Sufferin' Succotash, it's the Seriously Series Reading Challenge! (read the above with a lisp) Thank you to Amanda at On a Book Bender and Kelly at Reading the Paranormal for hosting this challenge! I participated in their Summer Series 2012 Challenge, and this this is an expanded version. I just finished writing my first and only romantic suspense trilogy -- The Con duct Series -- and I'm a huge fan of series, from Diana Gabaldon's Outlander Series to Paullina Simon's The Bronze Horseman Series to Stephanie Perkins YA Series. For this challenge, I'll focus on two categories: 1) Series started before 2013 2) Series started during 2013 My goal is 1-6 series in each (gotta leave time for two careers!), putting me in the Semi-Serious distinction.

Every year I read many fantastic books from a variety of genres that feature women and girls that embody this spirit and determination. Feminism is defined as: A movement for granting women political, social, and economic equality with men. True, but also fairly boring. I think Rebecca West summed it up pretty well we she said: "I myself have never been able to find out precisely what femini...
