The idea behind this challenge is to read twelve books in the year ’08, all of which must be the first in a series. Quite obvious, really, when you think about it. A good challenge, too, as I have all these series lined up that I have planned to try at some point, but never got around to.
It is hosted by Joy at Thoughts of Joy.
