I never thought of it that way so I must bow to you and your sharp mind!! :0)

Looks like I'm just at a mere 67 active series plus 12 that I'm up to date on!

I'm playing around with FictFact tonight. So far I've got 46 series added, only 5 of which I'm completely caught up with. I'm not sure yet how many other series I've got going, but I sure hope it's not as high as your total Jackie! lol

I so need this challenge. Yesterday I updated my "Let's Get them finished" post at CCC with all of the new series that I've got going and it's daunting to say the least. Some of my pending series are really standalones that I read all out of order, so I know I won't have any problems with the 1's.

A Song for JuliaCharles Sheehan-Miles 5/20/14 (Thompson Sisters #1)

thanks for the invite to join Connie!! It's nice to see a few other familiar faces and look forward to meeting new faces!

I'm Lesley. I live in New Hampshire with my husband and our 2 little guys. Although they're not so little anymore - they're 9 and 11 and the 11 year old is probably going to be taller than I am in a few more months.

I just went back to work this fall, working as an aide at the elementary school, in a first grade classroom. It's quite a change of pace, as I'd been a Stay at home mom ever since the 9 year old was born. My reading time has taken a definite hit since September, yet I can't stop signing up for challenges and also downloading about a gazillion freebies on my Kindle.

Now off to see which challenges here I can't resist!!
