Serial Reader

I will finish 4 series I have started before this year. (25 books)

I was literally thinking I needed a challenge for series earlier today!

I'll be taking part in the following sections:
1. I will finish 6 series I have started before this year. (20 books)
3. I will read 4 series from start to finish this year. (21 books)
My total number of books is 42. (Serial Reader)

I am also undertaking a personal challenge of reading the Sweet Valley series from start to finish so I didn't want to commit to more than I could handle (but let's be honest, I probably already have!)

Another update for message 90. Just finished The Bloom County Library, Vol. 2: 1982-1984. This is book 2 of a 5 book collection of all of the Bloom County comic strips in the order they appeared in the newspapers. After more than 30 years, I still find these hilarious. Also a good reminder of what was going on in the '80s.

Anyway, I shall count this as one of the 24 books of series already started.

3/50 overall.

I started a series (and will not continue) - Julie of the Wolves by Jean Craighead George. I must have read this book as a child, but I didn't remember, which means it didn't make much of an impression at the time. I appreciate George's description of life in the arctic and understand the sentiment behind her narrative. However, it bothered me that the story began in the middle and rather abruptly ended. I will not read the next book. 2.5 stars
