Serial Reader - 2018

[Ilona]

SERIAL READER CHALLENGE
Duration: January 1 – December 31, 2018

We definitely have some serious series readers in our group! As you showed us last year, series readers tend to be in it for the long haul, and here is another full year to provide more reading opportunities in a series challenge. All with the flexibility to choose series with longer books, long or short series, be able to move between series, etc. Here’s how it will work!

Fill in the following blanks to determine how many books you will read for this challenge. You can fill in one, two, three or all four blanks to come up with the total number of books you will read. Post your responses here!

I will finish __ series I have started before this year. (# books)
I will start __ series this year. (# books)
I will read __ series from start to finish this year. (# books)
I will read __ number of books that are part of a series. (# books)

My total number of books is _____

We will track your progress in the normal fashion. We also thought we would have some fun and try a tiered tracker as well! The tiers will be:
1-10 books: Series Dabbler
11-20 books: More than a Vacation Reader
21-30 books: Shelf Stacker
31-40 books: Under the Covers Reader
41-50 books: Book-Bosomed
50+ books: Serial Reader

Keep an eye out for the Series Buddy Reads!

How to Participate
1. Post here telling the challenge leader that you'd like to join the challenge. You can choose your books for the challenge at the beginning, or add them as you go. You can join a challenge at any time, as long as the challenge is still active.

2. Whenever you finish a book for the challenge, post here and let the challenge leader know so they can update your progress.

Some members choose to update their original post with their progress to keep track of their challenge more easily, but make sure to also post a new message so the challenge leader knows to go look at your original post. You can look at how other members report their progress to find a strategy that works well for you.

For more information about how challenges work, check out this thread or ask your challenge leader.
