Our series challenge offers a little extra encouragement to finish all those trilogies, quartets, sequences, sagas, and series in our To Read stacks. It's been a very nice little incentive, so let's keep up the tradition!

Steps:

1. Create a comment on this thread.
2. Pick a series you've begun and want to finish. List the series title, the number of books, and how many you've read.
3. Update your comment throughout the year, adding the books you finish during 2020.

Add as many series as you want to finish. Feel free to include your own comments to serve as a recommendation, an overall rating in the form of stars *****, and links to your reviews here on Goodreads.

Have fun!
