2-3-4 Challenge discussion

It's time to start nominating your choice of series that you'd like considered to be part of our group reads in 2017. We will be wrapping up two of our series group reads from 2016 so we need to replace them.

There are only a few rules:

1. You're limited to nominating a maximum of three series
2. Each nominated series must have at least three books (more than five are preferable)
3. The books in the series must be available for purchase.
4. Your nomination must include the series name and author (check on Goodreads for the proper series name).

Nominations will be open until October 5. At that time, we will set up a poll for everyone to vote for their choice. We will do two polls at the same time to allow everyone an opportunity to cast two votes. (You'll only be allowed one vote per series). The two series with the most votes will be selected as our group reads for 2017.

Let the nominations begin!

Here's the link to last year's nominations if that would be helpful, especially if you'd like to copy any that weren't selected.

Both on my shelf!

I've read some of the Fool's Gold series and enjoyed them. Would be great to continue with that series.

this series is really good- I read the first 2 so far and looking forward to getting the 3rd!

I really enjoy Kate Burkholder series and am actually caught up with it.

I've only read the first but I liked it so much that I want to keep going with it.

Meera - it's one of those series that gets better with each book as the characters develop.
