Update! Message 177I have read 2 more John Green novels! Almost finished with his works. I also just wanted to mention an honorary author who I discovered this year, Rainbow Rowell. Even though she isn't part of my Complete Works Challenge, I only have Attachments and her new book Carry On to read for her completion. I think she is an amazing author and would love to go to a book signing for her one day!
Just completed three books for Kristan Higgins, the Gideon's Cove series. Good series overall. Not as good as her most recent books, but the first and last were definitely worth reading. Overall 4 stars. 3/9 for this author.
Just completed my first book for Gabrielle Zevin - Elsewhere by Gabrielle Zevin. I was uncertain of this book at the beginning. The concept seemed far-fetched and the teenage character was very angst-ridden. However, about halfway through, the book started to get much better and more complex. Overall, I enjoyed the book. 3 stars

If you recently started a series, say within the last year, then no you don't need to re-read them.
