√ The Golden Scales (A Makana Mystery, #1)
√ 2) Una-book-bomber (5/5 books):
Read one book from each of the genres. It does not have to be the first book in the series, but it must be a series book, not a stand-alone:
√ 1. chick-lit - The Roommate (The Roommate, #1) - Rosie Danan
√ 2. romance - Reawakened at the South Pole - Juliette Hyland
√ 3. mystery - Beneath the Waves (Kira Hunter, #1) - Nora Cabot
√ 4. pnr/urban-fantasy/fantasy/sci-fi - Shifting Sides (A Shift in Space, #0.5) - Danielle Forrest
√ 5. young adult - The Limping Murderer (The One With Blue Eyes, #3) - Seryna Asola
√ 3) Spree Series Killer (1/1 book):
Try out a totally new author. If the book turns out to be a stinker, you have to TRY AGAIN. Repeat until you find a series that you like and are willing to keep on reading in the future.
√ Hope, Faith, and a Corpse (A Faith Chapel Mystery, #1) - Laura Jensen Walker
√ 4) Author-ican Psycho (1/1 book)
Try a book from the author you've "given up" on - call it one more try. It can be the same series you previously found only so-so, or a totally different series by the same author. It's up to you.
√ The Weed That Strings the Hangman's Bag (Flavia de Luce, #2) - Alan Bradley
√5) Dr. Hannibal Lecturer (1/1 book):
Start on that series that everybody is praising so much but you keep postponing it for later. Just read it already. Go on!
√ Magpie Murders (Susan Ryeland, #1) - Anthony Horowitz
6) The Book Strangler (2/2 books):
Read a whole series from the beginning to the end (or to the last published book). You choose whether it's going to be a 15-book-long-monster or a 1-book-long-freshly-started-baby series...
Thursday Murder Club series - Richard Osman (2/2)
√ The Thursday Murder Club (Thursday Murder Club, #1)
√ The Man Who Died Twice (Thursday Murder Club, #2)
7) 3rd Degree (3/3 books):
Read a trilogy. An old fashioned trilogy that wraps up at book 3.
The Frankie Scarmazino Trilogy - Cy Young
√ 1. Kicker: Going the Distance
√ 2. Kicker Two: Clearing the High Bar
√ 3. Kicker Three
√ BONUS: Bloody Mary (1 book):
A series with a strong female kick-ass protagonist, something like: police detective, body builder, warrior. So for example LKH Anita Blake would work.
√ Aeverless 3.2 (book 1) - Jones Harwell
