Since I am reading challenge record-keepingly challenged, I am starting at the Newbie level and aim to collect between 10-25 points, always with an eye toward climbing a level during the year.  I'll be tracking my progress on this post and on my 2016 Reading Challenges page.

2015 Prequel Sequel Reading Challenge

The Prequel & Sequel Reading Challenge is hosted by Jessi at Novel Heartbeat and Melissa at Writer Grrl Reads.

If you are like me, you have read a lot of books that are part of a series.  Maybe you would like to read more, but there is only so much room on your nightstand, kitchen counter, mantel, changing table (ok it's been a while for me on that particular score) and only so many Gigs on your ereader.

I will be participating in this challenge in 2015 in order to get the whole story on some of the series parts which I was privileged to read and review this past year.  And there are some really long series of books out there, so y'all could really score B.I.G.!

They work on a point system, so you really need to click that button up there, go to the site and check out the details!  I'll have a number of challenges on my plate in 2015, so I'm signing up for the lowest level:  Newbie - 10 to 25 points.

I don't know for sure which books I will read for this challenge, but you can pretty much bet that the works of Avery Aames &/or Joyce & Jim Lavene will figure in it somewhere.

COME JOIN THE FUN!
