Just think of the money we saved this month on paperweights!
Lol, we could do weight-lifting with them!"

Uhm ... I thought all books were paperweights!

Update Message #14: 2/10

Daring and the Duke (Bareknuckle Bastards #3)
500 Miles from You (Scottish Bookshop #3)

Two romance finishes in different series already! I liked 500 Miles from You better than Daring and the Duke, but both were good.

[Mie]

Welcome, Nicole 🤗
As for your question: yes, it counts - all series books except book 1, so go ahead and (re)start your series 👍

[Mie]

Sign me up for 5 books.

And I already finished the first one. Rules of War book 2 of the Jack Steele trilogy by Iain Gale. This is a book that I have had a hard time getting a hold of as it was written in England and didn't see the US distribution that the first book did. It was languishing on my TBR list for a couple years, then I found an audio book on, of all places, YouTube. So, now to find book 3.

Progress : 1/4

Finished Mostly Harmless and therefore the Hitch Hiker's Guide to Galaxy series

It was a series I started around March and absolutely loved. I somehow never got around to reading the last book. Finally thanks to Serial Slayers, it's done.

I had imagined the challenge being useful for getting through a series, not the other way around - glad to hear it works either way, hahaha 😂

[Greg]

Certain Prey, book 10 of the Lucas Davenport series by John Sandford. I started this series a long time ago and remember to read one now and again. This is actually the second in this series for this year. Read book 9 back in May.
