For 1 and 2, if the book was published in 2019 but isn't the first in the series, then it counts?

ETA: or does it mean I started the series in 2019?

The second - you started it in 2019, no matter the year published, and continue for the challenge. So, it’d probably be a book #2+ since it was already started back in 2019. Does that help?

Yep -thanks for the clarification :-)

You're welcome :)

I didn't do well at all. I may have to arbitrarily decide to extend the deadline for myself (because I'm bad like that!).... or just start again. I hate not finishing :-(
