Dee wrote: "Dumb question but shouldn’t square number be 3 trilogies/books by author (3x3 is a square number, 2x3 isn’t)"
Not dumb at all - I was thinking more of the way it looks in my head... 3 to the power of 2?
maybe I should've made it 3x3 so you have to read 9 books!

Coralie, I wondered the same thing as I have a lot of series that I have read the first book and haven't yet continued the series. So, Tien...what do you say?
P.S. I did find 2 new trilogies on my New Series shelf.

Coralie wrote: "Would the next three books in two series be acceptable?"
It seems to me they would fall under the "Read 2x 3 books of an author (ie. 6 books from 2 authors, 3 from each author)" provision. At least I have been assuming so.
But, as Bea says, Tien has the final say on this.
