Congratulations, Kelly! You're the first to complete this challenge!
But of course, you're welcome to do a second round and/or just keep going if you're finding this inspiring :)
I've updated myself, as well. I finally got around to reading
. Why did I wait so long?!
#30 I did it! I just finished Mockingjay! Now I can finally say that I finished the trilogy and just in time to see the final movie in theaters!!!This will be my 3rd book finished in this challenge.

Lyzzibug - Peeps was good, but I really (really) like parasites. There's a lot of non-fiction stuff added to the book in certain chapters, which was strange to read at first, but it ended up making sense towards the end. As always, Westerfeld's narrative was easy to read, making it a quick one :)
Finished
today! I'm so far behind on my year goal, so I'm using this challenge to catch up ^_^ updated 105!

Congratulations, Kelly! You've done a splendid job of finishing the challenge in only half the time!
If you're feeling up for it and still into clearing some more things off your plate, feel free to run through the challenge a second time!

.(I think this counts?)
Also, can I read
for this challenge? I'm reading it regardless, I just want to know if it'll count.Updated original post #20
Finished Book 5/6.
(owned)Catching up on this challenge! Post #15 is updated.
Amber wrote: "Also, can I read for this challenge? I'm reading it regardless, I just want to know if it'll cou..."Hi Amber - it can totally count! The rules are pretty open ended in terms of quantity ("one or more in a series") so long as it was a series that you'd stopped reading 6 months ago (or more) and started reading again for the challenge.
Updated! Also, I posted my own completed book -
- from an adult mystery series. (Man - I'm a sucker for animal POV stories).

Ok I just finished #6 -
that has been on my TBR for more than 6 months. I have over a month left in this challenge so for my own challenge I an going to try to read 4 more that I have owned for more than 6 months.

Ooooooh . . . then I can count
(series). Book 6/6 completed and post #15 is updated.I might shoot for double, but I don't think I'm going to push it too much with everything going on next month.
Diane wrote: "Ok I just finished #6 - that has been on my TBR for more than 6 months.

This is such a great challenge for catching up on stuff!
Casey wrote: "I love that series!!!"Have you read the whole series? The books are super fun, though I feel like they might be especially good in a way that ginger is good while you're eating sushi. A fun palate cleanser.

If shooting for double seems like a challenge, you can shoot for half - or pick your own new challenge number (like Diane did) - or even just shoot for MORE. I'm happy to continue to keep track with you :)
Updated #105.
from my goodreads TBR List. Good read -- I like Caragh's writing a lot. The pacing felt off in the last quarter of the book, but darn it, I really need the sequel now because that ending.

Just the first 4 I think. I haven't read them since my dog died. But I will again. And I agree, they are good as a palate cleanser. A fun, not thinking sort of book. They make me laugh and smile.
Finished my 5th. Updated post 17
I think this is MG
Finished #3 -
- TBR since 2012updated post #4.
We'll see if I can finish. I've been trying to wade through library books. It never fails that they all come at the same time!

Hmmmm . . . I make no promises but I'll see what I can wrangle up! I want to continue but not entirely sure how many more it'll be. I've read a TON of adult books (not naughty adult just adult) books on my owned/TBR, just not so much the YA.
