This quarter we're doing something a little different. We're going to start the year right and get a bunch of our unread series read!

Challenge duration: January 1st - March 31st

Pick a level with the number of series you hope to finish in the next 3 months:

Level 1: 1-5 series
Level 2: 6-10 series
Level 3: 11+ series

And here are some fun prompts to help you out:

Spell out the word! You can pick one or all the words, but each letter of your word must correspond with the first letter of the title or the first/last initial of the author's name. (It's up to you whether you count 'The' or 'A' as the first word in the title).

FINISH THE SERIES

Category 1:

A book published 5+ years ago
A book published in the last half of 2021
A book in a series that finished publishing in 2021
Get caught up on a series whose last book will/has come out in 2022
Read the latest release in any series

Category 2:

A book with more than 500 pages
A book with less than 200 pages

Category 3:

Finish a series you started 5+ years ago
Finish a series you started in 2021
Finish a series where you only have one book left to read
Finish a series where you have 2+ books left to read
Start and finish a series
Finish any series

Category 4:

A novella/short story that is part of a series
A spinoff/companion novel to a series

You can mix and match the categories and read as many or as little books as you'd like. However, for this challenge, all the books MUST be part of a series.

Let me know if you have any questions! Have fun and happy reading! ?

message 14: by Gord (new)

Gord | 966 comments Alright I've got a question and yes I'm thinking outside of the box again. This is all in regards to "a book in a series that finished publishing in 2021"

I read a manga that is a collectors edition. Now the collector editions are still being printed as it's just reprinting the material that is already available. The author for the source material died last year and there has been no announcement as to whether the series will continue or not. It's standard though that if a manga author passes the series ends there.

Would that work or am I stretching it a bit to far?

Liliana (lililostinabook) | 2878 comments Mod
I think it's fine. As long as the last book in the series was published in 2021. Whether it's because the series wrapped up or the author unfortunately died, either is fine.
