The Lost Challenges discussion

This challenge will be an ongoing monthly mini-challenge to keep us all motivated to start, (and then continue), some of the many series in our TBR.


Rules:

1) You must read one of each; a 1st, 2nd, and a 3rd book in a series.

2) Any genre of series is acceptable.

3) 'Half-step' short-stories (i.e., shorts in anthologies), do not count.
*For uniformity, the numbering on GR will be the judge of this.*

4) Rereads do count.

5) No more than 2 of the 3 books each month can be from the same series.

Here's my tentative list.

Let me know how is. It's on my TBR but I just can't commit to it yet.

Second in Series: The Citadel by Kyle Stone AND Shift by Jeri Smith-Ready AND Honeyed Words by J.A. Pitts

Updated my list. Not sure which ones I will read next month, but we will see how the month will go for me.

Love this challenge! :D Will add my books as I go along..

I can't let a few of these books go til next month because they are almost a week overdue at my library so I need to read them ASAP. It's a good thing I don't pay late fees since I work at the library.

Barbara, you are a machine...go you!


How did you like Lizz?

How did you like Lizz?"

I really liked it. The first I starting reading it I didn't get into it but I started it again for BINGO and I loved it. I'm glad I gave it another try.

I don't think I'm gonna get around to a #3 this month. Too many other books to read, and the #2's I've read recently have been either the most recent in the series, or the last I have on hand for the series.

Almost done with Chloe King #3, and I just thought about the books I can read for next month. Yay :)

Oh, bummer Cindy! Maybe next month will do the job for you. :)

Go Zakiya!

I was suprised at how much I enjoyed these stories. I can read a lot of gore and horror, but violence against children has always been my 'bad trigger'. I don't know why, but these books didn't hit me as hard. Or maybe I was just enjoying them that much. Either way, I thought they were great!

Glad you enjoy the first as well. :)

WOO-HOO!!!!! I think this is the first time I've finished this challenge! :DD
