I'm on dial-up, hard to recheck pages. <br />I joined, #45, from the start but am linking reviews lately. http://cmriedel.wordpress.com/2013/01/08/outlets-for-series/<br /><br />May we link individual books as we go? How 'finished' must a series be? Is this about reading up what we've collected on it? <br /><br />Is the mission to obtain subsequent volumes, up to a reasonable time in 2013? (I do physical books only and own what I wish to read).

I've added about 20 since the start of the year. You can also readjust your goals during our quarterly check-ins -- meaning that if you thought you were only going to be able to complete 6 series during the original sign up and have already completed those 6, you can add more, etc. This is also a chance for you to decrease your goals if they seem too out of reach.<br /><br />A lot of people are adding more series than they're planning on reading to give themselves room to play. This is more about focusing on reading and completing series than anything else.<br /><br />Graphic novels and manga are acceptable. As I said, it's more about completing series than anything else. So... read!<br /><br />Thanks for joining us!Kelly Rubidouxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07860403261439777385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-974058109570919461.post-64989724611999113602013-02-03T05:15:56.988-08:002013-02-03T05:15:56.988-08:00Mmm, and I forgot to ask - how about graphic novel...Mmm, and I forgot to ask - how about graphic novels/manga series?

I still have some questions, though.<br />1)Do the books have to be personnally ours, or can we series that we borrowed (from a friend, or a lobrary, etc)<br />2) Can we add new series during the challenge? Or are we set up with the list we make at the sign up post.<br />I will be joining the fun in any case, but wether I will ad some series to the list depends on the answer.
