1st in a Series Challenge 2011

I'm super excited about this challenge and have so many series I'd love to start in the coming year (I also have a few hundred I'd like to finish but that's an entire different story in itself!).  This blog is hosted by Katy @ A Few More Pages.

The rules for this challenge are simple:

1. Anyone can join. You don't need a blog to participate. If you're not a blogger, leave your information in the comments.

2. There are four levels for this challenge:

• Series Novice: Read 3 books that are the first in any series.
• Series Lover: Read 6 books that are the first in any series.  
• Series Expert: Read 12 books that are the first in any series.
• Series Fanatic: Read 20 books that are the first in any series.

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. Any genre counts.

3. The challenge runs from January 1 through December 31, 2011.

4. You can join anytime between now and December 31, 2011.

 I'm going to join at Level 2 and attempt to read the first book in SIX different series.  I like to plan ahead so I already have my list but it is definitely subject to changes:

1. Darkly Dreaming Dexter - Jeff Lindsay
2. Hearts at Stake - Alyxandra Harvey
3. Ruby Red - Krysten Gier
4. Forgive My Fins - Tera Lynn Childs
5. The Iron King - Julie Kagawa
6. Firespell - Chloe Neill

ALL BOOKS READ AND COMPLETED!!!
