I just finished putting my other series on a post - thought it would be great to have one place to reference them all. Went to post - too long- tried to split post up - LOST COMPLETE POST!!!!

PART 2!! My post got too long so I split it!

UK #2

[Catherine]

Those pretty covers drew me in and now I've added a bunch of books to my tbr list. Good idea for the challenge, if only to let me discover new books!

[Regina]

Anyone else feeling suddenly overwhelmed after posting your lists?

Regina wrote: "Anyone else feeling suddenly overwhelmed after posting your lists?"

I'm thinking it's a good job we have six months for all I've posted!!

[Angie]

I'm in. I will sort through my books, make some lists and see what grade I can do. I would love to attempt 'Impossible?' but unless the time limit is extended I think it would live up to it's name!!!

Maybe next year.... :)

[Samantha]

Regina wrote: "Anyone else feeling suddenly overwhelmed after posting your lists?"

no not really, I feel overwhelmed looking a the stack of books I have to read, sitting here.

[Angie]

After I worked out a list I was trying to cut it down and then thought 'sod it' and I'm going for Impossible! I know I won't get finished but I'm going to see how far I can get - I'll be happy with getting my list halfed!

I feel at home, this is the first group I have discovered who isn't shocked, dismayed or just can't believe I have so many series going and don't get it.


thank for you finding me a home : )

LOL! I have started those 5 I have listed plus 5 more and then another 5or more that I am waiting for the next book on. So I totally understand.

[Felon]

this group makes me feel normal!

[Suzanne (Under the Covers Book blog)]

Lol me too, I keep looking at peoples lits and thinking, "I have started to read that series too!" My list of incomplete series seems to keep expanding!

after looking at my June list, I have some to add, but my defense is 1) didn't know it was a series and 2) the second book has NOT been published yet LOL

Mine too, and then I add more to my list and it's never ending which is fine by me I love reading and I will keep adding to my library, and then one day I will have all of them read and be dandy as candy.

[GinBee, Founder & Mod]

Suzanne wrote: "Lol me too, I keep looking at peoples lits and thinking, "I have started to read that series too!" My list of incomplete series seems to keep expanding!"

My list of series is expanding at an incredible rate!!! I might not have as many series as many of you but I feel so at home because I add 2 to 4 series a month!! Hence this challenge seemed a good idea!! At the start of the year my series count stood at 2 (Stephanie Plum and HON) now it's 18 and after I finish my next few reads will be 22! People think I've got a lot of series on the go but I'm just a beiginner - I look up to and aim to be like you people with 50+ series on the go! I ask myself why I took so long to start reading fiction again!!!!! If I'd continued to read as I did as a child and teenager I would have 100's of series!!

Only thing is this challenge has me finding even more series to add to my TBR!!

[Regina]

Jen ~ "Dhexterity" wrote: "Only thing is this challenge has me finding even more series to add to my TBR!! "

Well maybe the true outcome of this challenge will be the discovery of more series and additions to our TR shelf. :)

[Suzanne (Under the Covers Book blog)]

I haven't counted how many I have to read, I just know it is a lot! I just finished Slave to Sensation by Nalini Singh, so that is another series to add to the list. ALthough I am glad I am it is soooo good!
