Challenge 4 of 2014: Finish What You Started!
I just finished #11 with the series I started and didn't finish
I loved it! I am so glad I continued with the series because it just kept getting better
Finished number 3 today, I'm counting it as goodreads TBR (been on shelf since January).
Regarding newer releases - I realized two of my books were published in 2014 (prior to april), so I have 2 new releases, and can only use one more for the challenge.
... I seriously need to pick up the pace. I'm even behind on my yearly reading challenge (sadface)

I did it! I am GOLD! This is such a great thing for me because I was in such a reading slump and this challenge got me kick started. I Am Back Baby! I finished #12 with
which I have had on my kindle for over 2 years. I just got the other two

to keep me company over Christmas break. Thanks for this challenge - it is just what I needed :)
Finished
today. Two more books left! I have to say, I really enjoyed the content of the book, but listening to it on audiobook was hard... the narrator was not that great.Updated #15
Sean Runnette -- I looked him up and it doesn't look like he's done many other YA audiobooks. He'd get a little over zealous on some words, putting over the top emphasis and some longer pauses than necessary. It wasn't awful (I've had to stop listening to some narrators before because the pacing was so bad), but it wasn't amazing either.
never heard of him...shall have to try a sample and see
I just finished my third books (I know, I am woefully behind), which was
. This has been on my TBR since 1/2/12.I updated my original post as well. As a note my OP reads as #35, but my number on the challenge says #41.

Gremlin - TBR/goodreads. I think it was on there since it came out years ago <_< But I know it was definitely on there before this year :)
Finished two more which brings me to 7, but I only have one from the first category (see below). I have another set to read next. Nothing like leaving everything to last minute.♦ One or more of any books in a series that you've started but not continued in over 6 months (Prior to 3/1/2014). It can be an ongoing or a completed book series.
12/23♦ One or more of any book that you've had in your possession for 6 months or more. Physical or ebook, Owned or borrowed! (Waiting to be read since 3/1/2014 or earlier).

(12/09) tbr list for > 6 months My original post #9 is updated. :D Glad I used
and finally read it, because it was definitely one of the better series enders I've read in a very long time. The epilogue had me tearing up and only made the book that much better. Shocker, right? I was beginning to think that all epilogues were outsourced by writers/publishing houses to any bum off the street who knew the alphabet. *coughDeathlyHallowscough*
Finally finished books 11 and 12. I was beginning to think I'd never reach gold!
