3rd Quarter - Finish the Series Challenge

[Megan BG]

I need to play catchup! Finished 5/15 books.

#4 The Battle of the Labyrinth

[Bridget's Quiet Corner]

Okay. I'll give this a try. I won't over burden myself (I hope) but, there's two series (that I'm willing to try to finish by the end of September, since I came in on this really late). This is the perfect time to try, seeing it's the Bout-Of-Books 17 week (8/22-8/28).

Chronicles Of Narnia by C.S. Lewis
#6 The Silver Chair
#7 The Last Battle

A Cupcake Bakery Mystery by Jenn McKinlay
#5 Going, Going, Ganache
#6 Sugar and Iced
#7 Dark Chocolate Demise
#8 Vanilla Beaned

I need to get books 6-8 but that gives me even more of an excuse to book shop...lol...and this challenge pushes me to at least attempt to get through the series! If I can get @ least 2 done, I think I'd be content...and that might push me to finish the other books sooner rather than later..especially seeing I am part of another challenge that I need to have 7cozies read by the end of the year and Ive only read 4..and Ive got other challenges to meet on the Popsugar Readingt challenges! (Dang reading slump for 3 months put me behind)

La Saga des Fourmis by Bernard Werber
✔ 3. La Révolution des fourmis ★★★★☆ Read from August 18 to 25, 2016

2/3 series finished
8/9 books finished

[Janine]

I read The Seeing Stone, Lucinda's Secret, The Ironwood Tree and The Wrath of Mulgarath, finishing off the Spiderwick Chronicles. Cheating a little bit as it's a children's series and they're all <150 pages, but I say it counts!

I've completed my original goal of 5/5 series.

I'd like to up it to 7 as I've been working my way through a couple of other series this quarter and reckon I can complete 2 more in September :)

Just completed my second series - the Princess of Westfalin trilogy by Jessica Day George. Light, entertaining reads with good fairytale retellings. Worth reading!

#5 The Last Olympian
#5.5 Percy Jackson and the Singer of Apollo

There is 1 more but it's only available in the UK and it's not part of the actual series.

[Janine]

I read Resistance and Defective, completing The Institute trilogy (not counting the novella!) A bit underwhelming, but I think the final book was my favourite.

6/7 series completed

Just finished my third and final series - The Winner's Trilogy by Marie Rutkoski. I had previously read the first and second books, and just finished book three - The Winner's Kiss. I really enjoyed the finale of this series. The author took the story into interesting, unexpected paths, but kept true to the characters. Definitely worth reading! 4 stars

3/3 - challenge completed!

[Janine]

I read A World Without Princes and The Last Ever After, completing The School for Good and Evil series. Sadly, the last two books did not live up to the potential the first book hinted at, but I'm glad to have finished the series and finally get answers to all those questions left unanswered earlier on!

7/7 series completed.

I've absolutely loved this challenge. It's so motivating! Would love to see it as a yearly challenge next year as it's one that works really well over the long-term.

I changed my goal # from 7 to 8. I didn't realize there was another novella in the Kingkiller Chronicles when I first made my list.

I have 5 books left to read, but one is A Dance with Dragons, so I doubt I'm going to make it by the end of this month.

The Goal will be released on the 26th so I may not be able to read it in time but I already completed the number of series for this challenge.

I'm probably not going to read the Last Star this month either (and there's no way I'm reading A Dance of Dragons in the next 10 days)... I just pre-ordered the paperback, which won't be released until May and I think I want to reread the first 2 before I read the 3rd, so hopefully it'll fit into a challenge next year!

I'm down to just finishing Pretty Little Liars now. 2 left! Hopefully I get them from the library before the end of the month!
