After Christmas, I need to get all these challenges organized. I started but the last two weeks are crazy and hectic.

Here's how it works.
1. You can find the challenge here or on our group home page.
2. After selecting the challenge, complete the information requested, including the number of series where you plan to get up to date in 2022 (it says books here but for this challenge, think series). Where it asks for a shelf name, type in your profile name. Save the information.
3. Go to your shelf and edit "bookshelves." Type in "150 utd" (without the quotes) and then select "Add." This will be the shelf you'll use to track your progress (more to come). You can select another name for your shelf if you prefer.
4. Return to the group home page and select "update my entry" and add the shelf name exactly as follows: 150-utd (or, whatever shelf name you created) but remember to use all lowercase.
5. Click "Save."
6. You've now entered the challenge!
Now, how do you track your series progress?
Whenever you read the last book in a series that you now consider up to date, add that book to your 150-utd shelf (or other shelf name you created). It will be included in the challenge results.
If the series appears to be complete (last book released some time ago, the story feels final, no word from the author about continuing the series, etc.), consider it complete. Otherwise, if there's some doubt, mark it up to date.
Last year, a few I'd tagged as up to date ended up being finished and vice versa. No need to change a previous year but if things change in the current year, you can always adjust.
I've also used the GR "Ask the Author" feature with some success.
(If an author of one of your series releases another book during the year and you don't read the new book by December 31, 2022, you'll need to remove the last book you read from the 150 utd shelf.)
We hope everyone will join again!
