[LaurLa]

I did awful this year!! Really really awful. Like I finished only one of the 10 series I planned and that's because they were all fairly short, almost novella length. To put this failure in perspective... my GR Reading Challenge was (is) 350 books and I'm at 358, so clearly it wasn't a lack of reading!

I was trying to figure out why, besides the obvious pandemic causing everybody to go topsy turvy about everything this year, and when I looked at my finished dates.... I didn't even start most of these series until April and May!! That, I can't explain. Other than the series books I had planned must not have worked for a good portion of my other challenges in the beginning of the year. I'm thinking a do over with most of these next year. Or a new game plan since obviously none of them interested me enough to prioritize them earlier in the year. Hmmm.

I'm not even going to wait until December to call this - If I happened to finish more books from the list, yay. But it's not going to be enough to say that I finished the challenge.

Series planned: 10
Series complete: 1
Series started: 8
Books planned: 55
Books completed: 19

Duration: January 1, 2020 - December 31, 2020


Finished!!!


Rules:
*Select a minimum of 5 series that you want to read during the year (you can start with more series, or you can add to series later on in the year (i.e., additional layers) if you want
*In descending number order, decide how many books in each series you want to read (5 books from one series, 4 books from the next, 3 from the next, 2 from the next, and 1 from the last). In the end, you will form a pyramid of books.

*Re-reads are acceptable, however, they should comprise no more than 1/3 your overall list - so if you go for 5 series (total 15 books: 5+4+3+2+1) - no more than 5 can be re-reads

NOTE: Update your post regularly, or if you finished one whole series. You can repost this as you go on with your reading. If you withdraw for any reason, DO NOT DELETE YOUR POST! Just leave it as it is.
