chick-lit
romance
mystery
pnr/urban-fantasy/fantasy/sci-fi The Spider
young adult
3) Spree Series Killer (1+ book):
Try out a totally new author. If the book turns out to be a stinker, you have to TRY AGAIN. Repeat until you find a series that you like and are willing to keep on reading in the future.
4) Author-ican Psycho (1 book):
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.

Start on that series that everybody is praising so much but you keep postponing for later.
Just read it already. Go on!
6) The Book Strangler (2+ books):
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!
7) 3rd Degree (3 books):
Read a trilogy. An old fashioned trilogy that wraps up at book 3.
BONUS: Bloody Mary (1 book):
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.

Serial Reader Challenge - Take 2!
Duration: 1/1/2022 - 12/31/2022
Progress: 0 out of 28+
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?!
