Serial Killer Reading Challenge 2022
Duration: February 1, 2022 ~ January 31, 2023
So Serial Readers, are you up for the challenge?!
Just how crazy are you? Are you ready to SLAY those series? Finish some old ones, start some new ones?
If you complete all the tasks, you will have read 28+ books in 15+ different series.
Join at any time through the year - it's ok to back date if books were started after February 1!
1) Jack the Page Ripper (15 books):
Take 5 series of your choice and read:
• 5 books from 1st series
• 4 books from 2nd
• 3 books from 3rd
• 2 books from 4th
• 1 book from the last one
•
These can be new-to-you series, or already started series. You do not have to be start with the first book in the series.
2) Una-book-bomber (5 books):
Read one book from five different genres. You can use the five below or pick your own five distinct genres. Challenge yourself to go outside your comfort zone! It does not have to be the first book in the series, but it must be a series book, not a stand-alone.
• romance
• mystery
• urban-fantasy/fantasy/sci-fi
• young adult
• your favorite genre
3) Spree Series Killer (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.
4) Author-ican Psycho (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.
5) Dr. Hannibal Lecturer (1 book):
Start on that series that everybody is praising so much but you keep postponing for later.
Just read it already. Go on!
6) The Book Strangler (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 2-book-long-freshly-started-baby series, but there must be at least 2 books, because it's not really a series yet if there's just 1!
7) 3rd Degree (3 books):
Read a trilogy. An old-fashioned trilogy that wraps up at book 3.
BONUS: Bloody Mary (1 book):
Read a book in a series with a strong female kick-ass protagonist, something like: police detective, body builder, warrior, bounty hunter...
Good Luck and Enjoy!
