Fantastic!

[Mary Beth]

I completed the Kovak and Liska Series by Tami Hoag. Also I am up to date in two series DI Kim Stone Series and Harry Bosch Series this month. Woo Hoo!

[Jonetta]

You go, Mary Beth!!!

[Monica]

Great job, Mary Beth! I can't think of anything that feels more productive than catching up on a series, lol.

[Mary Beth]

Thanks Jonetta, Stephanie and Monica! I agree Monica catching up on a series makes me happy and I feel like I accomplished something.

[Laura]

Yay, Mary Beth! What's next for you?

[Mary Beth]

Thanks Laura! Lol! Next month I will have the Will Trent series by Karin Slaughter up to date. Im reading Criminal
right now.

[Laura]

Today I caught up with Jaci Burton's Play by Play series. It took me a year 11 books and some novellas. What I'm most happy about I did it all through the library.

Your reading is all so intense. Very impressive.

Wow, Laura! Kudos to you for finishing and saving money in the process.

[Mary Beth]

Good Job Laura! Thats a lot of work. I love my library. I go there at least twice a month. I love the suspense. I did read two fantasy books this Month. Magic Bites and World After (Penwyn and the End of Days. I love my mysteries and thrillers though.

That series is so expensive, It was very hard waiting for them to become available. especially the new releases.

I have Criminal up next. Looking forward to seeing what you think.

[Tracey]

Well done Mary Beth and Laura!

[Lauren]

Everyone is doing so well! I'm so jealous. Only caught up on two series so far this year. I really have to attack my one book remaining list head on!

[Lieke]

You're still doing better than me Lauren, I'm still stuck at zero for up-to-date series and finished series.

I'm planning to do that in May.

You'll get there!

It is hard, it seems like series keep getting longer and longer. Also each week there are so many tempting new releases, it's impossible to resist them, for me anyway.

Monica I will let you know how I like it when I finish it, I really like it so far. Im reading two books so it might take awhile.

I'm right there with you Lauren. I've only finished two series so far this year. It seems like many of the series I'm reading are very long.

[Jonetta]

But you are all making headway into your series! We're going to reach those goals by year end!

[Kris (My Novelesque Life)]

For the past few years I have been wanting to read Robyn Carr's Grace Valley trilogy but have been stalling on it. I thought I would read one book a month but instead I managed to finish all three books in less than a week (thanks to doing 2 things at once, lol).

That's great!

[Kris (My Novelesque Life)]

Thanks, Crystal. Nice to complete a goal :)

[Jonetta]

Awesome, Kris! Love that you started a series already on your shelf and finished it in the same month.

I worked on Easter Sunday for 5 hours on my own (clearing out the book chute at the library) and then spent most of Monday baking and cooking lol.

[Viki]

I am doing well with my goal. I have read 17 books far this year. My goal is 25. I feel bad when it is not a series book but about half of them are books i own so that make me happy.

[Jonetta]

That's wonderful, Viki!

[Viki]

Jonetta wrote: "That's wonderful, Viki!"

Thanks. When i read books from my own shelf instead of new books from library, i find authors I havent read in awhile, even though they arent series book, it is nice to read an author you love and having read in a while.

You are doing so well, Viki. It's always good for the budget to read books we already own.

[Viki]

I am so close to completing both of my goals for 2016! I had a goal to finish 25 books by the end of the year and I am getting close to finishing that goal.

[Jonetta]

Oh, Viki, that's just splendid! Congrats to you.

[Lauren]

WTG Viki!

[Renee]

I'm hoping to finish the Cedar Cove series by Debbie Macomber next month and catching up on the Women's Murder Club by James Patterson by the end of the year. I only have one book to read in the Cedar Cove series and I'm currently on #11 in the Women's Murder Club. I'm going to try to catch up on the Women's Murder Club series by the end of the year but I have 8-10 books on my night stand that's calling my name!

[Mary Beth]

This is a huge accomplishment that I did this month. I have never binge read a series before and I started three series this month and binge read them and am now up to date in these three series.

DCI Matilda Darke Series by Michael Wood
For Reasons Unknown
Outside Looking In
A Room Full of Killers

Promise Falls Trilogy by Linwood Barclay
Broken Promise
Final Assignment
Far From True
The Twenty-Three

The Forgotten Files by Mary Burton
The Shark
The Dollmaker

The thing is I loved all three series and really enjoyed it.
