Kelly | 725 comments I am going to aim for 75 this year! This will include physical books, ebooks and audiobooks. I have a lot of series to work through which I have been ignoring, so I am going to try to incorporate as many of them as possible into challenges, thus "Serialously Challenging"!

Love the name of your thread! I'm excited to read Still Life this year, maybe in Q2?

Kelly | 725 comments The Louise Penny books are great! I think I am on book 10 of the series. I have vowed to finish it this year! They can be used for a lot of pop sugar prompts if you are doing the popsugar challenge- set in a country that starts with C, previous host Olympic country, written by a journalist, and 3 word title (I used "The beautiful Mystery" for this one, but there are others, such as "Bury your Dead")
I also want to finish my Elly Griffith series (Ruth Galloway series). I have so many good "series" books on my shelves!!!
It is very cold and snowy here right now so perfect for tea/wine and reading under a blanket! But staying awake is my challenge as this is my busiest time of year at work- so the year has been great thus far but really tiring!! I hope your year is also off to a great start!

Me by Elton John

This is a funny, sad, real, inside glimpse of the life of Elton John. A must for his friends. Also a great read for fans of music history as his collaborations, friendships and music spans decades!!

oshizu | 5762 comments Speaking of being "Serialously Challenged," i hope you're as excited about the October Serial Slayers challenge as I am!
Currently, I'm trying to wrap up as many of my yearly challenges as possible so I can devote October to revisiting my beloved series (which I've neglected to focus on challenge prompts).
See you there, I hope!
