I have finished Slayer of Gods which is the 6th and last book of the Lord Meren series. I started this series sometime around the turn of the century but completely forgot about it. It was due to goodreads that I eventually rediscovered it and continued. Now, finally, I have finished it. This was one of the 5 series I said I would finish this year.

I am reading the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series at the moment.

Just finished The Battle of the Labyrinth

I am currently in the middle of The Last Olympian

I started this series last year and I didn't like the second book very much. I was thinking about putting it down, but now I'm glad I didn't as it is getting better with every book.

Or should I post two comments: one with my to read list and the other with finished reading and keep editing only the second comment?
