i have never done a challenge before im only new to Goodreads :) its an awesome site!!"

Angela - the books don't necessarily have to be ones that you haven't read before. I have several this month that are re-reads for me because I have a number of series that I am trying to re-read before the new books in the series get released. But books you haven't read before are best.

As for which books to pick, each month they give us different catagories or such that we have to fit for the books. This month is an easier and fun one. The challenge is to read 10 books that are all from different series. It can be the first book in the series or the last, that doesn't matter, but no two books that you pick should be from the same series!

So, go ahead and pick your books, list the ten on here, and then as you finish them, repost your list but showing which ones you've already done. Hope that helps!

Have fun! It's always a lot of fun to challenge yourself to make it through the list by the end of the month!

There's a option "some html is ok". It shows you the different codes and for strike is <"s> ...<"/s> ;) (without the "-s)

Mel, where have you been?? I wanted to tell you that I read Curse the Dawn and I am starting to like your JP. I laughed so many times in this book. I could not get enough of it. It was the best so far for me. The drag queens were great as well. I posted on Karen Chance this morning on the Were-Love group site. Is there gonna be another book in that series?

There will be another trilogy linked to this one with the same world, different experiment and different kids though Derek, Chloe & co will meet up them at some point. The first book will come out next year and is called The Gathering.

[Desperado]

I've tried really hard to get into Kelley Armstrong's YA series but i am such a little bitch when it comes to ghosts.I won't even watch Casper the Friendly Ghost.

[Judithe]

OK...feeling rather stupid here, but how do you "strike out" the text? I can do it in other programs, but not here (on firefox if that makes a difference)

[Kelley Anne]

I forgot that The Reckoning was about to come out! I need to do a quick re-read of the first two I think. Hmmm...I guess my list is about to change again!
