I know Dawn!! I find it hard to believe myself. I'm not sure about finishing - how about just getting to the second or third in the series LOL

[Barb]

For me, the real challenge would be not to start any new series until I finish some of the others I've already started!

I think that challenge might be too much, sometimes new recs are too hard to pass up.

[Barb]

I agree, Dawn! I've been keeping track of the new series I've started this year, but I haven't checked the total lately. I'm afraid too LOL

Yes you can back date

[Catherine]

how does this work...I only put series that I started this year.....but do I have to complete each one or only read 1st in series?

Catherine wrote: "how does this work...I only put series that I started this year.....but do I have to complete each one or only read 1st in series?"

yes only put series the you started this year or if you only read the first book in the series last year you can add that to the list. And no you don't have to complete each series

[Sanskriti]

I love reading books that are a part of a series. Maybe there could be a challenge to finish a series already started?

For this one I'll limit myself to strictly reading 1st in a series that is absolutely new to me...
