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 2024.

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!

This is a great list! I've read a bunch of these already, and I don't think you'll be disappointed.

They're all titles I've been "meaning to" get around to, in large part because I've heard great things about them. Or because they're in a favorite genre. Definitely not disappointed! (And having wrapped up a few of these, I'll need to add a new series or two for the back half of the year.)
