For my third year of this challenge, I managed to repeat last year’s Mt. Ararat, but it required some heavy-duty climbing at the end, because once again, I was distracted during the year by new books and library books, and didn’t work on the stuff on my shelves as diligently as I should. But I made it!
I did the Monthly Key Words in 2013, but the host offered this new challenge and I like it! A really fun challenge to come up with something for each month and I completed it early in December!

I decided to join this challenge to jumpstart my perpetual challenge of reading all the winners. My goal was the L’Engle level: 15-29 points, and although I thought I would just make the lower threshold, I actually hit the top of the first level.
Each book you read is worth points. You get:
3 points for a Newbery Medal Winner
2 points for a Newbery Honor Book
1 point for a Caldecott Medal Winner
1) All books that are part of a continuing series qualify.
2) It doesn’t matter if you have 1 or 10 books in a series to complete it, it qualifies. The goal is to complete a series from wherever you are up to until the last published book.
Choose a level….
Level 1 – Complete 1 series.
Level 2 – Complete 2 series.
Level 3 – Complete 3 or more series.
My goal for this challenge was Level 2 and I actually completed four series this year so I’m calling this one because I have outdone myself. I completed the following four series:
I had an invite from RIEDEL Fascination to join one of her new reading challenges and I’m always game for a new one. These go February 1st, 2014 – February 28th, 2015 so we’re not spending the holidays finishing books and posting wrap-up posts. Great idea! Also she’s not big on lots of picky rules so they are fairly straightforward.
