The Blonde Diaries

The first in a series challenge is aimed at helping you get started reading some of those series books that you have put off.  There are a few series that I have been reading about this past year in the blogosphere as well as books that I have seen on Amazon or at the Library that I have been wanting to read. So this seems like a great way to see if I will like the series enough to continue reading them – by reading the first book!  I am aiming for the Curious level but hoping to bump it up to the Fascinated level by next December.

I plan to start the Stephanie Plum series (Janet Evanovich), Sookie Stackhouse series (Charlaine Harris), and the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants series (Ann Brashares)

The official challenge guidelines:

1. Anyone can join. You don’t need a blog to participate.

–Non-Bloggers: Include your information in the comment section.

2. There are four levels:

– Curious– Read 3 novels that are first in a series.

– Fascinated – Read 6 novels that are first in a series.

– Addicted – Read 12 novels that are first in a series.

– Obsessed – Read 20 novels that are first in a series.

3. Any genre counts.

4. You can list your books in advance or just put them in a wrap up post. If you list them, feel free to change them as the mood takes you.

5. Challenge begins January 1st thru December, 2010.

February 2010 Update:

So far I have crossed off the first 9 books in the Stephanie Plum series and the first 2 books in the Sookie Stackhouse series.  I am hoping to finish both soon and move on to the Sisterhood books.

December 2010 Update

Add to the list the first Sisterhood book and the entire Queen Betsy (the Undead series) to the list!
