Enjoy, Gle! I completed it twice before I developed enough self control to "just say NO!" =P

this may have been asked but can we use a book from a series say one that we're reading 5 from and use a 6th for one of the categories in #2?

SERIAL KILLER READER CHALLENGE

As requested, a series challenge. The duration of this challenge is one year from the sign-up date. You can cross challenge with other challenges, but within Serial Reader the books you list cannot repeat.
This one is monstrous, not for the faint of heart!!! In order to complete it officially, you'll have to read: 28+ books and 15+ different series. Yup, you're reading it right. But fear not, I'm willing to compromise: if you omit some of the subcategories and then call it quits - fine by me - you just won't be all that notorious then. Of course, you can post as you go, but be sure to sign up to set the start date. (note: it's ok to back date if you wish to do so)
So Serial Readers, are you up for the challenge?!

If I'm understanding your question correctly, unfortunately the answer is no...you can't use different books within the same series in different places in the challenge. You can use different series by the same author though, so one slight exception would be if you have a book that's actually part of 2 different series, you could call it whichever series you choose, and then use a book from the other series. For example, Fall Fury is listed as the 2nd book in 2 different series...you could use it in one place as part of either series, then use a different book (or books) from the other series somewhere else in the challenge. I hope this makes sense! :D

2 from 4th
Sapphire Blue
Emerald Green
1 from the last one (and you don't have to be starting with 1st book each time)
A Court of Mist and Fury
2) Una-book-bomber (5 books):

Read one book from each of the genres. It does not have to be the first book in the series, but it must be a series book, not a stand-alone:
chick-lit:The Selection
romance:Glass Sword
mystery:Dorothy Must Die
pnr/urban-fantasy/fantasy/sci-fi:Siege and Storm
young adult;Darkest Mercy

3) Spree Series Killer (1+ book):
0/1

Sophie Jordan
Firelight

4) Author-ican Psycho (1 book):
0/1
Try a book from the author you've "given up" on - call it one more try. It can be the same series you previously found only so-so, or a totally different series by the same author. It's up to you.
The Angel Experiment
5) Dr. Hannibal Lecturer (1 book):

Just read it already. Go on!
The Iron Trial

6) The Book Strangler (2+ books):
0/4
Read a whole series from the beginning to the end (or to the last published book). You choose whether it's going to be a 15-book-long-monster or a 2-book-long-freshly-started-baby series, but there must be at least 2 books, because it's not really a series yet if there's just 1!
Shiver
Linger
Forever
Sinner
7) 3rd Degree (3 books):
0/3
Read a trilogy. An old fashioned trilogy that wraps up at book 3.

Paranormalcy
Supernaturally
Endlessly

BONUS: Bloody Mary (1 book): 0/1

Read a book in a series with a strong female kick-ass protagonist, something like: police detective, body builder, warrior. So for example LKH Anita Blake would work.

I finished the challenge....by the hair of my chinny-chin-chin. I finished my last book the night before my deadline. :)

I updated my Post #113.

And, I'm seriously considering starting another one. I really enjoyed this challenge!

[~KarenH~, Moderator]

Congrats, Glee - and great timing!

I actually did it twice, too. It's been a few years, but I think I took a short break - maybe to start the second round at the beginning of a month or something - and I remember being soooo careful during that month not to read any books I needed for the challenge!

[[deleted user]]

It's a great challenge, Karen. Thanks for hosting it!

[~KarenH~, Moderator]

Glad you like it...I wish I could take credit for more than just hosting it, but it was created by a former member years ago...before I even knew Goodreads existed! =P
