Wow, Melissa and Barb, I'm impressed with all your series reading!

I have one more book 4 and a book 5 that I hoped to get to this month, but the end of the month is coming up way too quickly!

I know what you mean, Barb. I have #1, 2, 4 but am not sure if I can get to a #3 in time.

Thanks, Sharon. It sure did!

Thanks Connie ~ trying to get more series books read before the end of the year :D

I'm calling mine done as well.
I managed to read 14 books in all, a few that were stragglers in series so I felt good about getting them off the TBR

Well done Joann. Strangely I seem to have already awarded you your badge for this challenge, so if I've missed giving you a badge for a different challenge please let me know!

Well done Joann. Strangely I se..."

I checked and there isn't one for this....maybe you're confusing with 1 - 2- 3???

Lol. Yep, you're right. I was. Will go and post it now :)

Done. Sorry about that, it's just been one of those days!

I finished tonight. Even though I don't read a lot of series books these days, I ended up knocking out four higher-in-series titles, 8-11.
