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? ;)
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? :)
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). :)
Mary wrote: "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 ..."Hehehehe. My life is one big book avalanche ;)
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.
Nice girls don't have fangs - Molly Harper finished December 31
20 out of 30 books read on December 31

2 from 4th
1 from the last one

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.
Julie wrote: "Is it too late to do this it sounds awsome?"Definitely not. Put your list together, post your entry and give yourself a year to complete the challenge.

Does anyone have a recommendation for me for a series that they really like? I have read alot of series but can't think of a new one to try!

"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.
