But maybe it'll open up new series for me. I hope...
And you're right Steph, this was extraordinarily evil of Judithe!
ETA: Also the 'ABC series' thread will come in handy for choosing books for this challenge :)

Welcome, Josie!
And let's ponder ways to lure in more....maybe series that have an X, Y, Z (or q) in the name (of the series, author or main character...) for those rather difficult letters....

Judithe, I was going to use the Queen Betsy series for Q, if that'll help anyone. And, I could make characters work for those other difficult letters (already doing that for the shifter A-Z).

I think I can, I think I can!

You have an entire year to find a book for every letter! Heck, I'll write a novel and title it beginning with your lonesome letter!

Fictfact.com was awesome for this. Just sort by series name and write down the next book you need/want to read.

That is exactly right! It's a good way to catch up on some series with just one book, try some new things, and any number in the series is just fine!

LOL!

FictFact is my fave place for keeping tracks of series, and helped me find the 2 or 3 I didn't actually have a series for...LOL!

LOL! So pleased you're joining us!

What a silly question, ladies! OF COURSE you can! Check out the date this challenge was uploaded, and the date of my first entry on my list....
note...add revision that you can join at any time and include any book you've read in 2011--as long as you include the date read....


I'd say go with the GR listing, or whatever the author... who is, of course, the ultimate authority! ...allows on her/his blog.
Another example would be Sookie Stackhouse/Southern Vampire (well...those are both "S" so it wouldn't make much difference in the list, but hey....)

You did read the memo at the top...and I remember swearing right along with you...lol! They ARE irresistable!
Books mentioned in this topic

Then, inspired by Steph's ABC Series game right here on SOS, I realized what my self-challenge for 2011 would be. Yep, another A-Z challenge of SERIES! Please feel free to join me reading through the alphabet and enjoying many series!
How To:
Read one book of a series beginning with each letter of the alphabet using the first letter of the series name (can ignore a, an, the). The series do not have to be PNR/UF, but should have some element of paranormal in them.
*Re-reads and any format are allowed.
*Anthologies are not allowed.
*Duration: January 1 to December 31, 2011
**Please update original post--please include date read!**
Addendum
*For those really difficult letters (Q, Y and Z) the following alternatives are acceptable:
**main character' first or last name starts with Q, Y or Z
**author's first or last name starts with Q, Y or Z
*For the letter "X" the following alternatives are acceptable:
**main character, author or series name has the letter "x" in it (for example: Adrian Phoenix: The Maker's Song, and so on)
*You can join at any time, and include any book series you've read in 2011 as long as you include the date the book was read (i.e. if you join in February you can include books read in January as long as you know the completion date)
