Series started :
•#4 series started this year from start to finish
•#1 series from before the year to finish.
•#19 books I have read part of some series

I have a question??Are we counting the books we have read or a series as one book? "


Jessica
Every book you read that Goodreads lists as being part of a series counts individually. This includes prequels that an author might add after a series is supposedly complete.

Let's say my challenge goal is 20 (like yours).
If I finish reading a trilogy plus Book 1 of another series, I would report my progress as 4/20.

oshizu | 5762 comments Hello, folks!

The progress of everyone's who has recently posted updates has been updated on page 1 (or will be in 5 minutes).
Also, if you've requested an increased challenge goal, it has been duly raised.

Congrats to those of you who completed your Serial Reader challenge recently: Bailey, Darlene, Eggp, Karin (#95), Woman Reading, and Yana.
I'll be moving you to the Satisfied Serialists roster. Great job!

62/60 books

#54 Frostbite
I'm still not even sure I like this series. I like while I'm reading it but then I finish the book and I wonder if I like the characters enough to continue.

#55 A Court of Frost and Starlight
I feel like this was a money grab book that could have been rolled up into the 4th book in the series but I still loved it.

#56 A ​Court of Silver Flames
This was full of so much struggle and beauty. And far more explicit sexy time than previous books in the series.

#57 Mr. Masters
Supposed to be an age gap romance which isn't my cup of tea but honestly a 25/26 year old to 38/39 doesn't feel like that big of a difference. I didn't like the author trying to force the "immaturity" as it wasn't true to the character IMO.

#58 The Friend Zone
I liked this one mostly BUT I really dislike when one character thinks they know what is best for another character and then makes decisions based on that assumption. It goes beyond miscommunication and goes into utter stupidity.

#59 The Kiss Quotient
I absolutely adored this book and this couple. Michael & Stella had a beautiful bond.

#60 The Bride Test
I feel like this book couldn't even compare to the first book in the series. It was a pale copy and really I can't even remember the heroine's name.

#61 The Heart Principle
I loved Quan and I was looking so forward to his story. However, I'm sure this will be an unpopular opinion but I'm incredibly disappointed. I feel like too much went on between TBT and THP in which I as the reader didn't get to experience and I'm kind of pissed about it.

#62 Hardline
The award for the couple who lives everyday on the edge of miscommunication and utter ruin goes to Blake & Erica. I'll probably finish this series just because I want to know how the long game is played but the fact that after 3 books they still don't communicate effective is annoying.
