The Challenge Factory discussion

September 2016 Finish What You've Started (Series) Challenge:

Please post your shelves. NO COMMENTS in this thread please, during the posting phase. After I post the pairings, it will add a link to the shelf, and then you can add discussion comments.

How It Will Work:
1) Please only post a list of 5 series that you have Already Started but now, you would like to get current on. There must be a minimum of TWO books remaining in your series.

*When listing your series, please only list the bookcovers in the series you have NOT read yet.

**Novellas are optional.

2) An assigned person will pick ONE series from your post series.

3) You have one month: SEPTEMBER 2016 to try to read as many books in that series as you can—minimum two books in that series. (*if you don't, it's okay because this challenge is for YOUR ENJOYMENT!)

4) Please try to select for your pair ASAP as we all get excited and waiting is torture to some. Please make a separate post in the thread when you pick for your pair, letting them know what you've picked! FAILURE TO PICK FOR YOUR PARTNER WILL BE NOTED, AND MULTIPLE FAILURES WILL HAVE CONSEQUENCES!

TIMELINE:
AUGUST 15-22, 2016: Participants will Post their shelves

*If you do not list a shelf, I will not pair you with anyone

***Cut off on AUGUST 22: 9:30am EST(8:30am CST)

AUGUST 22-28: Pairs will be posted & then Selection of a Series and posting it for your pair

*Again, as I said earlier, please try to select for your pair ASAP, and failure to pick for your pairing will be noted.

***Cut off on AUGUST 28 @ 9:30am EST(8:30am CST)

**AUGUST 28: Re-picks for those who didn’t get the pick

**MOD ASSIST: TCF Mods Ezi, Paris & Lanelle are also around for assistance.

Hi Susan A!
I pick Whitedell Pride...there a bunch there, but maybe you can put a dent in it to start the Fall! Enjoy! =)

~Michelle~ I pick the Outlander series for you. I need a push to get myself back in this series, actually.

Margaret, for you I pick Millennium. I liked the first three books quite a lot.

If I could make a suggestion? Why not do a buddy read together of the Outlander series, since you mentioned needing a push to get back into the series? I have found that doing a buddy read on a series is a good way to motivate me to read it! I just felt it was worth mentioning as an option, feel free to ignore it if you want!

Its not a bad idea, but I'm several books further along in the series.
