Smash alerted me to an informal reading challenge this summer: the All Series, All Summer Challenge hosted by Amanda from On a Book Bender blog and Kelly from Reading the Paranormal blog.
The goal of the challenge is to make progress on or finish some series that you’ve started. It’s an informal challenge…Kelly states “You’re welcome to join us. There is no sign up, no pressure, no check-ins, no anything except a driving need to have a reason to push these books to the top of our respective TBR piles.”
Here are some series I plan to work on this summer (thereby making progress on the Romantic Suspense and YA Reading Challenges as well):
Black Ops by Cindy Gerard (Romantic Suspense):3. Whisper No Lies4. Feel the Heat5. Risk No Secrets6. With No Remorse
7. Last Man Standing (I have signed copies of the last two from RT!)

Wow! That is a lot of reading. Me, I have so little free time lately, it's all I can do to read the small print on the side of the cereal box! Great luck with your plan. Roland

Roland, between two careers and two book clubs I'll be lucky if I read half of these books, but one can always dream!

Michelle, me too. Less pressure is always good. 😉 I think you'd like Divergent–a very interesting concept for a Dystopian.

Hi Stacey and Cindi, thanks for the encouragement! My progress will probably be plodding between writing and being part of two book clubs, but it's a fun challenge nonetheless.
