July 2017 Finish What You've Started (Series) Challenge

[⚜️XAR]

July 2017 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) NEW TWIST FOR 2017! Your picker can choose to pick two series for you instead of one, due to the fact that sometimes people read one book and decide they really didn't enjoy the series after all. This new "Option B" gives you the chance to read 1 Book from 2 different series, instead of two books from one series. IT IS THE PICKER'S CHOICE TO DO THIS, YOU CAN'T REQUEST THAT THEY DO SO!!

3)An assigned person will pick either OPTION A: ONE series from your posted series OR OPTION B: TWO series from your posted series.

3) You have one month: JULY 2017 to:
OPTION A: try to read as many books in that series as you can—minimum two books in that series.
OPTION B: try to read as many books in the two series as you can—minimum one book per series.

*If you don't get your books read, 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!

5) After you have made your selections, please return to your original bookshelf and update that shelf with the books your chose and the ones chosen for you. FAILURE TO UPDATE YOUR ORIGINAL POST WILL BE NOTED!

6) DO NOT SIGN UP if:

A. You do not think you will remember to pick for your pair on time. It's a hassle for people to keep waiting for a pick.

B. If you do not plan to return and update your original post with both the books you picked and the books picked for you. Just please don't sign up, as you make more work for the mod running this challenge.

7)THREE FAILURES IN A ROW OF ANY KIND WILL RESULT IN NOT BEING ALLOWED TO PARTICIPATE FOR THE NEXT MONTH!

TIMELINE:
JUNE 15-21, 2017: Participants will Post their shelves
*If you do not list a shelf, I will not pair you with anyone
***Cut off on JUNE 21: 9:30am EST(8:30am CST)

JUNE 21-26: Pairs will be posted & then Selection of a Series and posting it for your partner will begin.
*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 JUNE 26 @ 9:30am EST(8:30am CST)

**JUNE 26: Re-picks for those who didn’t get the pick

**MOD ASSIST: TCF Mods Ezi, Denise, & Lanelle are also around for assistance.

Hi Katherine,

I chose option 2 for you because I had a difficult time only choosing one series for you to read! I love Rick Riordan, so I had to choose Heroes of Olympus for one of my picks. I've heard a lot of great things about The Lunar Chronicles, so that was my other choice for you. Best of luck reading :D
