2015 - I've Killed a Level, Badge me!
Cherie wrote: "Multiple murders for Level 5, Nancy. Way to knock them off and bag the last serial killer badge!"Thanks, Cherie, I am so addicted that I am continuing to off the many series I have started!
You've been badged, Marcus.
Marcus wrote: "Level 2 eliminated"Way to go, Marcus!
I have completed level 1 and level 2. Please badge me for both.Thanks
Hi Janice! I've finished level 1. Unfortunately, I have only killed off one series so far, and started 7 new ones.
Congratulations, Ari. Welcome to the Series Killer Club! In your case, the Cereal Killers! Killing one and adding 7 sounds about right. ☺
Ari, your badge is waiting for you on your wall. The risk you run of doing any challenge in YLTO is adding more books to your wishlist.
Janice wrote: "I created your wall, and your badges are there."How cool! Thanks
@ Cherie Thanks! I see you're killing it, four levels already!@Janice Don't I know it. Though, before I started, I kept running out of books to read, so this is actually excellent. Thanks for the badge, it is super cute!
Great news, Jannene. Welcome to the Series Killer club!
You've been badged! This has been a busy day for badges. :)
One more, Janice? I just "offed" my Level 5 victims. No more badges for me, but I will continue slaughtering the series, burying the books, and adding to the late list.
Congrats! Cherry, you're the biggest killer of us all :-)
Congrats Cherie :-) The app change your name ;-)
Thanks, Berit. No worries about the name.
OMG Cherie! Well done and I am now scared of you and your killing prowess!! :-)And well done everyone else trying to stay hot on her heels!!
Cherie is definitely the biggest serial killer among us!
Cherie and Debra, your badges are posted.
Thanks, Janice! That's 7 series I'm up-to-date on this year. I'm in serial heaven!
That's awesome, Debra. I've killed two so far this year.
Debra wrote: "Cherie is definitely the biggest serial killer among us!"No, Rebecca is on Level 14. She definately leading the pack!
14????!!!! I'm flabbergasted. That is just amazzzzzing!
I think this challenge will yield some interesting results at the end of the year.Not that Janice goes out of her way to set up the Yearly challenges so that YLTO members can compete with each other, but we seem to do it regardless. First we compete with the titles. Then the lists. Then who can be first to get a badge, or read a book, or what ever. Then to see who can get the most levels done. And then to see who can read the most books. It is just in our nature.
What you said about my being the biggest serial killer is not exactly correct. Not counting Rebecca who is in a speciall class all her own, you have actually finished off more series than I have. I have only killed one series on each of my five levels. I have a lot of series to go. ☺
This challenge really "challenges" us to decide how we want to go about earning the level badges. It all comes down to how many books we want to read and how many books are in the series we choose to kill off. Along with that, it comes down to how many books we want to read for the new series we start. There are so many different ways to compute the points for the levels.
Rebecca is a "speedy" reader. I can't comprehend it either, but I think it is an amazing ability.
I haven't killed the most - yet, but I sure have been having fun doing it!
Hi! I have finished level 1 of the Serial Killer challenge. Yay!
You've been badged, Amanda.

The major premise is to challenge ourselves. Like Cherie says, the rest just kind of happens. A little friendly competitiveness doesn't hurt.
Awesome! Since this is first ever challenge, where do I go to see to badge.
Yay Amanda! Welcome to the Serial Killer club!
I'm just competing with myself, seeing how many I can actually finish. I enjoy reading series, anyway, so this challenge is just right for me.
Amanda wrote: "Awesome! Since this is first ever challenge, where do I go to see to badge."I see that you found it. Any time you want to look at your badges, head over to the Wall of Fame folder.
Debra wrote: "I'm just competing with myself, seeing how many I can actually finish. I enjoy reading series, anyway, so this challenge is just right for me."I primarily just compete with myself too. But, seeing others do so well gives me motivation.
Welcome to the Series Killer Club, Lynda!
Your collection of badges is growing, Lynda.
I have completed Level 1. Yay!
Janice wrote: "You've been badged, Lisa."Thanks Janice!
Janice wrote: "Your collection of badges is growing, Lynda."The task-completion oriented individual inside of me thanks you.
Lisa is a serial killer! Welcome to the club, Lisa!
You have caught me red handed Cherie! ;)
Level Four has gone down with a bullet! Two series with one level! Onward!https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

Also, Nancy H has reached the heights with Badge #5. Don't stop though Nancy. There may be surprises at the end of the year."
Thanks, Janice. I am continuing and my goal is to kill off at least 12 levels and maybe even 24 series by year's end. Badges or no badges, I am now completely hooked on this challenge.
