Bit of a slow start to this challenge for me, but I read State of Nature, completing the Park Service trilogy.I'd also like to change my goal, if that's okay Kadijah, to completing the series rather than the books. As that's my focus, but I misread the options! So that would change my goal to completing 5 series.

I hope this is allowed, but I took a spontaneous vacation about 3 weeks ago (and I'm still on it)... I really need to change my total of books for this challenge. I updated my total to 12 in hopes that it's a bit more realistic since I haven't been able to do much reading since I've been away from home. Thanks!

I've finished the series! I hadn't realised that there was another short story - called Callum - in the series, but I read that today and updated my challenge to 5 books (the 4 main & to halves for the shorts!)
Thanks for running the challenge, Kadijah, it's been fun! I think that I got distracted by other books, and that's why I hadn't finished the series! ;)
