Romance Readers Reading Challenges
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?!

1) Jack the Page Ripper (15 books):

Take 5 series, read:
5 books from 1st series (of your choice):
#1:
#2:
#3:
#4:
#5:

4 from 2nd The Edge
#1:
#2:
#3:
#4:

3 from 3rd: The Dresden Files
#1:
#2:
#3:

2 from 4th: Charley Davidson
#1:
#2:


1 from the last one (and you don't have to be starting with 1st book each time)
#1:

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:

Romance:

Mystery:

PNR/Urban-Fantasy/Fantasy/Sci-Fi

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:

5) Dr. Hannibal Lecturer (1 book):
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!

First Truth (Truth, #1) by Dawn Cook
Hidden Truth (Truth, #2) by Dawn Cook
Forgotten Truth (Truth, #3) by Dawn Cook
Lost Truth (Truth, #4) by Dawn Cook

7) 3rd Degree (3 books):

Read a trilogy. An old fashioned trilogy that wraps up at book 3.

Midnight Crossroad (Midnight, Texas, #1) by Charlaine Harris
Day Shift (Midnight, Texas, #2) by Charlaine Harris
Night Shift (Midnight, Texas, #3) by Charlaine Harris

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:

As you are working your way through the challenge, feel free to either repost your progress or update a single post, but please repost upon completion of the challenge. With people starting and ending the challenge at different times, it's extremely difficult to keep track of when people finish without a final repost.

Good Luck, and Enjoy!

Mama's a 2019 Serial Reader Challenge.

1) Jack the Page Ripper (15 books):

Take 5 series, read:
5 books from 1st series (of your choice)
4 from 2nd
3 from 3rd
2 from 4th
1 from the last one (and you don't have to be starting with 1st book each time)

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
romance
mystery
pnr/urban-fantasy/fantasy/sci-fi
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.

5) Dr. Hannibal Lecturer (1 book):

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.

For the complete series, do we have to read all the novellas as well if there are any or just the main books?

I know I sometimes can't get all the novellas for some series.

Hi Christine!

I think it’s up to you. If you can’t get all of the Novellas for the series you choose to read, you can feel free to leave them out. It will still count as completed if you use only the main books in the series.

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.

Six of Crows

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.



5) Dr. Hannibal Lecturer (1 book):

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!

The Lost Hero
The Son of Neptune
The Mark of Athena
The House of Hades
The Blood of Olympus

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.
