J. Kaye from J.Kaye's Book Blog is taking over several challenges that were hosted by Joy in 2008. I for one am very thankful that this is the case - Joy hosted so many cool ones and it would be very sad to lose them! So thanks to Joy for hosting them till now and thanks to J.Kaye for hosting them in 2009!
One of these is the 1st in a series challenge. I was too late to sign up for this in 2008 so I'm doubly happy to be able to do it in 2009. The idea is to read 12 books between 1 January and 31 December 2009. I'm not sure that starting 12 new series is the best idea for a book addict like me, but it sounds like so much fun and I haven't read many series until now, so it's really branching out so it's good for me... :-)
I'm not doing final lists in 2009, only long lists of possibilities that I may or may not add to as the year progresses. :-) I'd like to read more mystery/crime series and need recommendations - any out there?

You have your list! Good for you. I wish I was as organized. :)
I REALLY love lists. :-)
I'm only skipping this challenge because once I read the first one, I want to keep going! I think reading the first of 12 different series would make my head explode. :-)

Well, some of the series are short series... and they're all books that have been on my list forever anyway!
I've been doing this challenge and it's so much fun. Although a warning, I've now found a bunch of new series I like and will probably be hooked on :)
Have fun!
Hi Iliana - i'm cool with that, I don't read series normally and I think I'm missing out! We'll just have to do a second in a series challenge afterwards. ;-)
