I originally wanted to do that. I may still go in and edit my list later if I can figure out a way to pull it off. Hahaha

Serial Reader Challenge
Duration: 1/1/13-12/31/13
Completed:

List subject to change at anytime.

1) Jack the Page Ripper (15 books):

In Death - 5 books


Midnight Breed - 4 books


McClouds & Friends - 3 books


Ice - 2 books


Raines of Wind Canyon - 1 book


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):

Read a trilogy. An old fashioned trilogy that wraps up at book 3.

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.

How do I do the Spoiler think that I've seen in other posts?? Thanks in Advance (:"

In the upper right hand corner of the box when you are typing is (some html is ok) - if you click on that it shows you how to do links, bold, italics and more. But basically you type < spoiler> at the beginning and < /spoiler > at the end, but without spaces.

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.

When You Dare - Lori Foster 12/08/25 ***


The book began exactly how I like my romance stories: Big, strong Alpha hero and kick-ass, intelligent heroine; exciting plot, lots of action - and then it slowly fades into boredom and lots of trival blah-blah-blah.
Maybe I try another book of this series - but not in near future.

The Darkest Hour - Maya Banks 12/10/02 ***


Difficult: The hero is ridiculously overprotective and overcautions and - yes whiny. The heroine is the ridiculously perfect person everyone loves and - yes whiny too. (Maya Banks has a way to overdo the description of her characters.) But considering what they both endured they have all the reason in the world to act like they did. I just didn't like it. I missed character development, I missed them both working on their relationship and working on their demons from the past. I think I give the other books in the series a try - but keep on searching for a series I really will love.

Shadow's claim - Kresley Cole 12/12/23 *****

That's it! Wonderful book with lot's of romance, action, fantasy - just how I like it! I will definitely read other series from the author. I liked both the heroine and the hero in this book very much. But also the sidekicks are very interesting and I can't wait who of them will be the hero in the next book





4) Author-ican Psycho: Guild Hunter - Nalini Singh

1. Angels Blood
13/03/06 * even worser than the first book I read from this author ...
