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.

Great! I love this challenge. I don't know why. Maybe b/c it is short & sweet and I can whittle away at my series.

I'm in, of course.

I've been reading Tiger's Voyage all week because it's a big book of 543 pages and I'm almost done with it. I still need to read my book 2 plus I might read more once I complete all three of these.

I been reading Entwined all week too Amy

I should write a review on that book since I thought it was an amazing book and post it on my blog.

I had to add Entwined to my tbr list too that does look good.

I don't know why, Zakiya, but this is one of my favorite challenges. I think because I like numbers and counting things. LOL! Or just some weird psych thing going on in my brain.

LOL! Looks like we were posting at the same time. You go, Zakiya! Loved Soulless.
