We all have that corner of our house (literal or metaphorical) where the unfinished series live. This week, you are reading a book that is part of a series.

The beautiful thing about this prompt is that if you are someone who has no unfinished series to read (magic!), you can also use this prompt to start a new series. Maybe even tie it into the frontlist/backlist prompts as well for a trifecta!

What series did you pick, and what book is it in the series?

Pam (bluegrasspam) | 3873 comments I’ll probably read the last book in Richard Osman’s The Thursday Murder club series. Might as well finish it!

Deborah | 486 comments I'll probably read the next in the In Death series, just not sure where I'll be because I may read a few this year.

and maybe: Things I Don't Want to Know

Amy (Other Amy) | 756 comments My trouble with series books is I always end up using them for other prompts, thinking I'll surely read another series for the series prompt. Which I do. Which I use for another prompt LOL.

These are the series I keep up with that have books publishing next year (so far):

Wayward Children: Through Gates of Garnet and Gold
The Singing Hills Cycle: A Long and Speaking Silence
The Murderbot Diaries: Platform Decay

And I'm hoping for another new Sworn Soldier; I'm currently reading What Stalks the Deep.
