Serious Fun with Series

 This year in addition to the Finishing the Series challenge hosted at Celebrity Readers, I have found several others centered around reading and completing series. All 3 are intended to encourage readers to finish the series they have previously started.   One is a point tabulator and you are dinged with a negative point if you start a new series- don't worry if you read more than one in the series you will gain the point back.




 #FinishingTheSeries2024

This is a challenge that is intended to help you finish up reading series you have already begun.  It is hosted at Celebrity Readers.  You can finish a completed series or just get caught up on an ongoing series.

There are 3 levels of completion.   You just need to post reviews to a linkup on a quarterly basis.

Signup here to join me on this challenge  I am going to try to up my numbers this year and am thus going for A List again this year.
