I'm late joining in, but I'm going to attempt to series an entire series. I'm new, if you can believe it, mostly The Walking Dead series. I'm trying to read through the graphic novels. So, I'm hoping to read all of The Walking Dead series which amounts to 31 books. Keep your fingers crossed!!! :-) I got pumped up with the decades challenge. I forgot about it, but am reading a wide variety of things these days so ended up rocking it!!!! Thanks for the fun idea!

I have finished Autumn of the Gun, book 3 of Ralph Compton's Trail of to the Gunfighter trilogy. This makes the 8th of the 11 series I said I would finish this year.

And I have finished Storm Front, book 1 of the Dresden Files by Jim Butcher. I really enjoyed this and wish I had got to it a long time ago. Oh well, so many books, so little time as the saying goes.

This is the 12th new series I have started out of the 17 I said I would.

@Gary
Since you are a fellow Witch World enthusiast and you mention all the short stories, I guess you saw the website page of all the Witch World stories listed in the order of narrative chronology followed by publication order?

I'm wondering if reading them out of publication order would make any sense, since I won't be reading all the "fan fiction." Are you planning to read the rest of Witch World?

I didn't realize how many walking dead series there are! So, I'll keep ploughing through them, but more realistically given my reading interests, I'm switching to a series called The Royal Diaries. It's older but for sure has 20 books in it.

Since you are a fellow Witc..."

I am going to make an attempt at it. A pity that some of the short story collections appear to be OOP.

Just completed another part of the Red Rising series - Iron Gold by Pierce Brown. I was initially sad at the beginning of this book that the story had lapsed ten years but not much had changed after the first trilogy. But then I got caught up in the twists and turns of Brown's plot and started to be interested in his complicated characters again. But I knew Brown's writing from the first trilogy enough to know that the suspense would last to the end and would, of course, end in a cliffhanger. The saga continues. Definitely worth reading! 4 stars

[I've reached my book goal, but I still haven't gotten around to some of the series I've planned to read, since I read unplanned ones and more books from some of the series that I've planned. ^^; I'll still be reading as much as I can before the end of the year, but Idk how many more books I'll be adding on top of my goal. We'll see!]

Just read The Forever War book 1 of The Forever War series by Joe Haldeman. This is the thirteenth of the seventeen new series I said I would start this year.
