The Fibonacci Sequence Reading Challenge
Sonia wrote: "only problem is...you need to read two #1's or else it won't be a fibonacci sequence"
Yes, so you read #1 and then #1 again and then #2 and so on.
Attention everybody, thanks to Lauren there is now a third option - that can be specially useful for those who don't read that much books in a series, or are trying to diminish the TBR mountain.
Option 3 ⇔Use your TBR: Sort your to-read or other shelf of your choice by date added - you can choose either descending or ascending but keep your chosen direction till the end of the challenge. Then you just have to read books #1, #1, #2, #3, #5, #8 and so on

The only one off the top of my head without a little research is having a similar one to this one but listing digits of pi(3.141592.....) and reading a series for each digit in order as far out as you can.

Sorry it took me so much time to answer, somehow I missed this.
:(
Would it be possible to use the number of words in a title rather than letters at all? (Sorry, being awkward!!)
