Completed Challenge: 1st in a Series 2009

 The 1st in a Series 2009 Challenge is hosted by J. Kaye's Book Blog.  The challenge was to read 12 books that were the first book in a series.  I am extremely happy to say that I have finally finished this challenge!!  This was much harder for me than I had expected.  Not because I couldn't find 12 new series to read but because once I'd read the first book in a series, I wanted to continue on with that series until I was caught up!

J. Kaye will not be hosting this challenge for 2010 but the challenge will continue over at Royal Reviews.  Although I am still debating what challenges, if any, I will be participating in for 2010 I do know this will not be one of them.  I think I have enough series started as it is without adding any more!

Here is my final list:

1. Vampire Academy by Richelle Mead (Vampire Academy Series Book 1)
2. The Summoning by Kelley Armstrong (Darkest Powers Trilogy Book 1)
3. Sword Quest by Sabrina Vasta (Sword Quest Series Book 1)
