May/June Prequel ad Sequel Challenge Wrap Up

It just seems like it is easier for me to do these posts every other month as the in between months just seem to be too busy at the end.  So let's see how I did on my challenge the past two months.


May:

1. Beautiful Darkness (Caster Chronicles #2) 2 points
2. The One (Selection #3) 12 points (final book in series) Book 1, Book 2
3. The Liberator (Dante Walker #2) 2 points
4. The Warrior (Dante Walker #3) 12 points (final book in series) Book 1
5. Savage Drift (Monument 14 #3) 12 points (final book in series) Book 1, Book 2
6. Divided (Dualed #2) 2 points

June:

1. City of Lost Souls (Mortal Instruments #5) 2 points
2. Erased (Altered #2) 2 points

Wow, just like the last update I did, the 2nd month of my challenge update was not that good!  And I was doing some recovery from my surgery in June.  Weird.  Guess I'd better get back on track this coming month!  So last time I was at  59 points.  Add the 46 points, and that puts me at 100 points overall.  And now I'm up to the Professional level in the challenge.  One more point and I'll be at the top level.  Okay, let's hope I get more of what I planned to read done over the next two months.

2014 Prequel and Sequel Challenge

So, I think I'm going to try this Challenge this year, as a lot of the books on my TBR pile, or maybe just my TBR list are sequels to series that I started because the first book was an e-galley, but then I just never got the 2nd book as an e-galley, or bought it, or whatever.  This challenge is co-hosted by Novel Heartbeat (formerly Auntie Spinelli Reads) and Writer Grrl Reads.  

The goal: To read as many prequels and sequels as you can. You set your goal at whatever number works for you.

So, let's see, here are my hopes for this challenge:

1. Rogue (Croak #3) by Gina Damico
2. Requiem (Delirium #3) by Lauren Oliver
3. Prodigy (Legend #2) and Champion (Legend #3) by Marie Lu
4. Sookie Stackhouse series by Charlaine Harris:  Deadlocked, Dead Ever After, and After Dead
5. Walking Disaster (Beautiful #2) and A Beautiful Wedding (Beautiful #2.5) by Jamie McGuire
6. Shatter Me series by Tehereh Mafi:  Unravel Me, Fracture Me, and Ignite Me
7. Boundless (Unearthly #3) by Cynthia Hand
8. Sever (The Chemical Garden #3) by Lauren DeStefano
9. As They Slip Away (Across the Universe #0.5) and Shades of Earth (Across the Universe #3)  by Beth Revis
10. I'm hoping to finish The Mortal Instruments series by Cassandra Clare.  I've got #5 on the shelf, #6 is supposed to come out this year.
11. Daughter of Smoke and Bone series by Laini Taylor:  Days of Blood and Starlight, Night of Cake and Puppets,  and Dreams of Gods and Monsters
12. The whole Revenants series by Amy Plum
13. Light (Gone #6)  by Michael Grant
14. The Selection series by Kiera Cass:  The Guard (2.5) and The One (#3)
15. The Forever Song (Blood of Eden #3) by Julie Kagawa

Those are my hopes for this, and maybe there will be even more!  Mike Mullin is supposed to finish his Ashfall series this year I think.  So I may add on to this.  I just hope I can keep up and make sure to mention in the reviews when they match up to this challenge.
