[Lilisa]

Thanks Cherie - and I guess you're not getting the 2015 trophy after all :-) amazing the number of series a few folks have killed - wow!

[Stephanie]

Thanks, Janice :)
Thanks, Cherie :)

[Tammy]

I Killed level 1!
Late to the game, but I did it.

[Janice, Moderator]

You've been badged, Tammy.

[Cherie]

Welcome to the Serial Killer Club, Tammy!

[Debra]

Ok, I did my darnedest and finished 14 levels. I was reading a lot of series this year, and will continue to do so. I love series! So, this was a great challenge for me. Sorry, I've been doing more reading than posting! Congrats to everyone who finished 1 or more levels! We rock!

[Janice, Moderator]

We do rock, and 14 levels is nothing to sneeze at.

[Cherie]

Sweet, Debra! You tied with your sister on levels, but which one killed more series? LOL.

[Caitlin]

I finished one level! And that's all I care about!

I finished the Bloodlines series.
- 6 Book Series for 60 points
- For the challenge I complete books 2 - 5 for 25 points
- I also read books 2 and 3 of the A Beautiful Dark trilogy for 10 points
- And finally I read Bearing an Hourglass for 5 points

That's 100 points and all books from series! Yay!

Yay Caitlin!! Congratulations on powering through and finishing the level.

Welcome to the Serial Killer Club, Caitlin!

[Michelle T.]

I killed 4 levels, please badge me!!!

[Janice, Moderator]

Michelle, I looked at your thread and I think you've misunderstood the challenge.

In order to complete a level, you need to complete at least one series AND score a minimum of 100 points in that level. Once you completed a level, you start the next level. You cannot read books from level 4 before you finish level 2.

Unfortunately, I cannot give you the level 4 badge, but I can give you the level 2 badge. It's on your wall.

[Theresa~OctoberLace]

I've finished Level Seven, and you can see the details here. I know there are no more badges for this, but it's good to finish another anyway. Looks like I'm finishing the year with Poldarks, witches, vampires, and dreamy Highlanders, with a bit of Murakami and classics mixed in.

I look forward the 2016 Challenge, too!

[Janice, Moderator]

You have eclectic tastes, Theresa. I'm hoping against hope to finish level 9. I have my doubts.

[Lynda]

Listening to everyone hit the year end levels, I feel like I need to rush to my book right now and get reading. I have three books to finish plus a couple more graphic novels for my bonus level 13! A baker's dozen.

[Cherie]

Above and beyond, Theresa! Congratulations!

[Cherie]

Congratulations on finishing Level 2, Michelle T!

You can do it, Lynda!!! If you do then I get to say "welcome to the teen serial killer club". ^-^

[Sam F]

I finally did it! I finished at least one series this year - but only a trilogy. Red Rover, Oranges and Lemons, Yellow Vengeance

When I look at my Message 2 post, Sam F's Serial Adventure 2015, I can see I spent more time starting new series than I did finish them. But, I have enough starts to add up to 100! Hoorary!

Now I can spend 2016 trying to finish the rest. The spree continues. :)

[Janice, Moderator]

You've been badged, Sam.

[Cherie]

Another first level killer! Welcome to the Serial Killer Club, Sam!

[Marie Claude]

Killed level 13 last night :) I'm glad I succeeded to kill more than one level for each month ;o)

So here are the books I've read for that level:

Level 13

[Bella]

Finished Levels 11 and 12.

[Cherie]

Welcome to the Teen Serial Killer Club, Marie Claude!

[Cherie]

Awesome, Bella!!!

I have no idea! But my sister seems to beat me on all counts when it comes to number of books read, etc. I read a lot of books in series this year, but some were long series, and many were very large books. One of George R. R. Martin books clocked in as my highest # of pages read with over 1100 pages!

[Deborah]

I have killed off two more levels - to Level 8.

Greeting and Happy Chrissy to you all :)

[Cherie]

Sweet, Deborah!! Great work making your way through your series and killing them off!

[Ava Catherine]

Finished level 7

[Cherie]

Yay, Connie!

[Anna]

Finished level 4

[Janice, Moderator]

Your badge is on your wall, Anna.

[Mariab]

At last, I have killed 1 level...
Black Dagger Brotherhood Series
I finished two books for that:
The Shadows which is the 13th. book in the serie (somewhat OK)
and also
Blood Kiss
which actually was ANOTHER new serie (Black Dagger Legacy) :-(((
and very, very dissapointing

[Janice, Moderator]

You've been badged, Mariab.

[Mariab]

Thanks, Janice!

[Sam]

I have killed my tenth and last level!

Excellent slaying everyone! :-D

[Camilla]

Wonderful news and Welcome to the Serial Killer Club!!!!

[Cherie]

Sam - Welcome to the double digits Serial Killer Club!

Camilla - you did great! Looks like your new series will need more management next year, like the rest of us. :o)

[Sarah]

I've finished level 5 and I'm done =]

[Cherie]

Congratulations, Sarah! Welcome to the Level 5 Serial Killer Club.

[Cherie]

She has not posted here, but I believe Wanda needs to be given "Welcome to the double digit Serial Killer Club".

[Janice, Moderator]

Your level 5 badge is on your wall, Sarah.

[Rusalka, Moderator]

I have finished Level 4 with 32 hours to spare. Thanks Janice for a wonderful challenge!

[Lori Z]

Woohoo! Finished my challenge by completing level 15.

Thank you, Janice, it was a great challenge and apparently I can't be rehabilitated because I plan to continue killing off those series.

[Almeta]

I really didn't think I'd make this level when I started it, but slow holidays and easy stories like the Rumpole, Charlie Chan and Brother Cadfael series made it possible.
