Fantasy Buddy Reads discussion

I think a common lament we all have is that we all have so many series we're in the middle of but haven't finished. A fun little thread to help us get caught up. :)

Lord of the Rings
Wheel of Time
First Law (Trilogy is done not standalones)
Cinder Spires (well ya only book one is out, LOL)
Stormlight Archives (2 for 2)
Hunger Games
Divergent
Riyeria Revelations
Gentleman Bastards (3 for 3)
Dark Materials (Phillip Pullman)
Harry Potter
Lives of the Mayfair Witches (Ann Rice)
Mistborn (First Era)
Unhewn Throne (will be done in Sept with group read)
Legends of the first Empire (Riyeria pre-prequel 1 for 1)

I actually feel better realizing how many I am done or caught up with.

Lord of the rings 3 for 3
Riyeria Revelations 6 for 6
The First Law 3 for 3
The Dark Elf Trilogy 2 for 3
The Broken Empire 3 for 3
The vampire Chronicles 11 for 11

The order of the Sanguines 3 for 3
Dune 6 for 8 (not counting the prequels)
Leviathan wakes ( half way through the first)

The Demon Cycle ( Starting September)
Riyeria Revelations ( starting October)

Probably theres a couple more I cant think of at the moment:)

Commonwealth Saga (duology only, P. Hamilton - only 2 books, but huge!)
Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
Dirk Gently (just 2 books)
Chronicles of Narnia
A Series of Unfortunate Events
Hunger Games

That's quite the list Chris!

I'm old. Lol

You only have three months on me.

Omg Chris! You are the book knowledge!
I am embarrassing. I think I can honestly only list Harry Potter.
All the rest is in bits and pieces - I need to get a grip and stop reading every first book of every book I see. And if I think of my TBR I will be even further from adding a book here.

The Kingkiller Chronicle (2 for 2 plus novella)
The Lord of the Rings
Gentleman Bastard (3 for 3)
The First Law (plus standalones)
Shattered Sea
Chronicle of the Unhewn Throne (2 for 3, starting third in September)
Elric of Melniboné
Bloodsounder's Arc
The Riyria Revelations (soon to be finished)
Six of Crows (awaiting book 2)
The Song of the Shattered Sands (awaiting book 2)
Sorcery Ascendant Sequence (1 for 3 plus novella)

I didn't realize that I had read so many YA fantasies.

That's a huge list!

I think you have me beat. I used to be really good at reading series straight through but Goodreads and r/fantasy on Reddit have ruined me. Trying to get back to it now.

That is an impressive list .

Scott wrote: "That is an impressive list ."

Thanks. Got about 30 series that I'm not up to date on which isn't as bad as I thought.
