I just have 1 questions when you say correlates to one of your regions winter months etc... do you mean by events that take place in the book or by publication date, or am I way off in my thinking?

@ Kat: Maybe she means when it's considered X month in your region? Technically Fall starts in September but where I live, it's Summer until October.

Welcome to the group, Jussi!

Kat, Lethal guessed right.

Series # correlates to one of your region's "SEASON months": We have members from all over the world, many in the Southern Hemi where the seasons are reversed from those in the Northern Hemi, I thought it'd be cool to allow people to go by their country's seasons.

So, those in the US will have summer months 5 (May) - 8 (Aug) or so and those in Australia will have 10 (Oct) - 1 (Jan) or whatever. See? If that doesn't make sense lemme know. :)

@Steph I get that part but what I'm trying to figure out is if the correlation has to do with when the book was published or when the events take place within the book during said months, does that make sence :)

Sorry, Kat. Actually, I meant the # of the book in the series correlates to the season month #. So, first-in-series would be read in Jan and so on. Does that help?

(For some people Jan is winter and others it's another season)

Ahhh...Yes I understand now, my brain just wouldn't let me clue in, thanks so much for the help :0)

No worries, hun. Happy to help. Sorry it was confusing for ya. My rambles always makes perfect sense to me. LOL! ;)

Looks Like fun!

Try Aus Summer - December to February. ROFLMAO

do we need to decide all the books ahead of time?

I don't think so according to the rules.

"Rules: .....Members are welcome to post their lists all at once, in pieces-parts, or as they read. Changes are allowed. All formats and (full) re-reads are allowed. Please try to stick within the fantasy (PNR/UF/SCI-FI) genres."

Only thing is that books has to be in the above listed genres.

oops i should have noticed! Thank you!

I'm going for an easy one this time.
