SOS: Serious Overload of Series discussion

With 2015 mere hours away, time to set up a new list to track my adventures for the year.

Reading goals for the upcoming year:
*participate in the Goodreads 2015 challenge (this is more of a fun way to track how many books I actually read than a goal that I strive to achive.)
*re-read some favorite series.
*focus on new titles that I already own.

Series to re-read/catch up to current
You know, just in case I need an idea for what to start next... :-)

*indicates a re-read (current, no new releases impending)
+indicates catch-up (unread books to get to current)
both indicates re-reading some or all of the series to get to the new titles

This was fun to read through! And gave me good ideas for my own things to track. :)

The alphabets are getting close!

By author's first name - 7 left
By author's last name - 6 left
By title - 7 left
By series - 6 left

Only a couple of the possibles will do double duty - and there are still plenty of other books that I'll want to read as soon as they release, or finally come in at the library. But I think it is doable. :-)

That's great! And you have plenty of time to finish--still four months yet!

FINALLY! An F last name title that I'm looking forward to reading. That will ease the taste of the Z title I'm currently on - which is rather so awful it is entertaining.

Remaining in my alphabets -
Author Last Name: F, I, X, Z
Author First Name: O, Q, U, V, X, Y
Title: N, Q, U, Z
Series: K, T, U, V

Audiobooks

Completed=11
The Odds of Getting Even
Armada
Etiquette & Espionage
Curtsies & Conspiracies
Waistcoats & Weaponry
Agatha Christie: An Autobiography
The Mysterious Affair at Styles
Clariel
The Wonderful Wizard of Oz
Murder on the Orient Elite
Alanna: The First Adventure
In the Hand of the Goddess
The Woman Who Rides Like a Man

In Progress=2
A Darker Shade of Magic
Lioness Rampant

Getting closer on the alphabets! Still not making myself read something just for the letter, unless it actually feels like what I want to be reading at the moment.

Title - DONE!
Author Name (if I combine first & last) - DONE!
**First Name - O, Q, U, X, Y
**Last Name - I, X
Series - U, V

What have I learned this year? That comments in a discussion forum aren't the best means for tracking long lists of things. The genre breakdown lists have rather broken down given a longer list of books as the year goes on- if I have an unoccupied afternoon I might try to catch up on them. The lists of monthly reads have worked well, so I'll keep those up. Perhaps I'll try tracking genre breakdowns and such in those monthly comments, rather than on a yearly basis.
