2-3-4 Challenge discussion

Let's continue this challenge in 2018, this time with a goal of 300. While our individual goals may vary, everyone of us has a goal to complete at least one series in 2018.

Here's how it works. (You can’t join the challenge until January 1, 2018.)

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 you plan to complete in 2018 (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 "300 series" (without the quotes) and then select "Add." This will be the shelf you'll use to track your progress (more to come). Note: This is the suggested shelf name. You can name yours whatever you want.
4. Return to the group home page and select "update my entry" and add the shelf name as follows: 300-series (or whatever you named your shelf).
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 completed (not up to date), add that book to your 300-series shelf. 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. For example, Robyn Carr answered my question about Thunder Point, letting me know the series was over when no formal announcement was made.

We hope everyone will join!

The one challenges I never quit manage to complete. But I'll still be joining

Same for me, Michelle:(

I completed 16 last year so I think I can do 15 for 2018.

Eadie, I believe this belongs in another topic. Maybe the 2017 Challenge Goals?

I completed only 11 series in 2017 so I'm going to aim for 10 and hope for better.

I have TONS of series I've started. I'll start with a 5 series goal but might change it to 10 if it looks like I can do it.

I didn't make my goal last year, so I am going to try again. I think I will try for 5 series

Hello All:

My name is Trina and I'm new to the group.

Can I still join the challenge?

Absolutely! You may go back and include all your books read in 2018.

Hello! Do trilogies and bilogies count?

Trilogies are series. Don’t know what a “bilogy” is...

Aah! I’m used to the term “duets,” which also count.

We are 9 away from meeting our goal of 300! Can we do it?

Only 9? Come one everyone. Make sure you entered everything!

The book I'm currently reading will add +1 ;)

Yes!👍🏼

I just finished Kingdom of Ash, so that adds 1!

Excellent!

We're now 4 away....

I finished the "Bad Luck Brides" series tonight. Knock off another one.

It looks like we surpassed 300!

Yay! We did it!
