Since I'm trying to cut down my TBR pile this year, I'm gonna read some collections or series I've got lying around (some of the same author, some just released as collections of related works). And let's face it, most of the books I own are unread because I've got serious book buying problem and I end up reading library copies anyway.So here are some series I plan on read, and hopefully finish in 2015.
Penguin's Great Foods collection [00/20]
Vintage War series [00/12]
Patrick Ness' Chaos Walking trilogy [00/03]
Cornelia Funke's Inkworld trilogy [00/03]
I've decided not to use members' corner and keep it all together here. At least something in my life should stay organized.The A-Z Challenge [00/26]

Wow! You set a lot of lofty goals. I'm super impressed. How is your challenge-achievement coming?

I think I might be somewhat done with my 40 for reading women but I have no idea, if those were all I've previously never read ornot.
If the challenges don't inspire you to read, that's totally fine. They are really interesting ideas but require a lot of maintenance to stay on top of them. As long as you are reading, that is all which matters.Keep up the great work!
I've already made some reading lists for various challenges I found online (including Eclectic Reader's Challenge with 12 books and something with 50 books in it) and I'm also trying to get through some books of the infamous Rory Gilmore Reading List. I'm also counting on adding some comic books or graphic novels to make it bit easier for myself.
