Julie’s 2014 Series Challenge
I certainly have quite a few series to complete! My soon-to-be-read shelf is full of them.
I’m going to attempt to get a Silver Badge (4-6 series) but I’m not going to likely go for the 15-book series.
Here’s a list of some series that I have started but have yet to finish, and I may consider for this challenge.
- Delirium Trilogy by Lauren Oliver (I read books 1 and 2, own the 3rd, Requiem, but haven’t read it)
- As the World Dies by Rhiannon Frater (Trilogy, I’ve read book 1 and the novellas)
- Medusa Girls by Tera Lynn Childs (I own all 3 but haven’t read them)
- Katerina series by Robin Bridges (I own the first 2 books, the first is The Gathering Storm)
- Unbound by Rachel Vincent (I own all 3 but only read the first so far)
- Unearthly by Cynthia Hand (I own all 3 but have only read the first one so far)
- Under the Never Sky by Veronica Rossi (I own the first two)
- Shatter Me series by Tahereh Mafi (I’ve read the first and loved it, own the first novella and second book)
- False Memory series by Dan Krokos (I own the first two books)
- Slammed by Colleen Hoover (I own all 3 books)
- Imdalind by Rebecca Ethington (I own books 2 and 2)
- Time Between Us by Tammara Ireland Stone (I own books 1 and 2)
- Birthmarked by Caragh O’Brien (I’ve read the first two books and novellas, I own the final book but haven’t read it yet)
OK so that’s just a list of some of my series that I already *own* and haven’t finished, so I have a bit to choose from.
Is this contest still open? I think this is the main solution to my series problems. Ever since I started blogging, it’s like I’ve been hopping from series to series without finishing a lot of them. And it’s kind of making me restless because I just want to finish them all.
I don’t have any problems finishing awesome series but my problem lies with those whose prequels only got 3 stars. I am not driven to read them anymore. I always find an excuse to keep on procrastinating on them.
I hope I can still join and good luck, Julie!

Oh yea you can sign up any time, I think even if you decide to join mid year. She didn’t have the sign ups close last time I asked.
I have problems with this as well, I usually drop series after the first book because the wait is too long or I lose interest. Sounds like a good challenge to combat that! I need to start the Delirium trilogy!

Yes, like you said, the next book takes so long to come out that I’ve moved on to the next thing on my list. I find that there are soo many books to read, that I keep buying next in a series, but not getting to it.
Are you going to sign up?
Good Luck!! I think I should definitely also sign up for this.. My unfinished series list is just sad 🙁 There are a few on your list I would like to start too 🙂
Good luck and happy reading!
