No. If you have read #s 1, 2, and 3 of a series and there are 4 more, then you would indicate that on your post.
I'll post my list in a few minutes and you'll see what I mean.

Okay, I think I get it. First, identify the series you want to complete and the book series #s you have left in the series - then your list of #s will be made up of those numbers - a simple example:
Series 1 - books left 2, 3, 4
Series 2 - books left 4, 5, 6
so my list would look like this

How is everyone doing?"
Not too badly; taking my time yet not standing still. I really do like this challenge; it's made more aware of..."
I absolutely agree. I didn't realize how many I'd started and didn't finish. (Some of course, kept being written, so I just didn't keep up.) It's been fun getting back into hanging out with some old friends.


I have a concern...on my list I have Davis Way 5, 6, 7, 8. Turns out I got the numbers wrong; I read #5 back in September. I should have listed 6, 7, 8, 9 instead. Is it okay to correct my listing? Thanks!

I'm so glad you're loving this challenge, Jennifer. Maybe we can do it again next year.

Please please keep it next year. I have so many series to do and am struggling to keep things off the list so that I get stuff done!

Awesome.

I definitely will. If you think of any slight changes to make it fresh, let me know.

That's good news, right?
I've made another short-cut for you in the first post. It's appropriately titled "G's Message 45".

It's time to find out what happens next in the series you started but haven't finished. Will they get married? Did the butler do it? What happened to the parrot?
Figure out how many series you have started and want to continue. Then make a list of 2s, 3s, 4s, 5s, etc. that you challenge yourself to fill. The only change you can make to your list is to add numbers as you decide to continue a series. You cannot delete numbers. So choose wisely :)
Rules:
* It must be a trilogy or series you have started but not finished.
* You cannot change your list except to add numbers.
* Use your sign-up post for your list.
* No page limit.
* When you've finished a book, rate & date it.
