2nd Quarter Challenge: Finish Those Series!

[Melissa]

I'm 2/3rds done with one of mine :) Just finished the 2nd in the Divergent series:

Insurgent by Veronica Roth.

[Jodi]

Hi Everyone!

Oh my gosh, we have a great group here. There are so many people signed up. Welcome to everyone. Please check and make sure I have you on the list, your name correct and the number of series you plan to read correct.

I think I have everyone and I have updated people who have completed series already. Way to go by the way! I am looking forward to seeing what books you all read.

Talia, I enjoyed the other two books but I am hoping for some closure ...probably won't get it right?

[NancyMagaly]

I will complete three series (yikes, I hope I complete this one)!
I'll finish the Nicholas Flamel series (5/6)


The Divergent series (1/3):




Bloodlines(0/3)

[Jodi]

Welcome Nancy! There are lots of us wanting to finish the Divergent series. Bloodlines looks good. I look forward to hearing what you think about them.

[Karma]

I'd like to join here. I want to finish 3 series:

The Selection Series: read 2/3
Anna and the French Kiss: read 2/3
The Silo Series: 2/3

So I guess that's 3 series, 3 books total.

[Michelle L.]

I am only in the process of reading two series.

Divergent series by Veronica Roth (1/3)

The Calder Saga (9/11) I didn't want to finish this because I really don't want the story to end, but here it goes.

[Sherry]

I'm in but haven't decided which series to do because there is a few on my TBR list as well as other series I'm interested in.

For now, put me down for 3 series and I can update it as I go.

[Jodi]

Welcome Karma! I am on hold with the library for The Selection Book 1. I had no idea Anna and the French Kiss was part of a series.

Hi Michelle. I am planning on reading the second and third books in the Divergent Series too. I am super excited for those books. I already have a Michelle on the list. Is there a last name initial that I can use with your name to help differentiate between the two of you?

Sherry, I too have way too many series I need to read. I am looking forward to seeing what you choose.

[Naomi]

I finished the Bloodlines series by Richelle Mead! That's my first series finished.
The books in the series are listed below, but I only had to finish the last one.

[Lisa B]

I would like to join. I want to finish 3 series.

Divergent- 2/3
Selection- 2/3
Hannah Swensen mysteries- 9/17

Last initail is D.

[Jodi]

Welcome Lisa! I don't think I have heard about the Hannah Swensen Mysteries.

Gnomy, I have you updated. Congratulations on finishing your first series.

Thanks Michelle!

[Karma]

Jodi, I liked The Selection and it was a quick read for me. In the second book in the Anna and the French Kiss series, Anna isn't the main character. She plays a minor role in the romance of Lola, the main character for that story. It's kind of cheating to call it a series, but it was nice to see Anna again.

[Helen]

I like this one. I'm in for 3 series.

I don't think I'll be able to read a lot in the coming months, so I would rather skip this challenge for now... I would really want to finish those series, but it will have to be some other time...
Good luck and fun to you all!

[Jodi]

Welcome Helen! I have you down for 3 series. Your totals listed, is that how many you have left in each of your series?

Sherry, I have wanted to read the Shatter Me series for a while now! The covers of those books are so beautiful. Can't wait to hear what you think.

Elsbeth, I have removed you from the list. Good luck with your reading.

I just found out that they pushed the release date for the Anna and the French Kiss series third book until August so I won't be able to use it for this challenge. I will still do three series, though. I'm thinking I'll do the Matched series, but I'm not sure yet.

[Jodi]

I have you updated Sherry! Way to go :)

Karma, too bad for the Anna and the French Kiss book. I have wanted to read the Matched Series.

Welcome Amanda. I have you on the list.

Good start Helen on your first series.

Nope, so you'll soon be in with the rest of us counting down the days until the final book is released!

[[deleted user]]

Finished my first series!

I completed the last book in the Dark Tower series, The Dark Tower last night.

I am also increasing my goal to five series (see message 31), so I am at 1/5.

[Jodi]

Congratulations Kelsi! I updated you.

[Adriana]

I started and finished a series I didn't plan on but it was awesome so whatever :P



So two series down.

[Jodi]

I love the covers of those books Adriana. They are so pretty.

I know right? I didn't like them before I read the series but then I started loving them (:

3. Delirium Series- 3/3

Delirium
Pandemonium

[Naomi]

I'm adding an extra series into my challenge. That'll make my total 4 expected series.
Howl's Moving Castle trilogy by Diana Wynne Jones: 1/3 completed

[Jodi]

Congratulations Araceli! How is the Delirium series? I have seen a lot of positive reviews for the books. Are they mature books or more for young teens?

[Ari]

Jodi wrote: "Congratulations Araceli! How is the Delirium series? I have seen a lot of positive reviews for the books. Are they mature books or more for young teens?"

Thanks Jodi, They're actually more mature books. I really liked the series. I especially loved the first two books. I love the main character, Lena and how she evolved throughout the whole series. I recommend it. I think you'd like it.

Oh good, I will add them to the list. I find the YA books so hit and miss for me, as an adult reading them. Right now I am reading Eleanor & Park and find it young and hard to relate to the characters. I like YA books but they have to be more mature.

Nancy I've been very curious about the Nicholas flame series. Had samples on my kindle a few times. What did you think of them?

[Megan]

Just completed my first series - Jo Graham's Numinous World series - The Emperor's Agent by Jo Graham. I really enjoyed the first two books in this series but then it just devolved from there. The final book was more erotica than historical fiction. Not worth reading this book, but definitely read the first two books in the series! 2 stars

1/3

[Jodi]

Way to go Megan! Everyone is doing so well. I am in the middle of A Feast for Crows, which is such a long book. I feel like I will never finish.

I read that entire series in a single year a few years back. I completely understand, but I think it would be too confusing to not read those books all in a row. Too much of the story and characters would be lost. good luck!

Michelle,
Hi! I have truly enjoyed the series. It happens to be one of the few my husband, sixteen year old daughter and I all really like. If you like mythology, history, and fast paced action, then I would highly recommend! The series doesn't contain any sex or steamy romance lines, just a propel in storyline that brings legendary and heroic characters to life. If you end up reading The Alchemyst, let me know what you think

Just finished The Walking Dead series. It was excellent!

[Jannene]

I wish this was a yearly challenge. I have so many I could finish. ☺️

[Jodi]

Congratulations Talia! I still need to get started watching that series.

Jannene, I have made it my own yearly challenge in my section under "My Corner". You can do that too. The trouble is, I keep starting new series and that section keeps getting bigger instead of smaller.
