Tammy, you have 75 points right now. All you need to do is read the last two books in either The Earth Children series or the Tudor Court series, and you're done.

Nope. In a whole year!
The Tudor Court and the Earth Children series have pretty big books.
You already have 25 points for the Earth Children series.
You have already 15 points for the Tudor Court series.
Seems as though your Bells of Lowell series or your Insanity series could work as well....SMALLER BOOKS!
You have 5 points for the Bells of Lowell series.
You have 15 points for the Insanity series...AND if you really did read Figment in July 2015 (not rated), then you have 20 points. Read Wonder(Insanity #5) to complete that series for 75 points.
25 Earth's Children
15 The Tudor Court
05 Bells of Lowell
20 Insanity
65 subtoal
55 Read this one book before the end of the year Wonder (or 65 for the last of the Earth Children series, which is larger)
120 points Total (130)
I think I calculated correctly.
You can do it Tammy!☺ I want you to get your badge!

Congratulations for finishing your Level 2, Aditya!
No - I am currently working on my Level 18. :0)

I simply happened to have purchased the latest book in a long, on-going series that I had been reading for years. I was able to read and finish it on the very first day of the challenge and be the first one to claim my first level and get the first badge in the challenge. Total serendipity.
Many levels have been much more work. It took 14 books to finish them but the reading has been awsome.

I know exactly how you feel! I'm only in a few levels myself, but it DOES feel good to knock of a few of those series!

Level 21
The Cat Who Dropped a Bombshell - Lillian Jackson Braun - (30 books in series - all read!) - 100+5 = 105 points
Points in Level 21 = 105
Total series killed: 30


Roz - we are in the same boat. I never thought seriously about series books before. When you read favorites as they come out, the number of books never seems like a big deal. When you have to sit down and plan for a quantity to read for a challenge like this, it becomes near paralyzing and you keep finding more and more to read!

Hi Cherie,
Of this series, I read 4 this year to finish it out. I thought I had read most of them, but when I went back and checked all of the ones in the series, I was missing four, so I decided that I needed to get them done this year in this great, motivating challenge!

I've been trying to keep up with my wall but have missed reporting here - so levels 33 and 34 have gone down and I'm working on 35. I spent some time early this morning plotting to get to the end of the calendar year and this challenge. I'm trying to figure out how to maximize my points per level and kill off those last series that I have hanging on. I'm also trying so very hard to avert my eyes to avoid being tempted by all of you and your books. :)

Amanda and Lanelle - Congratulations and Welcome to the Level 5 Serial Killers Club!
Susan - minimize the points for maximum killing and more levels!
