As of 4/28/2014 -- This post has been reblogged and updated.
I've decided to take my original post for the 2014 Series Challenge I'm participating in this year and create a post for it on it's own. Things may look less messy this way... I hope. I just need to rearrange things a little and use this as my official 2014 Series Challenge "go to" post for updates. And maybe reblog it monthly depending on how my progress is going.
I suck at structure, though, so whatevs.
Originally part of my More Reading Challenges post.

2014 Series Challenge hosted by Read. Sleep. Repeat.
- THIS! This Reading Challenge is perfect for all of those series that I still need to finish (Divergent, etc...), or those series in which I've already read Book #1 (Partials, Lunar Chronicles, so on and so forth), as well as all the series I'm following like a maniacal fangirl that conclude this year (The Grisha...), and am truly wanting to simply finish said series! I am SO participating in this one! Besides, I already have a list of series I'm reading and need to finish, and series I'm wanting to start reading that finish this year. I have an excel spreadsheet for that too.
And OMG! Badges!
Goal: Gold Badge (7 to 11 series)
I'm going to be realistic here and not go for the Platinum even though I've already listed at least 20 different series I could finish this year (Keyword: "could"). But since there are definitely at least 5 series I already had plans to finish, I'm going to challenge myself to finish at least two more.
