Taking Heidi's idea, hope you don't mind, I think its time I finish the Rick Riordan's Greek mythology books. Since his new series, involving norse mythology, is coming out, I really want to finish Heroes of Olympus series.

I'm not sure yet if I will re-read the Percy Jackson series just to get into the whole world or just dive in right into The Last Hero

*The Heroes of Olympus*
The Lost Hero
The Son of Neptune
The Mark of Athena
The House of Hades
The Blood of Olympus

I just realized a lot of series is ending this year, so I kinda want to finish most of them. I hate waiting for books so I usually try to read them closer to when the series/trilogy ends.

Another one ending is the
*Lunar Chronicles*
Cinder
Scarlet
Cress
Winter
maybe I'll also read the novella Fairest

Of course I want to finish our beloved author, David Este's dweller series
*The Dwellers*
The Moon Dwellers
The Star Dwellers
The Sun Dwellers
I'm not sure yet if I want to start the country Saga this year, since I really want to finish other series I have started

There is also the cute Benny Imura series
*Benny Imura*
Rot and Ruin
Dust and Decay
Flesh and Bone
Fire & Ash

*The Monstrumologist*
The Monstrumologist
The Curse of the Wendigo
The Isle of Blood
The Final Descent

If I have more series that I need to finish I'll keep track of it here. Hopefully I can get through all this. There are a few series that I started that only have one book left for me to read. I won't make a list here for that.

Great idea Bluemmon! So excited for you to finish all those series. I loved them all except the Heroes - but that is only because I have never read it. I started his other series but it was a little too middle grade so did not continue. How are you liking the Heroes series??

Jenny (juliababyjen) | 1572 comments Great idea Bluemoon! I also have lots of series I need to finish, instead of starting new ones! Can't help it!

HEIDI: I just literally started the first one, but I did love the Percy Jackson series. I think that's why I'm so hesitant to read this series, because I love the PJ one a lot


*b*l*u*e*m*o*o*n* | 986 comments Mod
JENNY: I can't help starting new ones either, but I just have so many books on my shelf that I haven't read and most of them are books from series I have started. So by doing this challenge its like killing two birds with one stone.

Good idea! There are a lot of series I need to finish ... Good luck! ^_^ I've read all the Heroes of Olympus, Lunar Chronicles (except Winter, since it hasn't come out yet), Benny Imura, and Monstrumologist books and those are all great series. Hope you enjoy them!

My reading goals have seriously suffered this year!


*b*l*u*e*m*o*o*n* | 986 comments Mod
I think there is something in the air!


message 20: by Heidi (new)

Heidi | 6961 comments Mod
Could be. I hope the air clears soon :)


*b*l*u*e*m*o*o*n* | 986 comments Mod
hahahaha...Maybe the winter air will help!


*b*l*u*e*m*o*o*n* | 986 comments Mod
Making a new list of books in a series I want to finish this year. Most likely I'll also do this challenge next year since I have so many more series I want to finish. So here are the books:

The Blood of Olympus
Library of Souls
The Final Descent
Catacomb
Cress
Blood of My Blood
You Have to Stop This

Still need to be released...
Winter
Their Fractured Light

These are just a maybe...
Emerald Green
Champion

NBA season just started, so my reading will flounder, but the games keeping my butt in my bed usually leads to more writing :) You take the good, you take the bad, you take them both and then you have the facts of life!

I know I will get back into reading more at some point. Right now I barely read 25 pages and pass out! I used to read at least 100 pages a night. As with everything in life it fluxes back and forth.


*b*l*u*e*m*o*o*n* | 986 comments Mod
I have decided to give up on my series challenge for this year. I'm getting really busy with work, the holidays and my upcoming vacation. My reading has also been decreasing since I'm so tired with everything. I barely read anything last month and I have no will to pick up a book. Books that do interest me are books from new series.


I'm so sad cause I was so close to my goal! I really don't know how people can reach their 100+ book goal.

I was an epic fail with mine this year too Bluemoon. But there is always next year! I hope you have a great vacation btw.

I also don't think I'll be able to reach my goal. But hey, we all still read a bunch of books this year and that's great! :D


message 28: by Heidi (new)

Heidi | 6961 comments Mod
Woot woot Brigid!


*b*l*u*e*m*o*o*n* | 986 comments Mod
Yup, the most important part is that we read!!! ^_^ hahahaha...

Thanks, Heidi!
