Thanks, Kathy! This series is always fun. I'm looking forward to continuing.
ZuzanaI love your series!
I am choosing Option B: The Poirot series and the Discworld series. Wow Discworld is huge and you are almost done!
Thanks Suzanne.As for the Discworld I only wish. I have listed the Discworld - Witches subseries. I started reading Terry Prattchet only recently and somebody recommended to try out Rincewind and/or Witches books first to find out if I enjoy TP's style. It was a great rec, I love it. :D
Louise,I pick Option A - Black Dagger Brotherhood for you.
Jennifer,For you, I'm picking Danger Cove and Southern Ghost Hunter
Danielle,I am not familiar with any of your series so I randomly chose
Unbreakable Bonds by Jocelynn Drake and
Life Lessons by Kaje Harper
Finish those up and you can add two more:-)

That's why I picked one of the shorter ones and one of the longer ones.
I've been trying to get my shorter ones out of the way. To make room for new series and to start getting caught up on the longer ones LOL
Hi Karen,I pick Option B Six Pack Ranch and Wicked Lovers
CathyI’m a big Oberon fan, so I’m going to have to go with Iron Druid!
Hi D.G.,I pick Option A: Mercy Thompson for you. I'm not very familiar with your series, but this one seemed pretty different from Reacher.
Hope you enjoy them!

Thank you!
JoyceI pick for you option B: Bewitch the Dark by Michelle Hauf & Buffy The Vampire Slayer (I checked your thread and see you haven't read anything from either series this year...I figured you would like some variety!)
☘KathyD☘I'll go with Option B and choose Lords of the Underworld and In Death.
@LaurLa I pick for you. Option B "A cop in the family" and "Babara Marr"Enjoy

MARCH 2018 Finish What You've Started (Series) Challenge:
Please post your shelves. NO COMMENTS in this thread please. After I post the pair, it will add a link to the shelf, and then you can add discussion comments.
How It Will Work:
1) Please only post a list of 5 series that you have Already Started but now, you would like to get current on. There must be a minimum of TWO books remaining in your series.
*When listing your series, please only list the bookcovers in the series you have NOT read yet.
**Novellas are optional.
NEW TWIST: PLEASE READ the spoiler
The 5 series you list this month will remain your list until you finish them. When you finish a series, you may replace the finished with another series. The goal is to finish at least 5 of your series by the end of the year. (view spoiler)[
You are granted four vetoes (one every 3 months), where you can replace one series on your shelf with another series. This is usually after you have decided that you cannot/will not continue with this series for whatever reason. You are done and parting ways with that particular series.
If you only have ONE book left in your series then YES you must swap that series out. You can add that one remaining book to Dusty bookshelves, if you'd like.
2. you will repost the same 5 series you posted for this January month unless you a) finish it b) swap it out for another series 3) only have one book left.
You will get another picker EVERY month. So it's possible you will get a different series in February, March etc (hide spoiler)]
Your picker can choose to pick two series for you instead of one. This is because sometimes people read one book and decide they really didn't enjoy the series after all.
Option B gives you the chance to read One Book from Two series, instead of two books form one series.It is the Picker's option!!
2) OPTION A: An assigned person will pick ONE series from your post series.
OPTION B: An assigned person will pick TWO series from your post series.
3) You have one month: MARCH 2018
OPTION A: to try to read as many books in that series as you can—minimum two books in that series.
OPTION B: try to read as many books in the two series as you can—minimum one book per series.
*if you don't read your chosen series, it's okay because this challenge is for YOUR ENJOYMENT.
4) Please try to select for your pair ASAP as we all get excited and waiting is torture to some.
5) After you have made your selections, please return to your original bookshelf and update that shelf with the books your chose and the ones chosen for you.
TIMELINE
