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 2021.

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!

Thanks to the GMGR Series Challenge, I was able to tackle (and finish) a couple of book sets during 2020. Naturally, I also ran into some pretty intriguing series starters. They'll anchor my goals for 2021, but I'll likely add to this list throughout the year.

I rolled in the second in the Time Quintet by Madeleine L'Engle after an unbelievable seven year gap. Although I see they were published with an eleven year gap, so maybe I'm ahead of myself.

So I think I'll have a go at completing the series this year - they're all on my bookshelf, after all.

Time Quintet by Madeleine L'Engle (2 of 5)

A Wrinkle in Time (Time Quintet, #1) by Madeleine L'Engle A Wind in the Door (Time Quintet, #2) by Madeleine L'Engle

The Mysterious Benedict Society (The Mysterious Benedict Society, #1) by Trenton Lee Stewart

I have only read book 1. It was so much fun that I intended to read through the series, but never did pick up the second one. Hopefully this challenge will be the encouragement I need to get through the next 3.

I have the boxed set, #s 1&2, but I have not begun to read the series. Fingers crossed, 2021.

Just wanted to say: I love this series, but don't miss out on the prequel, The Extraordinary Education of Nicholas Benedict, which I think might be my favorite!
