This challenge was previously hosted by J. Kaye's Book Blog, and last year by Royal Reviews. When it was offered up for a new host blog, I happily volunteered. The 1st in a Series Challenge has a special place in my heart because it was one of the first reading challenges I joined when I started blogging in 2009. If you like reading series as much as I do, I hope you'll join in!
1. Anyone can join. You don't need a blog to participate. If you're not a blogger, leave your information in the comments.
2. There are four levels for this challenge:
- Series Novice: Read 3 books that are the first in any series.
- Series Lover: Read 6 books that are the first in any series.
- Series Expert: Read 12 books that are the first in any series.
- Series Fanatic: Read 20 books that are the first in any series.
3. The challenge runs from January 1 through December 31, 2011.
4. You can join anytime between now and December 31, 2011.
5. If you're a blogger, write up a sign-up post that includes the URL to this post so that others can join in. Feel free to use the button above. When you sign up in the Linky, put the direct link to your 1st in a Series Challenge sign-up post.
6. Click here to link-up your reviews!
I'll be joining..Have to go add this to my 2011 challenges list & get my post done! I'll come back and add it to the linky list though!
ReplyDeleteGreat challenge :)
This is a great challenge! I will definitely try to participate. I just need to check first which new series are coming out in 2011, hehe.
ReplyDeleteI have loved doing this challenge this past year, and am looking forward to be able to do it at a higher level this upcoming year since I will have a whole year instead of half a year. Already posted the challenge on my blog feel free to check it out!!
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to this challenge! Thank you for hosting it, Katy.

ReplyDeleteMy book blog is new and I'm excited about this challenge! I'm doing mostly cozy mysteries and they are just about all series.
ReplyDeleteI'm in!

Wow, do I ever need this challenge! I have so many series I've discovered this year that are demanding my attention. Although I think I can do Expert, Series Lovel seems like a good goal - I'd rather surpass my expectations than be dissapointed in my reading.
ReplyDeleteI love this challenge, so thanks for hosting :) Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteThis is a great challenge. I have some that I have been meaning to read but haven't had the time (or money) but I'm not sure how well I'll do on this one...
ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting it.
Thanks for hosting this challenge. It ties in well with my other challenges.
ReplyDeleteI'll be posting on my blog http://nehasbookshelf.blogspot.com/ about it soon.
Aiming for Series Lover level.
This sounds like a great challenge. I'm in! Thanks for hosting it! :)
ReplyDeleteI've never done a book challenge before but I want to read more this year - so I'm joining a few. Since I love Series - this one should be fun! I'm starting out easy - my goal is Series Lover. 6 books - shouldn't be too hard!
ReplyDeleteI'm in. I said I wasn't going to sign up for any more challenges this year, but I can't resist your first and seconds challenges. Start me with Series Lover level. I don't have a blog, so, I'll post links to my reviews on Goodreads./bj

ReplyDeleteSounds great Betty! Welcome to the challenge!
ReplyDeleteNeha you are a busy reader! WTG on finishing up already! I'll try to get a wrap-up-post linkup together this weekend.
