Everyone is doing so well!I have just finished my first book, Heir of Novron, and killed off my first series, 'The Riyria Revelations'. However, I still need to complete one more series to level up.
I'm trying to finish a book to complete the trilogy and my tablet died. Ugh! Just out of the blue it stopped working and from what I can tell it's a hardware problem. And of course it's out of warranty...
Oh, that's not good Lara! I hope you get it sorted it out soon. Gadgets seem to have a knack for breaking as soon as their warranty is up!
Good thing I can finish the book on my phone (it's a phablet so it's okay). I also found I have an extended warranty through Visa, but the paperwork and time this will take will be a real pain.
I have just finished Level 2! I'm having a great time with this challenge, although may have to take a quick break soon to finish a couple of books that have been lingering on my "currently reading" list for months!https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...
I killed a series, but I haven't leveled up yet. I finished the third book in the Legends of Muirwood trilogy by Jeff Wheeler. This was one of the best series I've read in quite a while. I plan to search out more books by Mr. Wheeler very soon. I think I may have overextended myself on my January reads though, so it'll be a little while.
I didn't conceptualize this challenge very well. We've got some reading one book, killing a series and level. Then we have trilogies which require that you read more than one series to achieve a level. Well, we're into it now and will just have to live with it, and have fun with it the way it is.
I think it's working very well, Janice. The goals were kill series and have fun, and both are happening!
Janice, I have completed level 1. https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...No hurry on the badges. Looks like you are snowed under with all the serial killers!
: )
Janice, I think it's fine. Those of us struggling now will probably level like crazy later in the year...
Thanks, Anne! I hope I counted my points and everything correctly!! fingers crossed. : )Beth, I am in your camp. I am not going to make many levels until much later. I have too many books to read to complete my levels. It is ok with me though.
I am the same going at my own pace. I have a lot that I need to wait for the library and I also like to change my mind about what I feel like reading. Sometimes I like to read a series back to back sometimes space it out. :)

Okay. :) I'm glad everyone is enjoying the challenge. I'm not feeling stressed with badging everyone. I was concerned that I'd made it too easy and a little inconsistent. But, I'm happy if everyone else is happy.Just read and have fun. That's the main thing.
Oh, and Connie - you've been badged!

I have a couple of series that I space out on purpose so I always have an amazing read for a 12 hour flight, but others I gobble down like candy. :D

I'm loving the challenge, Janice. The goal is to kill series reads and everyone is really at so many different levels in series reads so it's going to seem really unlevel. I think as long as series books are being read and killed off it's all good. :)I'm one of those who will be taking a while to get level one done but I'm just happy to have a reason to move along those series reads!

So if it looks like 2 books will come at the same time i can delay one. Of course if there is only one copy, it means a possibility of a 3 weeks delay as it will go to the next one in line but it beats returning a book half read for lack of time. It should help me participate to buddy reads....
Badge #4 has been revealed - Slick and his cousins. He's always got to come to the party. :)Way to go, Rebecca & Lara. Your badges are on your walls.

Thanks Janice, but I finished level 2 this time. I'm eager to see that badge ;-)
