The Fibonacci Sequence is a series of numbers in which each number ( Fibonacci number ) is the sum of the two preceding numbers:
1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, ...

⇔ The 2 is found by adding the two numbers before it (1+1)
⇔ Similarly, the 3 is found by adding the two numbers before it (1+2)
⇔ And the 5 is (2+3)
⇔ and so on!

The next number in the sequence above would be 21+34 = 55



Levels:
Tree Branching                             ⇔1 - 4 books
Artichoke Flowering                   ⇔5 - 9 books
Fern Uncurling                             ⇔10 - 15 books
Honeybees and Family Trees  ⇔16 - 20 books
Bunny Explosion                          ⇔21+ books

Duration:
You set the pace!

How To Play:
Using the sequence number of a book, read your own Fibonacci Sequence. You can pre-choose the size of your sequence and work several steps at same time, or you can unleash your inner OCD self and read the sequence orderly, one step at a time. Your challenge, your rules.

How to get the sequence number of a book:
Option 1Use the series number. You can either use a single book or two books combined.
Example:
Proven Guilty (The Dresden Files, #8) by Jim Butcher - which is #8 in the series as #8
Chocolate Chip Cookie Murder (Hannah Swensen, #1) by Joanne Fluke+Jack & Jill (Alex Cross, #3) by James Patterson - which are #1 and #3 in their series as #13
Hounded (The Iron Druid Chronicles, #1) by Kevin Hearne + Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (Harry Potter, #1) by J.K. Rowling which are #1 in their series as #2

Option 2You may use the number of letters in the title or the author's, the series', or main character's name to get your Fibonacci number or any combination of those mentioned.
Example:
Eve (Eve, #1) by Anna Carey E+V+E as #3
Once (Eve, #2) by Anna Carey O+N+C+E by A+N+N+A_+_C+A+R+E+Y as #13
If you prefer, you can also combine the two options above, using, for instance
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (Harry Potter, #1) by J.K. Rowling as #1 and Eve (Eve, #1) by Anna Carey as #3

Option 3Use 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



So you think math is boring and overrated? This little video says otherwise!

Note:
In 2014 we started this challenge, and we've now decided to start a new thread for the challenge to freshen it up a bit! You can find the old thread here

I want to play using the stack of books I've acquired this year, because a New Years Resolution of reading what I bring home has been shaky.

Agnieszka (agnieszka7) | 223 comments A question to Option #3: can we add book # to reach the Fibonacci number? I have so far 2973 on my shelf and would love to got for the Bunny Explosion level. I could add the remaining books I own to GR (though I doubt I'll reach 10,946) but I'd rather read instead of doing it :-)

Sorry for the slow reply;
It's ok Agnieszka if your TBR doesn't reach the last Fibonacci number. You can use a combination of option #1 & 2 to help finish those numbers. You can take a peek at Chris' challenge to see how she did it:-) ( message #6)

Thank you and now I get it! I made it much more complicated than needed (once again *grins*)
And no need to excuse - I'm sure you have enough to do and do you best - as long as I got my answer before I got the the end I'm fine :-)
