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.


message 1613: by Tammy (new)

Tammy Burger (tammyburger) | 806 comments Janice I thought the points had to be earner in a months time period.

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!


message 1615: by Tammy (new)

Tammy Burger (tammyburger) | 806 comments Thanks Almeta. I will take a good look.

Level 18 is damn good man but the time in which you completed level one i thought you would have been flying high by now


message 1620: by Cherie (new)

Cherie (crobins0) | 21536 comments Haha, Aditya. It was just one of those wonderful happenings, where all of the planets aligned.

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!


message 1622: by Nancy H (new)

Nancy H | 767 comments Just FYI:
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



message 1623: by Roz (new)

Roz | 4529 comments I'm so impressed with the numbers of levels readers are completing. And the numbers of series that are being completed! I hope at the end of the year we can have a full accounting of how many levels and series were read this year. It's going to be an incredible number. My biggest problem is that I keep finding new series to add to the ones I've already committed to. I'm going to be continuing this challenge for a long time.


message 1624: by Cherie (new)

Cherie (crobins0) | 21536 comments Awsome Nancy! For your 30 book series, how many did you read this year?

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!


message 1625: by Bella (new)

Bella | 502 comments Finished Level 7. Kind of a bummer because the book I used to finish the level was worth 105 points and I already had 60 points. But I really wanted to read it.


message 1626: by Cherie (new)

Cherie (crobins0) | 21536 comments Way to go, Bella! Challenges can be real balancing acts.

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!

Susan Guard | 695 comments https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

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. :)
