Let's Get Them Finished! Redux
Duration: Sign-ups for this challenge will end on January 31, 2028, but you will have as long as you need to finish your series.

Time for another round of an old favorite. Previous rounds of this challenge have been moderated by Sarajayne and Barb.

Do you have so many series to finish that it is hard to keep track of them? Do you periodically come across a series book and think, "Oh, I forgot about you"? Then this challenge is for you.
* You may join the challenge at any time, but since there is no deadline for completion, there is no backdating allowed for this challenge. Thanks!

CHALLENGE RULES:
* Pick a number of series that you have already started; how many series you choose to start with is up to you. Post links to all the books in those series that you haven't read yet and then work towards reading them all.
* Since this challenge is to encourage participants to finish series that they’ve already started, starting a new series does not count towards the challenge. Only series that you have already started when you sign up for this challenge will count.
* This challenge is perpetual: once you’ve completed the series you’ve chosen, you can start over with other series that you haven’t finished.
* All book formats are acceptable, and cross-challenge posting is encouraged.
* When you complete a book, please indicate the date you finished reading it. When you finish a series, please indicate that as well by reposting your series list and marking it as finished. Then, if you would like to start a new round, make a new post and that will be linked in the participant list as Round 2, Round 3, and so on.

I love the Kate Daniels series! I just have Magic Triumphs to go, but I am saving it. For my birthday. Or Christmas.

Welcome, everyone!

One of my all-time favorites. I've purposely not worked towards finishing the series; I want to make it last."

Unfortunately, I didn't know the series had ended until after I read what turned out to be the last book. Same with the Granny Reid series :(

It's been a lot of years, but if I remember correctly, the first book in the series isn't exactly indicative of the rest of the series. Something to keep in mind if you're tempted to abandon it after book #1 :)

I hated that the Granny Reid series just suddenly ended. I was really into it!

I didn't know there was a Granny Reid series! It is now on my TBR :D

It's only something like four or five books. That ended at the same time the Savannah Reid series did, if I remember correctly. It was so sudden, it made me wonder if something happened to the author, rather than the publisher canceling both series.

Welcome to the challenge, GailW!
