[Megan]

Finished my third and final series - In the Garden series by Nora Roberts - Overall, the series was well-done and enjoyable. This final book, however, was much more paranormal in nature, and while it brought an end to the series, it was not my favorite read of the three books. Overall, series is definitely worth reading. 3.5 stars, 4 stars for entire series

3/3

[Jodi]

I have you updated Erika! You are almost there.

Congratulations Megan! Way to go :)

Welcome Jennifer! I can't believe you are going for 6! Do you have a last initial I can add to your name. I have another Jennifer in this challenge. It will be easier to track your progress if I have your last initial.

[Jaclyn]

I'm now 3/5!


The Hush, Hush series: 4/4 COMPLETED!

[Jodi]

What is your next series you are going to read Jaclyn?

[Jaclyn]

Probably the Mortal Instruments. The last book came out today so I'll most likely read that one to finish up the series. Then I only have one more book to read to finish the Leo Demidov series, so I see the light at the end of the tunnel! Lol

[Jennifer]

Welcome Jennifer! I can't believe you are going for 6! Do you have a last initial I can add to your name. I hav..."

Sorry, I always forget how many of us there are - I go by J.J. when surrounded by Jennifers, but my last initial is "R."

[Jannene]

Can you reduce my series from 6 to five? One book hasn't been released yet so that is impossible to finish.

I have finished 5/5. I just finished and the next book isn't out yet.

[Lynn]

Just finished the Vish Puri series by Tarquin Hall -- with the latest -- The Case of the Love Commandos. This is the 4th book in the series and nothing on Goodreads about #5. These are fun and fast. I'm 7/10 for the challenge and have read 10 books of 13 total. I've updated my original list at ✼ Message 14 ✼

2 more for the last series in this challenge..

[Alison]

I finished Divergent. I just need to stick with one series and finish it instead of jumping around!

[Lynn]

Just finished the Dr. Siri Paiboun series by Colin Cotterill -- with the ninth book -- The Woman Who Wouldn't Die. This cosy series is set in 1975 Laos and serves up the adventures of a geriatric coroner. Great books!

I'm 8/10 for the challenge and have read 11 books of 13 total. I've updated my original list at ✼ Message 14 ✼

Pendergast series
12/13

[Ari]

Finished 1 more series! Update 2/4

The Bronze Horseman Series 3/3

[Merja]

I have to change my goal from 2 to 1 :(

I've been lazy reader lately, so I don't have any chances to read 11 books in June. But 5 books is pretty realistic. So I'm going to just read Pendergast series and hopefully get it finished in time.

[Jaclyn]

Completed goal 5/5 series!!

The Mortal Instruments series: 6/6 COMPLETED!

[Jodi]

I think I have everyone updated! You are all doing so well. Don't worry about having to lower your goal Merja. I have had to lower mine and I don't even think I will make that one.

Jaclyn, how was City of Heavenly Fire? I started it but just haven't been able to read.

[Jaclyn]

Jaclyn, how was..."

I thought it was pretty good! I was pleased with the conclusion. Much better than some other series conclusions I've read lately.

[Michelle L.]

Santa In Montana finishes the Calder saga for me. Which means I have completed 1 out of my 2 series. Now to finish the Divergent series.

[Eggp]

All finished, good luck everyone!

4/3

[Lynn]

[Jodi]

Hi everyone,

I think I have all the updates listed on the progress chart. Please let me know if I have missed anyone. I can't believe this quarter is almost over.

[Lynn]

Challenge Complete!

Just finished the Sam Acquillo series by Chris Knopf -- with the fifth book -- Black Swan. This series is set in the Hamptons and may be over....there hasn't been a new book in 3 years.

I finished 10 series for the challenge and read 13 books altogether. Now the decks are clear to continue some new characters I discovered through the Read Women Challenge this quarter.

I've updated my original list at ✼ Message 14 ✼

Thanks for creating and leading the challenge Jodi!

[Jodi]

Congratulations Lynn! I am glad you enjoyed the challenge.

[Karena]

Ugh, I'm going to have to drop down to 3 instead of 4. Got super overwhelmed lately book-wise. Thanks!

[Victoria]

I finished The White Princess by Philippa Gregory on 04.06.14. This is the final book of the final series that I set myself to complete. I have now finished all three series and completed my challenge. I have updated message 170 with my full list. Thanks for hosting

[Claire]

I've completed Divergent, and have started Insurgent, so it looks like I'll have no problem getting that series finished.

My third series can't be finished until July, because the last book's release got delayed, but I'm preordering it for my kindle, so I'll have it on the 8th.

[Jodi]

I hear you Karena. I haven't been able to read much at all this whole quarter. I updated your goal.

Congratulations Victoria. I have you updated.

Claire, just let me know when you finish the last in the series. Don't worry about it finishing in July.

[[deleted user]]

I don't think I will get through the game of thrones series either. Far too busy lately. I'm going to decrease my goal to four please.
