Ok I'm in. Going to finish of my monthly first. That will give me some time to think up which series I am going to read.Duration - December 22, 2011 - December 22, 2012
Books Read 26/29
1) Jack the Page Ripper (15 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:

young adult
4) Author-ican Psycho (1 book)
Under the Radar
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.

Start on that series that everybody is praising so much but you keep postponing it for later.

Honestly, I only realized that when I was looking at the recognition thread. I am almost ashamed to admit that I was looking for my name when I don't do any of these challenges for acknowledgement, I do them because they are fun. So, thank you for the congratulations! This one was really fun because I love series - I should probably look into starting it again!
