Good luck Niamh!! A challenging challenge!


message 3: by Niamh (new)

Niamh | 497 comments Thanks Brenda! I think I have around 30 books on the list right now, but that might grow, depending on what I read over the next couple of weeks, and any new series I start next year will be added to the list :)

Carolyn | 9836 comments Good luck Niamh!
I did a series challenge this year for my personal challenge and did well on some series and read not one book in quite a few others (still enjoyed it though), so I wish you every success :)

 Li'l Owl | 2504 comments Good luck, Niamh!
I failed miserably on my 2017 challenge like this but I'm certain you'll do much better!


message 10: by Kylie (new)

Kylie (kyliemaree) | 878 comments Love this idea! I'm attempting something similar myself with my many series' that I've started, and some I've barely made a dent in! Good luck, happy reading! :)


message 11: by Niamh (last edited Jan 06, 2018 11:39PM) (new)

Niamh | 497 comments Finished Scarlet yesterday, which I give 4.5★


message 12: by Niamh (new)

Niamh | 497 comments And just finished Cress, which gets 4★


message 13: by Baz (new)

Baz MW (bazcatt) Absolutely love the Tomorrow series and could read it over and over again for the rest of my life


message 14: by Kylie (new)

Kylie (kyliemaree) | 878 comments Going well Niamh, I see you've already completed 2! If you can keep up that pace you'll certainly take a good chunk out of this list!


message 15: by Niamh (new)

Niamh | 497 comments Baz: I quite enjoyed the first book when I read it for last year's A-Z challenge. I'm hoping the rest of the series is up to the standard that the first book set.

Kylie: 3 books now! But I go back to work next week, so I think my reading rate is seriously going to suffer. That's why I wanted to get as many books done now as I could.


message 16: by Niamh (new)

Niamh | 497 comments Finished Fairest the other day, which I give 3.5★


message 17: by Kylie (new)

Kylie (kyliemaree) | 878 comments Hehe! Well it's good that you're trying to get as many read as you can before going back to the grindstone. :)

Going very well! :) Hope your reading rate doesn't suffer too badly from next week! :) *fingers crossed*


message 18: by Niamh (new)

Niamh | 497 comments Finished the currently released books of The Antagonists over the course of the past week or so. They're short books so easy to read


message 19: by Niamh (new)

Niamh | 497 comments Haven't updated this in a while. At this point in the year, I am not sure if I will finish this challenge or not. I will try, but I feel like I'm entering a reading slump

Good luck with it Niamh :) I hope you get back to reading soon!

Thanks Brenda!!


message 22: by Niamh (new)

Niamh | 497 comments So a reading slump hit me again, or it's a continuation of the last one, and I have only just finished Hollow City, which gets 4★ from me. I'm actually putting more effort into planning next year's personal challenge than I am into completing this one...


message 23: by Niamh (last edited Dec 02, 2018 05:04AM) (new)

Niamh | 497 comments I don't think I am going to finish this personal challenge, but I gave it my best and am proud of the progress I made in shortening the list of unfinished series.


message 24: by Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen (new)

Brenda | 79969 comments Mod
That's the main thing Niamh - and you can always continue in 2019 :)


message 25: by Niamh (new)

Niamh | 497 comments I think part of the reason I didn't get further into this list was lack of access to books. Either my library didn't have them or the kindle copy was too expensive to bother with. Next year I'm sticking to books I already own


message 26: by Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen (new)

Brenda | 79969 comments Mod
That's probably a good plan :) I've tried to reduce my owned books this year, and while I have, for some reason more just manage to appear!! lol


message 27: by Niamh (new)

Niamh | 497 comments Its amazing how that happens!!

Brenda | 79969 comments Mod
LOL!
