Serial Readers Unite! discussion

We are back with this challenge! Being a new year and with the hiatus if you wish to be on an auto-sign-up each month let me know. If you are using a shelf other than your "In Progress" thread please link it when you sign up. Only use a shelf/list with series books on it! Don't make members sort through your stand alones please.

To know how this works please read more here: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

If you are interested in participating please sign up here. If using something besides your thread under "So many To Read" be sure to link up whatever shelf, list, etc you want them to pick from.
Sign ups close on the 24th.
Buddy's should be posted by the 26th or 27th.
Be sure to look at your buddy's thread, list, sheet, etc. and post your picks for them before January 1st.


*If, for any reason, your picks don't work out for you one month it is okay. Hopefully you'll try the next. Life happens. Many of us are mood readers, or have other challenge prompts, etc. This is very low key!

For each pick made for you that you read for you will receive 5 points toward the annual scores. So you can earn up to 10 points!

Sweet! Hopefully at least a couple more join. December is so crazy.

It's a busy month...maybe send another broadcast message on just series picking?

Yeah I will do that on Friday I think. Maybe extend the signups & partnering if that is okay.

I need to get back into some other challenges myself as the holidays wind down.

I would like to participate if it’s not too late.

Here’s the list to choose from: https://www.goodreads.com/review/list...

I sent you a friend request so you can view my account.
Please tell me if it doesn’t work.
Thanks!

I'll give it a shot! January is a no-no for travel around here, so I hope to have more time.

Got you added. :) Whoever picks for you will need to see your list though too. So if your account is private, be sure to send them a friend request at that time please.
Also, Sans is the co-mod here so be sure to friend her for tracking as well please. :)

Ohhhh I’m in!

By the way, you will have to friend the person picking from your shelf or temporarily make your account public when the time comes.

I know.

The Virtual Hat has spoken and random people have been matched!
Find your name and follow the arrow to see who you need to pick for. All links to their shelfs/threads are in the 2nd post here. Remember to pick 2 different series for each person. They can read any book in that series they want. :)

Please pick BEFORE January 1st!!!

Also don't forget to let me know if you want to be automatically added to this for future months. :)

Automatically add me please!

I would like to be automatically added if we are allowed to back out in later months.

Jenny, for you I pick the Jane Hawk Series The Silent Corner since Dean Koontz is a great writer. And Unwind series UnWholly since I am currently reading Neal Shusterman myself and enjoying his books. :)

I love Neal Shusterman! The Arc of a Scythe books are awesome.

Jamie, for you I picked the Maze Runner novellas and The Fever Code because it was so good!
and the Kendra Chronicles Beastly: Lindy's Diary because I love Beastly and didn't know there were more books in that series!

Thanks Aly :)

Thanks Jamie!

Sans I am going with A Curse So Dark and Lonely and DC Comics: Bombshells, Vol. 1: Enlisted series. I've read the first book/volume in both those series and found them really fun and well written. Enjoy!

Aly, for you I pick The Fragments series and The Ghost Bird series. I’m sorry I can’t seem to link them through the GR app, but they both look really intriguing (and I haven’t read either).

Woohoo, thanks Jenny! I'm excited to read these!

Lily, I've chosen Arrows of the Queen and Alanna: The First Adventure. Happy reading!

Okay, I was actually hoping for both of these so this is great!

Beth, for the Fragments series, book 2 isn't coming out until April unfortunately. But I'm excited to get back into the Ghost Bird series!

Just wondering, are you required to read the whole series or just a couple books?

Just 1 book from each series. You are welcome to continue and read more but this is just for one of each. :)

Wolf (Alpha), I’m choosing Fall of Giants and Wizard's First Rule for you. I will probably read Sword of Truth myself. Hope you enjoy!

Whoops! Ok, then, rather than the next book in The Fragments, how about the Unwind series? I hear great things. :)

Ooh okay! I've read the first book but it's been a while so I think I'll reread it :)

Beth, for you I pick The Living and The Book of Life

Looks like everyone has picks! Great job everyone! Don't forget to come back here to share what you read. And maybe a brief comment of what your thoughts on your book. :)

Thanks so much! I'm gonna put a hold on those at the library ASAP.

I have read ! Thank you again for the pick Jenny, it was a lot of fun!

I read Alanna: The First Adventure and loved it! Fabulous characters and plot. Great pick, Sans!

Great job both of you! 5 pts each Sans and Lily!

Sans wrote: "I have read ! Thank you again for the pick Jenny, it was a lot of fun!"

Great! I loved that one too!

Lily wrote: "I read Alanna: The First Adventure and loved it! Fabulous characters and plot. Great pick, Sans!"

I'm so glad you liked it!

I'm going to try to start later this week. I'm currently switching between and because my attention span is nonexistent. Here's hoping that changes soon, it's frustrating to get so easily distracted.

So I had to actually re-read Beastly before I read the diaries. So that is what I did this month. I will read the diary either this month or next but I did re-draw myself into the series. :)

Woohooo! The Living finally came into the library. Now to see if I can finish it in the remaining days of January. :D

You can do it!
