The Bookworm Challenge discussion

For the month of May we will count any book that is part of a series of 3 or more books. The books can be from all different series or from the same series.

This would include mystery series with the same detective (Richard Jury, Inspector Gamache, Miss Marple, etc)?

Yes! I was waiting for May to read the next Inspector Gamache.

I am thrilled with this one, but these great monthly specials are really getting in the way of the main challenges. 😁

I totally agree!

I know the feeling but I'm glad you enjoy the monthly challenges!

Would Grey be considered part of the Fifty Shades series or is it its own series because it's "Fifty Shades of Grey as Told by Christian"?

It is listed as a separate series. As far as I can see there are only 2 books in this new series so it wouldn't meet the 3 books or more criteria.

That's what I thought but I figured I would check :-) Thank you!

How about novellas that are part of a series? They’re usually numbered something like 3.5 in the series. I’m talking about ones that are part of a series with at least 3 full size novels, if that makes sense.

I know of a couple series like that. They would count because they are part of the series.
