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.
