Hello there, Karin wearing the red top (msg #95)!!
Because you'd completed at least one book for this challenge before I last fully updated everyone's progress on 4 January, your name appears instead on the Active Serialists list. 🤘

Mini Announcement for Serial Reader

Updating Your Progress
Be sure to post your update comment by Jan 15th, because I'll be doing a full update of Ze Lists on Jan 16th.
For our new members, a gentle reminder that I do not check your sign-up posts when I update, so you need to post an update comment with your original (sign-up) msg # and current progress.
Example:
Update to msg #x: 2/12

If you do not include your current progress in that format, your update comment is likely to be "overlooked."

The textual tiers look clunky on Ze List, so I'll be replacing them with the icons below from Jan 16th:
01-10: Serial Dabbler ⛺
11-20: More than a Vacation Reader 📕
21-30: Shelf Stacker 📚
31-40: Under the Covers Reader 🛌
41-50: Serious about Serials 🧗‍♀️

I missed this message... so sorry. Thanks for the welcome! Happy to be here. I love reading books that are a part of a series. I rarely read standalone books. I enjoy getting invested with the characters and seeing where the stories go.

Welcome to Serial Reader.
You can join any of the group's challenge as long as it's active if you think you can manage the goal you've set. :)

Since you've read 3 books already, I've added you to the Active Serialists list on page 1. Happy reading.

2021 Reading Challenge
Serial Reader - 2021
Duration: January 1 to December 31, 2021

Progress: 11 out of 60

Back by popular demand! This challenge encourages you to dive into and make progress on all those wonderful series out there, just waiting for your attention and time. You can read them all for this challenge: long series, short series, companion books, and novellas!
The only rule is that a qualifying book must be described by Goodreads as part of a series.
You don’t need to read the whole series at once. Feel free to finish a series or two that you began in 2020 or earlier, try out the first book in several series, or just enjoy that long-awaited sequel!

How to Participate:
(view spoiler)[
1. Post in this thread to inform the challenge leader that you'd like to join the challenge. You can choose your books for the challenge at the beginning, or add them as you go. You can join a challenge at any time, as long as the challenge is still active. You must choose a goal for the challenge.

Filling in the blanks below might help you guesstimate your challenge goal:
I will start __ series this year. (# books)
I will finish __ series I have started before this year. (# books)
I will read __ series from start to finish this year. (# books)
I will read __ books that are part of a series. (# books)
My total number of books is _____


2. Post in this thread to let the challenge leader know so they can update your progress. Please be sure to post the number of books you have completed and the number of your original (sign-up) message every time you post an update.
The challenge leader is not able to keep track of your total number of books for you because of the number of participants in the challenge. The number of the original post is used to identify you, as there can be many members with the same name. The challenge leader will not look at this post to track your progress.
Example:
message 32 updated! 2/25

For more information about how challenges work, check out this thread or ask your challenge leader.

Important: Please do not delete posts! It makes updating very confusing for the challenge leader and other participants. If you decide to leave the challenge, please just let us know. You can edit your original post to say {redacted}. Thank you!

Let’s have a fantastic reading journey together in 2021!

Question I was wondering about:
Would you count a book for this challenge if only one book has come out, but it has been announced that there will be a sequel, so technically it’s ‘book 1’ in a series that is currently 1 book long?

Yes, absolutely.
But also, when you check the book's Goodreads description, is it described as Book 1?

Last June, I counted A Memory Called Empire for my 2020 Serial Reader challenge, even though Book 2 isn't scheduled for release until March 2021.
