Thanks Melissa.
although if you earned $1 and spent $2, you didn't really win, right?
That's how I feel. I made my 50 series goals but started almost double that in new series. And I am starting the year with 7 new series. SMH.

Great job. I will try to read 2-3 books per series instead of 1 a month.

Next year, no more Ty & Zane :(

Is it too late to do the FWYS challenge for 2015? I know I missed Jan. but I can dive in for Feb. I hope? Please and thank you, :)

I can't even look at your list. If I do, my TBR will grow another mountain!

Jump in for February but you have to remember to check the threads often so you can put your February shelf up and pick for your person.

Happy New Year Becca!

Absolutely, thank you Ezi, :D And Happy New Year to you!

Also, I don't know if I'm eligible for a thread to keep track of my FWYS challenge? :)

[⚜️XAR]

Ezi, would you please add me to the permanent list and set up a thread for me? Thank you!

[Kay (Brigidsmomma)]

I challenge myself to get caught up and stay caught up in all the series I read. That is currently 13 series that I can remember. I am sure that someone will stir a memory of another old time series that I am not up to date (read: got started on prior to my Kindle), but that may take some time...

For May, I had Evanovich's Stephanie Plum on my list, and it was chosen for me. So far, I have finished and and still have to finish this month. is due out later this year, I believe.

I am also working on reducing the rest of my series as I go along, so hopefully, before the year is out, I will be caught up with everything!

I am doing a book a month on series, but I am also beginning new books. right now I am at 29 series completed/finished/current AND I started 26 new series.

so I only positive 3 for the year :(

Please add me to the permanent list, I already set up my own thread :) I'm sure I'll be adding series as well, long into the future...

how many series are you aiming for?

[Gea]

I'll tell you when I see where' I'm at, but no more than 12

[Joanne]

I posted a list of 5 series I want to get caught up on in the July thread, without realizing that this was a more in-depth challenge than just month-to-month. Can I please join?

[Louise]

I have so many series that I need to catch up on, i can't seem to stop starting new ones tho'. I'm looking at getting 10 series completed by the end of the year.

[Dee]

Can I get a shelf?? I'll finish 30 series from the 1st of July. Thanks!!

[Chelle_Rydz]

I'm a bit late to this challenge over all.

How can I get a 2015 FWYS thread of my own?

I challenge myself to finish 5 series this year.

So far I am up to date on James Rollins' Sigma Force Series.

Trina, thread creation can be done by any member, so feel free to set one up for yourself! 8) Happy reading!

Is this continuing in 2020? I hope so - it helps me get a lot of series finished!

I believe Ezi had plans to revamp it some, but would eventually continue it. There may not be a January challenge, as I believe she had some demands on her time right before the holiday and didn't have a lot of free time to work on it, but I do believe she'll have some interesting things in store for FWYS in 2020!
