Katee, you've got a lot of series there. Have you thought about joining the Midyear Challenge: Finish Those Series'!? The whole concept is to finish reading series' we've started previously, or series' you want to start and finish before the new year. Just post a list in the thread if you'd like to join the challenge and I'll add you to the participant list. :)

Yeah, I've thought about joining that one. I didn't know until today, when I was typing out all the books I'd read this year, that I would have so many series. So, yes, I'll probably join.
