SOS: Serious Overload of Series discussion

TimBeR Challenge
For the next year, focus your reading on those books already nestled and rooted deep into your TBR list.

                            

Art credit: 'Timber!' by Leslie Falconer (Author), Chris Lensch (Author, Illustrator)

DURATION: 1 year from start date

GOAL: All books used in the challenge must be on your TBR list as of your start date. The goal is to read as many books from your existing TBR as possible throughout the year. You can aim for one of the levels below or leave your # goal open.

Here are some prompts to help you on your hunt for good wood books:
(these are suggestions only, not requirements)

➊ Read only books in a specific genre (UF, PNR, SFR, etc)
➋ Read books added to your list between 2020-2021
➌ Read only Kindle Unlimited loaners or otherwise gotten for free (gift, library, etc)
➍ Read books without people on the cover or vise versa
➎ Read books with only a female on the cover or only a male
➏ Read books by female authors only or by male authors only
➐ Read books from oldest to newest add date
➑ Read books with a verb or noun in the title or series name
➒ Read books with a question in the title
➓ Read book titles in order - A through Z, then back again

Levels:
✬ Cold-deck: 20 of books (~5 books a quarter)
A pile of stored logs, often around the base of a spar-tree.
✮ Cord: 52 of books (~1 book a week)
A standard unit of measurement for stacked wood, usually consisting of a pile 4 feet high by 4 feet wide by 8 feet long, equaling 128 cubic feet.
★ Turn: 104 of books (~2 books a week)
A full truckload of logs.

This one will add nicely to the pile of challenges I've got going for next year (I'm not sure why I'm adding them all, but you post so many great challenges, so I'm blaming you, Steph 😉)

As I have a freaking containership full of books on my current TBR, I'll be going for the Turn level!
