HAPPILY EVER AFTER discussion

Hi all,
I thought it might be fun to do a Reading Challenge together :-)

The challenge is called:

ONE TO TEN CHALLENGE

In this challenge you have to read:

Book 1 of Series 1
Book 2 of Series 2
Book 3 of Series 3
Book 4 of Series 4
Book 5 of Series 5
Book 6 of Series 6
Book 7 of Series 7
Book 8 of Series 8
Book 9 of Series 9
Book 10 of Series 10

1 to 10 is the minimum range needed to complete the challenge.

You can challenge yourself further by aiming for a higher range if you wish.

Here are all the levels:

Level 1: One to Ten
Level 2: One to Twenty
Level 3: One to Thirty
Level 4: One to Forty
Level 5: One to Fifty
And so on.

You can read in any order you like. For example: If you want then you can first read Book 7 of a certain series that you designated as Series 7 in the challenge. Then you can read Book 3 of another series that you selected as Series 3. Then you can read Book 9 of yet another series that you labelled Series 9. And so on.

You can't repeat a series in the challenge but you can read the same series in the next challenge. However, the books must be different.

The books can be of any genre.

The books you're reading for other challenges can be used here if they meet all the requirements.

You can start the challenge whenever you like but there will be a deadline. From the date you initiate the challenge, you will have exactly one year to complete it.

Once the year is up, you would have to change the status from "ongoing" to "complete" or "incomplete"—whatever the case might be—and end the challenge.

If you complete the challenge before the one-year deadline then you can change the status and end the challenge on that date only.

If you decide to give up on the challenge before the one-year deadline, you can switch the status from "ongoing" to "incomplete" and end the challenge on that date only.

Once you've ended the challenge, you can do it again in a new template with a new start date and a new challenge number.
