Worlds Without End Roll-Your-Own Reading Challenge

The Book of Ones

The Book of Ones

Quite simply: start 12 series.

Read 12 books that begin a series, and review 6 of them. It doesn't necessarily have to be the book identified as the first in the WWE database, but should be a recognised starting point not just a random book. In addition, it should be a real series, where the books relate to one another, rather than a loose collection of stories or a thematic series (so Ursula Le Guin's Earthsea, fine; Hainish Cycle, not so fine).

This ought to fit in quite well with other challenges.
