I think I'll try to finish the Malazan series - the main series, will consider the add-on trilogies and stuff if I actually get it done in reasonable time.

I've read the 3 first books, which leaves these 7:

0/7

House of Chains
Midnight Tides
The Bonehunters
Reaper's Gale
Toll the Hounds
Dust of Dreams
The Crippled God

I'm NOT sure I'll get through all these - they're massive books with huge information density, and I'm not a binge-series-reader, soo. Will see!

I am updating and consolidating message 71 and message 75, more so that I can keep track but also to add a few more. This is like a bag of potato chips. Just can't seem to stop!

I will finish 5 series:
Night Soldiers by Alan Furst (3 books left)
Lord Meren by Lynda S. Robinson (1 book left)
TekWar by William Shatner (3 books left)
Mellinnium by Stieg Larsson (1 book left)
The Century Trilogy by Ken Follet (1 book left)

Every book I list lately seems to be a book 1 in a series, so I will start 8 series (8 books) though I haven't decided which ones as yet, except for these:
The Stainless Steel Rat by Harry Harrison
Rebel of the Sands by Alwyn Hamilton
American Gods by Neil Galman
U.S. Civil War by Harold Coyle
Foreigner by C. J. Cherryh

Also, I will easily read 24 books in series I am currently reading.

And since I have boxed myself in due to another challenge where I said I would read what turned out to be two book 3's of trilogies and I hate reading a series out of order, I will read 3 series from start to finish:

Underworld USA by James Elroy (3 books)
Red Rising by Pierce Brown (3 books)
Bill Hodges Trilogy by Stephen King (3 books)

So, if I count right, 50 books.

[Mary Pat]
