Well, shoot! I've been so focused on staying on top of the 2022 yearly challenges I'm leading that I forgot to update Serial Reader a week ago. The progress of everyone's who has recently posted updates has been updated on page 1.

Congratulations to Chalmation, Regina, Snezana, and Sue for completing their challenges since the last full update. Well done!

A big congratulations of Amy, Armand, Dubhease, and Sarah for achieving their respective Serial Reader challenge goals.
I've moved you over to the Satisfied Serialists roster. Great job!

Thanks partially to these four, we now have more satisfied serialists (42) than active serialists (39), boosting our completion rate to 51.9%!
Two more days left in the year, but I want you to know that leading Serial Readers this year has been a very satisfying experience for me. 🧡

I'll be updating again around Jan 1st. Final update is around Jan 10th after which I'll be archiving this thread.
Best wishes to everyone for a fantastic 2022!

Final update to Message #70.
Progress: Books 137/100 | Continued Series Completed: 8 | New Series Completed: 16

My series reading did not go according to plan since I didn't finish all I'd hoped to, and added several new-to-me series along the way. But it certainly was a very productive year, even if I did stray from the plan.

Thanks so much for leading this challenge, oshizu!

Hello Joey
You already completed your challenge in November, but in the future would you make sure to post your progress as a fraction like all the other participants?
I did try reading through your post but couldn't figure out how many books you read for this challenge.
So I'm leaving your progress the same as your last update. Sorry!

P.S. I tried messaging you but you are not accepting messages.

Hello Gwen,

I would love to move you to the roster of Satisfied Serialists, but you never actually posted a comment stating your challenge goal.

Would you please review the instructions on updating your progress (in this thread's 1st post), then post a new comment stating your progress (in terms of books read) as a fraction?

Thank you.

Edited to add: Thank you for responding to my message.
Your progress has been updated in the rosters.
Congrats on finishing.
