5.
6. Hollows #7: White Witch, Black Curse
I've already read #6 and #8 so this will get me prepped for Pale Demon coming out in 2011!
Fantastic idea, Stacy! Well done! I just wish I could join ya. I haven't read any series books out of order. But, if I do, I'll hop in down the road. Good luck! I'm sure some other members will be joining you.
Actually since I've been chatting about Nalini Singh's Psy series this morning, I noticed I have missed out on the shorts within anthologies. Would that count for this challenge?

Yay! I think so. Thanks. I have several series that I've skipped or missed anthology stories or shorts from the author's site. I'll post my reading list soon.
Ha, I could never read a series out of order so unfortunately I can't join in this challenge. I'm a little OCD about skipping books lol!
You said it, Sista! My OCDitis doesn't seem to have any issues missing out on the short stories (probably b/c there's only a couple of authors who's shorts I ever really like), but it most certainly would never stay quiet long enough for me to jump around.
Good challenge idea Stacy. I'm sure I've got some, I'll have a look and come back and post.

I'm also a read-in-order type, but I noticed a lot of shorts in The Hollows on fictfact...might see if I can work those in. Will get back to ya!
I might be in but I have to think about it
Stacy, I've got a couple of books to plug holes but nothing like 6 books all in one series. Is it alright if I use books from different series? If not don't worry.
Oops. I'm not at 6 either. So, looking forward to the answer too.

Excellent Stacy, I'll go round up a list.
Yay! I'm still in then. :)

So far this has been a fun challenge. I've read the first 3 Hollows books and am about to start the 4th. The books are long but very, very good!
Half your luck Stacy, I'm still finishing November challenges before I can get to this one.
Me too. Plus, I think I found another short or two to add. Will do that soon.

OMG! I still haven't signed up!! (Officially, that is!) I'm in...if I survive finals week....48 hours till I'm done or dead! ...mantra of the week....DO NOT KILL the students or there will be no salary...and NEVER accept late assignments again....
ROFL!!! Judithe, get that ruler out to rap 'em on the knuckles!
I'm thinking of borrowing THE WHIP indefinitely....
I thought the object was to get paid?
There is that...but if I TERRIFY them, they might actually be a little more careful of deadlines...I'm just too much of a softy with them....
I keep forgetting about this one. Probably b/c mine's full of anthologies. LOL! Well, at least I have an excuse to read just the one story in those anthologies for now, that's a +. :)

Got one book left but I'm not gonna read it in time. Just wasn't in the mood, and this year I'm not reading books just to finish challenges.
But this was a very good idea Stacy!
:D Good job, Sandra.
At least I got 5 off the tbr. LOL!
That's good enough to keep the shelves from floodin'. LOL @ myself ... get it .... plugging the holes :)

And you did it again. At least I wasn't sipping my coffee this time...

For this challenge you must read a minimum of 6 books. This is a 6 month challenge starting from the time of sign-up.
Plugging the holes should result in a sequential list of at least 6 read books and preferably plug the holes at the beginning of the series first. Meaning... If you have read Book 4 and Book 9, you should consider reading Books 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7.
Clear as mud?
Re-reads don't count unless you have TOTALLY forgotten the storyline.
Do NOT have to be from the same series.
Please edit your original post in order to track your progress.
This is my first time authoring a challenge so I hope I'm not the only one doing it!
