Yay! Congrats!
Tammie wrote: "I completed a series In the Time of Dragon Moon, Wilde Island Chronicles, YAY!"Good job!
Added The Draconis Memoria (The Waking Fire) to the up-to-date list and moved Dark Alchemy to the Incomplete list because the latest book was just released. I'm going to try to get to it soon. It's an uphill battle.
Mod
It does seem that way but I think we've all made progress. Keep up the good work.

Thanks for the encouragement :)
Moved Dark Alchemy/The Wildlands to the up-to-date-list.
Updated Cedar Cove to 5/12 read and added The bear and the Nightingale as up to date.
Mod
Scott wrote: "Great job. I didn't realize the bear and the nightingale was the start of a series. I thought that was a stand-alone."That's what I thought too, but we found out it's going to be a trilogy. I would rather it have been a stand-alone and it could have been if a few more questions had been answered.
Glad you pointed out it is going to be a trilogy. Going to wait to read it now.
Mod
Marked the first Mistborn trilogy as complete. Yay!

Added The Powder Mage trilogy to the incomplete list (1/3). It won't be long until this one is complete though :)

Bill wrote: "Been seeing a lot on the Green Rider series lately. How you liking it?"I love it. It's one of my favorites.
Added it the old tbr pile. Sounds kind of like the Arrows series by Mercedes Lackey. Is that a fair comparison?
