Tamara's semi-committed book challenges... comments are fine

[Tamara]

I've read the explanation for doing these (creating my own thread, weirdly, within this group - but not so weird when I understand), and have decided to try it out. It might be helpful for keeping track within the site - seeing it all here - and also feeling not alone as I see others' progress.

I'm semi-committed because I'm not really a book-challenge person. It's just about reading whatever books seem good. But the ones I've chosen will help me discover a few new books, which is always needed, since so many have been read and the ones I like are hard to find, and, of course, to actually read those I'm thinking of reading at some point.

Challenges for this year are both kind of carried over from last year. One comment for each challenge.
Finish the Series Bingo (sort of like the real name)
Alphabet challenge

Finish the Series Bingo

I've combined this year's bingo card with last year's, since I didn't finish them, and there are some squares I want to do again.

New-to-you author: Shroud of Prophecy (this could also go in 'fresh off the press')
Debut author: The Invisible Library - 1 left
Trilogy: Scholomance (1 to go - not out yet - all published read)

Science Fiction: Skyward - 3 of 4 out; 2 of 4 read (Cytonic to read this year)
Longer series: The Stormlight Archive - 2 of 6 read (4 main; 2 novellas)
Duology:

Fresh off the press: Winterlight (Book 7 of Green Rider, latest out; published last year)
Fantasy/Re-telling/Audio-book: Attolia/Queen's Thief
Binge-read:

* Not considering 'The Other Side of the Sky' duology anymore. The sample was okay, until it was weird. When it mentioned threesomes.... and for an 18-year-old....🤨

* Can't do, 'Read all the extra books', because our libraries don't carry the novellas for Starsight.

Alphabet Challenge

Continuing from last year, with additions for this year in some letter categories. Will see how well I go with filling those from this year's reading, and how much needs to be carried over from last year. Just including fiction, because non-fiction makes it too easy. * This is a list of read books, not liked ones.

I loved the Queen's Thief series.
