My goal: Veteran (150 points) – COMPLETED
Last year my goal was 100 points and I completely blew that goal out of the water! So, this year I’m going to aim a little higher. There are a ton of trilogies I’ve started that I only have one book left to go that I would like to knock off my list! I have my series overview page and prequel-sequel-challenge shelf on Goodreads for a guide :)

I just checked out your series overview page and I LOVE it! What a great way to stay organized! I might have to do something similar. Can you tell me how you use the Goodreads shelf for a challenge? I’m guessing those are the books you plan to read, then afterwards do you move them off the shelf or do they stay?
Thanks! :D You totally should! And yep, I use it to list all of the books I want to read that qualify for the challenge so I can easily pick things out. Then as soon as I mark it as ‘read’ I take it off those shelves!
This sounds like a really fun challenge. I prefer reading standalone books, unless the series really sticks out to me. It may be because I enjoy contemporaries more than any other genre, and they’re usually standalone. I don’t want to start off the year with any challenges to work towards, yet, or I would join! Good luck! :)
Thank you! I prefer standalones, too. That’s why I wanted to participate in a series challenge, because I seriously suck at it >.< I tend to read the first book and never go any farther. Something like 90% of the series I've finished are only trilogies! It's sad, really...
You are a real series junkie. It seems that I read way more standalone novels. I did much better thanks to this challenge.
I’m all signed up :) and I even have a plan for keeping better track of my points this year! Thanks for hosting!
