Sure ! Why not? But maybe not one every week. I can only deal with so many "required readings" at the same time. lolAnd if that works maybe we can do Elemental Assassins as well ;)

Just finished the pilot for Once Upon a Time. Can I have the binge watcher version of season 1, please?
Haha, now it's a matter of actually reading it...
It's already there for me. That and waaaaay too many other series.... I had to put them under spoiler tags because it's so intimidating. lol
Sonia wrote: "The kids? The cat and the necromancer all grown up"Yep, those are from the first Edge book (also the only one I read so far)
Sonia wrote: "@Eldarwen: I am so happy not to be the only one with some kind of one book remaining list."Yeah, for me it's mostly series where the last one was not available at the time. But then it takes me ages to get to the new book. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Sonia wrote: "@Claire: I shouldn't have looked at the spoiler tags... just saying. LOL. Same as I said to Amanda regarding KD.
Last Elemental Assassin I read was Venom. We could buddy read the rest if you wan..."
Haha, I know. I probably won't read all the books mentioned. Really it's just a way for me to have a good view of where I'm at in my series. I'm already glad I managed to finish Anita Blake this year. Well, until I discovered there was a new book coming out in february... haha
It's never ending!
For Mercy Thompson and Alpha & Omega, I actually read about 5 or 6 of them yeaaaars ago. I know it's good. But to continue I really had to reread it from the beginning, which I started last year. But because I barely remember anything, I don't really count it as a reread ;)
Sonia wrote: "Oh btw, you might want to add Iron and Magic (The Iron Covenant, #1; Kate Daniels, #9.5) by Ilona Andrews (Hugh's book) in between Magic Binds and Magic Triumphs. It's kind of important. According to Ilona & Gordon, although the 3 Iron Covenant books are chronologically in between, they were planned to be read in the published order.."Good to know ! But I was planning to read her books in de KD universe in order of publication anyway ;)
Supernatural is definitely on the list of shows to consider for this challenge. Don't worry it will be added to this list at some point. This one as well as many many others ;)
Claire's SpotRight this sounds waaaaay too ambitious, but putting it all out like that will help me get a better view of where I'm at.
Number of books read for this challenge: 24

I'm slightly further. I read book 5 last. But the length of the series + spin-offs, as well as the length of the books is a bit intimidating. Not the mention the hype...
I really need to go back to the Black Dagger Brotherhood series as well.
