Mary E. (jujjy) | 125 comments OK, I know this challenge is designed to help us clear some TBRs and complete reading series that we've all left hanging. But is it just me, or does reading this thread just make you add more books to your list? LOL! I keep finding new series that I haven't explored yet, and I'm afraid I'm just going to add more to my pile than I'm going to get rid of! Not complaining, mind you. Just wondering if anyone else suffers from this compulsion? ;)


message 134: by FlibBityFLooB (new)

FlibBityFLooB I'm almost done with this challenge, but I loved it so much that I may want to sign up again? It helped me get through a lot of my series quickly, because I could read the books back-to-back.

Is that kosher, to sign up again for a challenge when it's completed? :)


message 135: by Mary E. (new)

Mary E. (jujjy) | 125 comments Now there's an idea, Flib! Now I don't feel guilty about adding so many new series to my TBRs while trying to clear the ones I've started... I can just keep starting over with this challenge until I've read them all (or until I'm killed under a book avalanche, whichever happens first). :)

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.

The Gardella Vampire Chronicles are good if you like historical PNR, Black Dagger Brotherhood for more contemporary PNR, Cassie Palmer for UF, Blue Bloods or The Morganville Vampires for YA, The Long Fall for mystery/suspense.

What about the Night Huntress books (everyone really seems to like them and I'm giving them a go as part of my serial reader challenge). I took a look at your shelf and I couldn't see them on there.
