SA Book & Challenge Lovers discussion

We are having another Series Madness Challenge.

We are reading from 1 January 2018 until 31 December 2018.

All books read during this period will count towards the challenge.

There are no tasks to complete but points will be gathered. You gather points by reading books that are a part of a series. For every book that is first in a series you will get one point, for every book that is second you will get two points etc. If a series like Discworld has 40 books you can get 40 points for the last book in the series.

The catch is that you have to read the books in order. If you first read book 3 and then book 6 and then book 1 you will not get full points. For every book read out of order you will get one point.

You don't have to read all the books during the challenge. So if you have already read books 1-5 in a series last year or before and read book 6 in 2015 you will get 6 points as long as you have read them.

Series filler books also count (e.g. Book 1.5 in a series) as long as they are 150 pages or more. Each series filler book gets points that are the same as its position in the series (e.g. Book 3.5 counts for 3.5 points) However, they need to be read in order of the series. Any filler books that are read out of sequence count for only 1 point. Please note: Reading filler books is optional, they will not affect the main sequence of books in a series, so if you read book 4 but move on to book 5 instead of reading book 4.5, you will still get the 5 points.
