2) Una-book-bomber (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:
chick-lit
romance
mystery
pnr/urban-fantasy/fantasy/sci-fi
young adult
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 it for later.
Just read it already. Go on!
6) The Book Strangler (1+ 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...
7) 3rd Degree (3 books):
Chesapeake Bay by Nora Roberts
BONUS: Bloody Mary (1 book):
A series with a strong female kick-ass protagonist, something like: police detective, body builder, warrion. So for example LKH Anita Blake would work.
