August 2016 Finish What You've Started (Series) Challenge:

Please post your shelves. NO COMMENTS in this thread please, during the posting phase. After I post the pairings, it will add a link to the shelf, and then you can add discussion comments.

How It Will Work:
1) Please only post a list of 5 series that you have Already Started but now, you would like to get current on. There must be a minimum of TWO books remaining in your series.

*When listing your series, please only list the bookcovers in the series you have NOT read yet.

**Novellas are optional.

2) An assigned person will pick ONE series from your post series.

3) You have one month: AUGUST 2016 to try to read as many books in that series as you can—minimum two books in that series. (*if you don't, it's okay because this challenge is for YOUR ENJOYMENT!)

4) Please try to select for your pair ASAP as we all get excited and waiting is torture to some. Please make a separate post in the thread when you pick for your pair, letting them know what you've picked! FAILURE TO PICK FOR YOUR PARTNER WILL BE NOTED, AND MULTIPLE FAILURES WILL HAVE CONSEQUENCES!

TIMELINE:
JULY 15-22, 2016: Participants will Post their shelves

*If you do not list a shelf, I will not pair you with anyone

***Cut off on JULY 22: 9:30am EST(8:30am CST)

JULY 22-28: Pairs will be posted & then Selection of a Series and posting it for your pair

*Again, as I said earlier, please try to select for your pair ASAP, and failure to pick for your pairing will be noted.

***Cut off on JULY 28 @ 9:30am EST(8:30am CST)

**JULY 28: Re-picks for those who didn’t get the pick

Heather, this was a bit of a hard choice for me, as I've read the Reapers and kind of enjoyed them, but I'm going to go with the Nikki Heat series for you, since you have more of them to go through.

I've got a good bit of the series myself and have been meaning to read them. Would you be interested in buddy reading the series together? I'll have to play catch up and read book 1, but with how fast I read, it should not be a problem. Give me a shout and let me know?

Hi Trea. Yes I will do a buddy read with you for the Nikki Heat series. I will also need to re-read book 1 to catch up and so it is fresh again. Great idea.
