I'm reading Please Do Not Taunt the Octopus by Mira Grant for 20.7. It's part of the Newsflesh series but it's a novella in the series and there are several others. Would these count?

Yes.

1- Do all 3 books need to be published or can it one be set for publication? Ex. Thunderhead

2- Does the book need to be in a linear series or can just be marked as part of a series on Goodreads? Ex. The Big Sleep or Murder on the Orient Express

Thanks!

All of those work for this task. The Agatha Christie is one of those that BPL has shelved as YA Assignment with a Lexile of 640, so task but no styles.

Great thanks!

LOL - I answered the part that gets a "yes". (You can read any book in a series, regardless of whether you've read earlier ones or not.)

I read Frostbite and it is definitely part of a series but for some reason the third lists the series name but is not linked to the first two.Faceless. Just wanted to log this here before posting for points later.

Thanks for the heads up, Beth. I've added that to the series.
