I was cruising the blogoshpere (you know, as one does) and I came across this challenge hosted by Octavia at
Read. Sleep. Repeat. Her thought is that we all have a giant list of series that we have started and never finished or keep talking about starting and never do. This challenge is to give you a kick in the pants to finish as many series as you can in the year 2014. There are of course rules, (taking directly from her site) they are as follows...
- You have to FINISH the series
- If
the series isn’t complete yet, or will not be completed before December
1st, 2014 read up to the most recent book in said series.
- Novellas count, but are optional.
- HAVE fun
- If you decide to break up with a series after book one, it does not count!
- You do not have to START the series in 2014, you just have to FINISH it in 2014
- Series that you started prior to 2014 are fine as long as you FINISH the series in 2014
- The series has to have at least 2 books out prior to December 1st, 2014
- Proof that you finished the book is required. It could be a full review, a mini review, or a rating with a few lines.
- DNF’s do not count. PERIOD.
And thanks to Anya of
On Starships and Dragonwings I’m
going to sweeten the pot for you folks. Even though finishing a series
is motivation enough for some of you, I know that 4 months in a lot of
you will quit, and because of that I am implementing a badge system. For more information
check out this link.
I will be keeping track of my progress in the tab above labeled "2014 Series Challenge" and will be posting the badges I win on my main site. I'm totally jazzed to win the platinum badge!
Here is a list of series that I have planned to include on my list for this year.

Anna Series |
That is 14 total series for the year. My plan is at lease one series a month some months will have two or even three. Some series will be easier than others to complete. For example I only have one book to read in the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series but four in the Gallagher girls series, I may add a few more series on the list as the year goes on and I see how I am doing. I have a few series on the back burner that I'm probably add. My goal is to get at least a dozen so I can be certified platinum! Stayed tuned on the "2014 Series Challenge" Tab above and if you want to get involved
GO HERE NOW!
This sounds like a good challenge for me! I was thinking about catching up with book series next year.
