2014 Series Challenge hosted by Read. Sleep. Repeat.
And now for another Reading Challenge update!
(7/17/2014)
Latest update: Previously stated personal goal officially completed.
New Goal: Read 12 or more completed series (first book to last)
Okay. I think I've officially completed this challenge. With 18 completed series under my belt this year so far, I think I've proven my point--I'm a hermit with nothing but my books to keep me sane. With Kasie West's announcement that Pivot Point will only be a duology (/cries), it is an official completed series on my list now. Only two series remains to be finished in the coming year(s).
Of course, this doesn't mean that I've stopped reading series. I might even contemplate creating a new personal goal. Maybe. A goal such as starting and finishing 12 or more series this year (as in, not just finishing series that I started reading in previous years). I have 10 of those on my list already, so it would only be another 2+ left (one series I've already begun reading).
Something like that maybe...
Just for my sake (or anyone's curiosity), here is a simple list of all the completed series I have read entirely in 2014:
1. Glass series by Maria Snyder
2. Insider series by Maria Snyder
3. Chasing Evil Trilogy by Leslie Tentler
4. The Bodyguards by Cindy Gerard
5. Black CATs by Leslie A. Kelly (aka Leslie Parrish)
6. Mindhunters by Kylie Brant
7. The Borderline by Laura Griffin
8. Sheridan by Kate Brady
9. Donovan by Elizabeth Lowell
10. Song of the Lioness by Tamora Pierce
As a side note, I read all of Maria Snyder's Study series this year as well, but since she has planned another three books for the series to be published beginning 2015, I'm not going to count it towards this particular list. Yes. I am THAT particular about things.
Anywho...
Bronze Badge: 1 - 3 Series
Silver Badge: 4 - 6 Series
Gold Badge: 7 - 11 Series
Platinum Badge: 12 or more Series
