the participant is no further than 12% of the way into the book.
2- The book is part of an ongoing buddy read, and the participant is no further than 12% of the way into the book.
Each participant may only nominate one book to be used this way though, and this book will carry a maximum of 1 point for the book and 1 point for the buddy read.
Mod
Rachel - I think the immortal rules would count for you too if you were only up to page 38 ☺

@Satah Thanks! I can use Immortal Rules. Thank you! :)
I think that's a perfectly fair rule! I remember kicking myself for starting a large book right before a challenge started.
Mod
I think I'll join this challenge as well. :) I have a lot of series to finish...
I am in! This sounds like so much fun!!
So will a series book that is under 100 pages and not read with a buddy only be 0.5 points?
So will a series book that is under 100 pages and not read with a buddy only be 0.5 points?
NVM the book is only 65 pages, so it wont work anyways.
Mod
Books that are less than 100 pages don't count at all unfortunately. novellas that are 75-100 pages and read with a buddy are worth 1 point. novellas over 100 pages are worth 1 point (2 if read with a buddy).
Mod
Nope, you can join at any time ☺

This is a two month challenge running from November 1st to December 31st 2013, and is fairly relaxed so that all you guys who are celebrating Thanksgiving and Christmas will be able to read and get your shopping done ☺
Abbie and I thought that it might be a good idea for us to get some of those pesky sequels out of the way so that we can start some new series in the new year, and us mods thought that you might like to join us ☺
The way this will work is that you will receive points based on what number book in a series you are reading, and because we love to motivate each other, a buddy read will be worth double points. Yes Double!
ex:
1st book in series
points: 1
buddy: +1
2nd book in series
points: 2
buddy: +2
3rd book in a series
points: 3
buddy: +3
and on, with a maximum of 5 points for a book (ie: if you read pretty little liars #9, you will get the maximum of 5 points, +5 for a buddy read).
Rules:
- books must be part of a series.
- books must be at least 100 pages in length
Note; series Novellas between 75 - 100 pages will be worth 1 point, but ONLY if being read with a buddy (1 point includes the buddy reading points 0.5 for book and 0.5 for buddy)
- 2 re-reads are allowed, but only if they are read with a buddy, and detailed update/spoilers/reviews are submitted.UPDATE - up to 4 re-reads are now allowed, but only if read with a buddy, and detailed update/spoilers/reviews are submitted.
- books must be read between November 1st and December 31st
You can find our regular challenge rules here: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...
Prizes:
- 1 winner who gets the most points
- 1 winner drawn by raffle
Sign ups, questions, etc. go in this thread, and there will be a separate thread for reviews here: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...
Amendment concerning books started before November 1st:

2- The book is part of an ongoing buddy read, and the participant is no further than 12% of the way into the book.
Each participant may only nominate one book to be used this way though, and this book will carry a maximum of 1 point for the book and 1 point for the buddy read.
