2017 Finish the Series Reading Challenge

[Diane U]

In the 2017 Reading Challenges thread, Natalie suggested starting a 2017 Finish the Series Challenge.

Everyone is welcome to participate. For each person participating, list the series you want to finish, along with the titles to be read, and see how many you can complete in 2017. Or, you can just keep track of the series that you finish as you go. It's up to you!

Ready, go!

[Natalie]

I planning to try to at least start and finish , , , and by Amy Clipston. I would also like to start and finish , and if possible.

[Carolyn]

I thought I finshed amish secrets last year; but, now see you have the information for the third book, thanks for sharing that, Natalie, due sept this year.

[Carolyn]

I am better set with goals for this year; especially to finsih series; and what i need to find to finish those series. Here are a few i have definitely lined up:
1. Home to Hicory Lane, a book group read from last year, the others
, and close to home.
2. An Elizabeth Harris Novel
book one , book 2

continue Kate Burkholder series:
book 2, book 3 book 6, book 7
book 8 book 9 publishes july 2017
Linda Castillo kate burkholder mysteries can be read alone; so I like to get in a few mysteries; that aren't so bloody and gory.
so will probably read a few a year, of hers.
that's enough for now.

[Carolyn]

THIS WILL HAVE TO BE A GOAL FOR NEXT YEAR; i HAVEN'T GOTTEN TO ANY OF THESE SERIES. I am trying to finish listing what series i want to finish this year of 2017 and it finally came to me that there can be three series with the same title:

I love Cindy Woodsmall books but I have to admit I am behind on them. I have not read this series yet but I will put it on my TBR list.

[Barbara]

I have loved "The Matchmakers of Huckleberry Hill" series by Jennifer Beckstrand! Grandparents, Annie & Felty, matchmaking for their single grandchild is a hoot. There are 7 books in the series so far with number 8 due out the end of next month.

Give it a try!

I will definitely add to my list. Sounds like a winner.

[Lorraine]

I read the Honeybee Sisters series by Jennifer Beckstrand last year & loved them if anyone is looking for a good series to read! I've read a good many books this year but not series.

Oh no! I would never put Laura Hilton's books in the same series as Jennifer Beckstrands. Ha. No, I was referring to the topic that I responded to about the Huckleberry Hill, series.



Laura, is this the book you are referring to?
The Amish Wanderer by Laura V. Hilton

oh my goodness, I had to look back. So very sorry, I added a book for a different topic; too many coals in the fire at one time. I deleted that posting.

[Carolyn]

, and ; Healing Series by Adina Senfit finished

Adina Senft left the most moving action in this last novel. It has been interesting to see how the characters moral values change throughout the novels; as they learn the important issues in life; and how God has a plan for all of us.

[Carolyn]

2017 I have 4 amish series read, almost

https://www.goodreads.com/series/1109...

I have one and a half books to fiinish

[Carolyn]

The final third book of the Amish of Summer Grove series, Gathering the Threads, a unique reading experience. Book one 'the ties that bind' and book two 'fraying at the edges' need to be read in it's series order. The rules of the amish community and it's bishops come into play in this novel. the storyline and conclusion are so unique; I will make it a favorite series for 2017. The three book series; has families going through many changes, to keep you in suspense and final conclusion. People of different cultures mended together through a unique secret efforts to help those in dire need.

[Carolyn]

I am so surprised how many amish book are 'series' I'm am challenged and hopefully, this will be my last ditch effort to do a three binder for
series finished,
series to finish purchasing
series to read
hopefully this will keep me on the goal of finishing more of my TBR shelf. I am aware of folder that can be put together on goodreads shelf, but that can be a lot of shelves to go through also. But, I do have all books listed on goodreads shelves, thankful for this site.
there are so many cute journal pages to make it more interesting to put together in a binder.

[Carolyn]

Barbara, can we bring back this challenge next year; since a lot of amish books are a series set? thanks for consideration
