2020 Finishing the Series Reading Challenge

Posted November 15, 2019 by lenoreo in 2020 Finishing the Series Challenge / 47 Comments

We’re back for another year!!  This challenge is focused on finally finishing those series that you’ve started but not yet completed.  It was previously hosted by Bea’s Book Nook, but we’ve been hosting it since 2018.

January to March Link-Up
April to June Link-Up
July to September Link-Up
October to December Link-Up

Guidelines:

While we’re pretty lax about how you wish to set up this challenge for yourself, we do have a few guidelines to follow.

  • The challenge will run from January 1st, 2020 to December 31st, 2020.  Books must be read during this time frame to count.  Sign up is open from now until December 1st, 2020, so you may join even just for the last month of the year.
  • Series can be already completed as well as still ongoing.  For ongoing series, the goal is to catch up to the most recent book published by the end of 2020.
  • We don’t care if you have only 1 book or 10 books to read in order to finish your series, as long as you’ve started the series before 2020 (ie read at least one book in the series), it counts.  Re-reads are not required.
  • Any format and length of book counts – print, ebook, audio, ARC, etc.
  • Series can be any length (even if it’s just a Duet).
  • Crossovers from other challenges are totally acceptable!
  • Reviews are not required, but highly encouraged.

How to Play:

  • Declare your intentions to participate in this challenge somewhere on the internet!!  You do not need to be a blogger to participate, there are many ways to declare.  You could write a blog post, create a reading challenge page, create a Goodreads shelf containing series you hope to finish, post about it on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc.
  • Some things you could include (but that aren’t required):
    • A link to this page so that others may find us and join the fun as well (feel free to download the button at the top to use in your posts).
    • A list of series you hope to read for this challenge.  You could even get fancy and list the length of the series, or the books you’ve already read, etc.
    • The level you are aiming for.
  • Sign up for the challenge using the link up below, and link directly to where you’ve declared your intentions (ie to the specific blog post, the goodreads shelf, the facebook post, etc).
  • We will be posting quarterly link ups for you to add links to your reviews or any wrap-up/overview posts you wish to share.
  • Go forth and READ!!  And have fun!!
  • Use the hashtag #FinishingTheSeries2020 on any social media to keep up with other participants!

The Reward:

Uh…your own sense of pride in achieving a goal?  Sorry folks, we’re not actually that motivated by prizes ourselves, so we’re just offering bragging rights.  But we can offer you some pretty graphics to either declare your goal or to use as a badge once achieved!

The Levels:

We offer you 3 different “Celebrity” levels of achievement for this reading challenge:

C-List Series Finisher ⇒ Complete 1-4 series.

B-List Series Finisher ⇒ Complete 5-8 series.

A-List Series Finisher ⇒ Complete 9+ series.

    Hi, I love this challenge! But I have a question. Since I don’t live in an English speaking country, my reading is mostly in my language. So lots of “last books” of the series that I’m reading, aren’t translated yet. To participate do I have to read them in English (if they aren’t translated) or is it enough that I finish the series in my own language? Just asking so I know what to do and which series to pick 😀
    Thanks 😀

      So sorry for the late reply!! I’m behind on everything! We’re really pretty flexible, so I totally think up to the latest translated book is perfect, no need to worry about any others that are in English, because that’s not how you’re reading the series. 🙂 So glad you’ll be joining us!! GOOD LUCK!

    […] The 2020 Finishing the Series Reading Challenge is hosted by Celebrity Readers. This will be my third year participating and my favorite challenge 😀 Why is it my favorite? Because it gives me an excuse to binge read. I LOVE binge reading series. Before I became a blogger this is exactly how I would read. I’d pick up a series and read it until I was either caught up or finished with the series. 2 books, 12 books, it didn’t matter the length. I just like binging series. Since I started blogging however, I’ve found that binging doesn’t happen much. As a result, I have a ton of series I’ve started but not finished. Thanks to this challenge I’ve completed 18 series over the last two years. If you are interested in joining me, it starts January 1, 2020, and ends December 31, 2020. You can sign up here. […]
