Thanks, Janice. I just looked at it and it is great! You are doing a wonderful job with the badges! I am already working on the next one!
Congratulations, Nancy! Double homicide in Level 2 - way to go!

Your badge is on your wall, Beth!
Finally done with section 1. 1 series started and 2 series killed. 150 points. Not too shabby
Yay, Travis! Welcome to the killer club!! That was hard work.
Were there any dragons in your books, Travis? If not, there's one on your wall now.

You just slid past me, Dawn. I am still making my way through the last two books on my level 4 list. Congratulations! (Thanks for giving me the last title for the City Watch series. I was missing that. ☺)
Good going, Dawn and Connie.
You did slide past Cherie, and your badge reflects that Dawn. Slick is back!
It never occured to me when I saw it on Rebecca's wall that it was populated with multiple Slicks. I still think they are too cute looking though. :0)
Well Slick is a handsome devil, he and his buddies can't help it.For the newbies, Slick was born when I said that I read at a snail's pace. We used to be able to import ticker tapes and I used a snail to show my progress. Somehow, he was named Slick. Over time, he kind of morphed into a slug and now he's a shape shifter and alternates between snail and slug form. He's kind of become the group's mascot.

I remember hearing the story last year, when we were starting the chunkster challenge.
I think I'm in for the long haul, Dawn. I'm still reeling from the mind boggling number if books I have to look forward to reading and the number of books I already have on hand to choose from. Does that stop me from buying more books or looking at more series to consider? A big NO to both! I spent three hours yesterday evening looking up all of the Discworld book titles and editing my paper list into all of the rightful series (at least as posted on GR). I still need to edit my series thread to update them. I am not sure if I will add the others, but I am glad I have the list. My first post in my challenge thread is getting too unwieldy to edit easily, especially from my tablet. I wish we could insert sometimes.
level 1 killed for me...one to the next round of slaughter
Hey Marcus! Welcome to becoming a serial killer!
Cherie wrote: "Hey Marcus! Welcome to becoming a serial killer!"Thanks...it just feels right somehow :-)

Woo-hoo! I did much better in the month of January than I thought I would. 6 series killed off! Have I mentioned lately that I LOVE this challenge?!? Level 3 done and two more series killed:
2 more series caught up:
Home for the Homicide - Jennie Bentley - #7 in series - done! Points 70+5 = 75
Hasty Death - Marion Chesney - Edwardian Mystery series - done! (4 books in series) 40 + 5 = 45
Another one read:
Wife of the Gods - Kwei Quartey - 5 points
Total for Level 3: 125 points
Congrats Marcus and Nancy!
Your badge is on your wall, Nancy!
Hi there! Is this thread where I report my kill? I've posted on my thread as well (https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...) . Since this is my first challenge I don't have a wall and am not sure how to get one. But I am excited about it! (Since I don't have an exotic name - I'm the one with the bunny with glasses on her profile).Thanks! And as I saw is a tradition for some from a different YLTO thread - rabbit, rabbit!
Yes, you do have a wall, Susan. It was created this morning and there are already a couple of badges on it. Go have a gander... or should I say 'hop on over'.https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...
Welcome to the killer club, Susan!Nancy - well done with your Level 3 homicides!

Thanks, Cherie!
Thanks everyone! Already plotting my next serial kill.
Your badge is on your wall, Tasha.
Wonderful, Tasha! Welcome to the killers club!
Hi Janice, my level four victims are gonners! Please slide those cousins of Slick onto my wall.
Cherie wrote: "Wonderful, Tasha! Welcome to the killers club!"thanks Cherie
I completed level one! Is it wrong that I'm excited to officially be a serial killer? LOL
Slip sliding away... Slick has visited your wall, Cherie.
