An Odd Series Challenge
Um, does that mean that every one of the books in the challenge have to be from the same series?? and does that mean that you read 3 of them, then another 2, etc? Otherwise we're up a creek for series. Altho I COULD re-read all the Witch World 1 books, since there's somewhere around 30 of them. :o)
Mod
whew. :o) I was a little paniced when I saw that. And have had a sinus headache for most of the last 2 days, so my brain is a little bit gummed up right now.
New to the group. This sounds like a great challenge. I think I am ready to take it on! I have some good series in mind already.

I keep trying to finish some of the series' that I've started and never finished. This should help me keep on track to finish them! Your list looks great too! I love the Kresley Cole series and the Sherrilyn Kenyon series too!
Sigh, I'm up to date on all MY series. Except for 1 that I just found, but I can't seem to locate the books for the series. As soon as I do, I'll see which category they fit into.
Mod
I'm in, but my list will depend on what I can find a good deal on on ebay. My local library isn't well stocked. So sad.
Hmm... the nine book challenge is tricky, as I can't immediately think of too many series to fit that. I haven only read the first one or two in the Sookie Stackhouse and Harry Dresden series, and have yet to fall in love with them like everyone else, but who knows, they may grow on me enough to read them all...3 Books

Megan--will your library do inter-library loans? Many will, except maybe some of the smallest. If so, you can get more in that way.And check your local thrift shops, yard sales etc. You never know what you'll find at them.
I once found an entire run of Edgar Rice Burroughs John Carter of Mars series (25cent covers) at a yard sale and paid only $1 for the entire series
Yeah, but you have to pay a fee, and it takes a while. If I'm patient enough, I can usually find them on ebay, or the occasionally lucky garage sale for cheaper than going through the library, plus I get to keep them. I'm working on getting my old college roommate addicted to Paranormal Romance so we can swap books again, lol.

Hi! New here but this challenge sounds really fun. I tried another challenge where I read the first book in several series and I hated it. I just have to read the series in order and finish that series before starting another (sorry, OCD thing going on here!). Anyway, I will post my list shortly. I'm so excited!!
Hi all! I'm new here too. This sounds like fun! Not sure what I'll read, but I have a small mountain of TBR books so I'm sure I'll come up with something. As I'm indecisive, and change my mind a lot, I'll probably post as I read each series.
Mod
All right guys. I cannot for the life of me figure out how to cross out my books in a post. Can somebody help me out?
Jennifer, to strike through words, put <.s.> at the beginning and <./s.> at the end, just take out the periods first.You can also click "(some html is ok)" in the upper right hand corner of the comment box to see other html codes.

I swapped out my 11 book series. After reading about half of the first Argeneau Vampire book, I'm less than excited, but I loved the first Jim Butcher Harry Dresden book.
