Congratulations on finishing a looong series! I bought the entire series, but read only 4 books so far and I liked all those books. I see you rated them 3 and above. I am inspired by this and am planning to include this series in my next year's challenge.

Thank you.
I am obsessed with reading a series in order anyway:)

Welcome! I like your series choices.

Awesome, Darbella! And thank you everyone for the warm welcome :) I'm going through and editing my post to update.

We have 19 participants this year in our Series challenge. We are happy that you all liked the challenge. So far we planned to continue the challenge as it is for the next year too. But we are still open for any suggestions.

Please feel free to post your suggestions here or in 'The Parliament' before the end of November. The new series challenge thread will be started in December to give time to those of you who plan ahead like me:)

I love to read a series . I have about 4 series already for next year Series Challenge.

[Mariana]

15 Series down. Only one book to go. Then I need to start planning 2020.

[🐝 Shaz 🐝]

Well done Mariana.

That's amazing Mariana! 15 series! Seriously, awesome!

[Mariana]

It was fun. Hope I can find equally good series for next year.

[Sam I]

Whew, done. I had 9 on my list but ended up binging on Bridgertons too. 46 books, 9 series+Bridgertons makes 10/54. I think I had random ones in there too but too lazy to look!

I think I'm skipping the challenge this year to read unstructured. Who knows this, might be back later.

Great job everyone!

I have started to collect the pennyroyal green series. Which some of you have been reading and given good reviews. So 1 more to my mad about a series challenge. I am sure I will find some more to add. I found some last year from the monthly book read. And from reading all your lovely reviews.

[Mariana]

I completed all 16 Series for this year, but I have not yet planned any new series for 2020. I do plan to think of some before the end of the year and participate though.

Great job! I get that for next year, because this has been a year where I have completed few challenges. I do find this one easy to complete, I just don’t plan what I will read, but several series will be read any way.

[Missy]

I ended up adding a few more series and completing them this year, because they were all available on my Audible Escape subscription. I still have four or five more books to actually read (and not listen to). Not sure if I will be able to complete them before the year ends.

[Jan]

Oops! Sadly, I didn't finish any of my five series for this challenge. I did read some from each series, though. Read 12 (and a half) out of 21 books I was aiming for. I'm now going to try to finish them in 2020. LOL.

[Priya]

I finished my 5 series in time, but looking for good series for 2020.

[Joanna Loves Reading, Bluestocking of HR novels]

I just didn’t finish the Pennroyal Green series. I just got start on book 11 yesterday, but I did finish plenty of series this year.

Have you read Sabrina Jeffries? I've just started our January BOTM The Dangerous Lord and quite enjoying it. It's a book #3 so there's a series you could try. (Is a trilogy considered a series?)

Not sure what you've read, but Joanna Bourne's Spymasters is different and well-written. (I've got one to go LOL).

Yeah I didn't quite finish Pennyroyal Green either. It's such a long series. But I have liked most of the ones I read, and will keep going for 2020.

I am going start the January BOTM tomorrow. If I like the book, I might add the series to my list. A trilogy can be counted as a series.

I will check out Joanna Bourne's series.

For now I added all Laura Lee Guhrke's series to my list.

[Mariana]

Yeah, I mostly only chooses trilogies and other short series for my challenge. I have a hard time reading the long series with 7 plus books.

For 2020 I'm being less ambitious - just going to finish some series I've already started.
