Yearly Reading Challenge ~ Series Challenge

Another fun Challenge I have been working on (actually I have completed once and am working on again) is the Sexy Series Challenge from the Goodreads Group Erotic Enchantments (yep, another 18+ group with 18+ selections).  This one is really fun and results in over 40 books read.  It took me just over a month to go through it once and I just started round 2 of it.

1.) SMUT STALKER (21 BOOKS)

Take 6 series of your choice and start at any point in the series:



6 books from 1st series (of your choice)
Warder by Mary Calms
     
5 from 2nd
Sanctuary by R.J. Scott
    
4 from 3rd
Adrien English Mysteries by Josh Lanyon
   
3 from 4th
Faith, Love, & Devotion by Tere Michaels
  
2 from 5th
Rules of Engagement by L.A. Witt
 
1 from the 6th and final series
Crossfire by Sylvia Day


2.) ONE NIGHT STAND (5 BOOKS) - Choose one book from 5 of the following categories - must be a series book but doesn't have to be the first book in the series.

a.) Ride 'em cowboy (Cowboy Romance) - Flanked (studs in Spurs #5) by Cat Johnson
b.) Bondage Baby (BDSM) - Nobody's Perfect (Masters at Arms #4) by Kallypso Masters

(note the categories I did not choose are: Bondage Baby (BDSM), Tsk Tsk Taboo (Taboo Erotica), Fang Bang (PNR where hero/heroine has fangs) Menage, M/M (though many of my selections qualify), F/F)
    

3.) LET'S MAKE IT A QUICKIE (5 NOVELLAS) - Pick out 5 novellas to read that are a part of a series. The word count for a novella is roughly between 17, 000 and 40, 000 words - or roughly 100 pages or less.

Convincing Quinn (Rock Hard, #1) by Chloe Cole
More Than Enough (More #2) by Shawn Lane
Try Me (Take a Chance #1) by Diane Alberts
The Sweetest Tattoo (Cabin Fever #1) by Cameron Dane
Finding Home by Cameron Dane

    

4.) SEXY STRANGER (3+ BOOKS) - Try out a new series to read from beginning to end - series must be at least 3 books long. If you pick a series that sucks, then pick another series until you find one you like and can complete!
St. Nacho's by Z.A. Maxfield

   

5.) YOUR FIRST TIME (3 BOOKS) - Try out 3 authors who are new to you - yes, these have to be in a series too!
Bear, Otter, and the Kid by TJ Klune

6.) SCHOOL GIRL CRUSH (1 BOOK) - Start a series that everyone has been raving about that you keep moving to the back burner.

Between the Lines by  Tammara Webber



7.) MAKE A COMMITMENT (1+ BOOKS) - Finish a series you have started - it can be as few as 1 book , it doesn't matter as long as you finish it!

Crossing Borders by Z.A. Maxfield



8.) PUSH YOUR LIMITS (1+ Book) - Read a book that you wouldn't normally read - take yourself out of your comfort zone, who knows, you might like it! This can be something taboo like incest or watersports or a genre you aren't particularly fond of - like if you don't usually like m/m - try one that people with similar reading interests have been raving about.

Dark Lover (Black Dagger Brotherhood #1) by J.R. Ward
