Just updated my post. Couple more down and added another series to finish.

[Charlotte (Buried in Books)]

Just over 2 months left of the year - I don't know where the time has gone. I keep getting sidetracked by other challenges (I really want to try and finish a couple of A-Z challenges, it's my third attempt at them).

I must admit I've already selected some series that would be suitable for this challenge if I decide to do it again next year!!!

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

Yep, Charlotte, so have I. LOL

[Charlotte (Buried in Books)]

Is anyone else interested in doing this challenge again next year???

[Belinda]

Yes pls! I'll have some to carry over I think....

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

I'm sure if you set it up Charlotte ... they will come!

[Christine]

Yes, please. I'll half about half of this year's list to carry over, plus this year's new series.

[Josie]

I liked this challenge! I'm halfway through at the moment but hope to be a bit further by the time the year is out :)

[Charlotte (Buried in Books)]

OK, when we get closer to year end I'll set up a new thread for next year! I'm so glad you guys are enjoying it (doing my happy dance).

[Jeann (Happy Indulgence)]

I didn't do too well with my challenge, got carried away with all the other challenges and buddy reads and bingo! Did manage to finish 2 out of the 6 I wanted though. Better luck next time!

Finished:
Night Huntress series
Luxe series

Unfinished:
Inheritance
Mortal Instruments - That Jace and Clary thing as brother and sister put me off and I haven't picked up book 3 since! I know because of spoilers that this isn't the case but still.
Tatiana and Alexander
The Giver - tried giving the 2nd book a go but had difficulties getting into it.

[D.G.]

Same thing happened with me. Here's my tally:
3/7 Series Completed: 16/21 Books Read

I actually left a few series with only one book left! Oh well...hopefully I'll do better next year. :)

[Charlotte (Buried in Books)]

I have that with a couple of my series from this year. Maybe I'll try and tidy up in January.

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

I read 16/23 books, and the way I look at it is - that is 16 more books I've gotten off the tbr pile. Don't sweat the 7 books that will carry over to the sequel!

[Suzanne]

Well, I'm throwing in the towel! I finished 7 series, so I made it past the 5 mark!

http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/7...

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

Suzanne, 7 series is fantastic!!

[Charlotte (Buried in Books)]

I agree Sandra, 7 is great Suzanne!!!

[Belinda]

Didn't end up too badly for the year. Just the Cassie planet series and a couple of singles that didn't get read - they go straight onto the list for this year :)

[Charlotte (Buried in Books)]

OK, so as far as I can tell, we have one finisher - Well Done Ashley.

I hope everyone had fun and will try again this year.

[Christal]

Well, I didn't do too bad. I actually only have one book left unfinished and I'm going to try and get to it this week. Here's to being even more successful next year!
