APRIL 2017 Finish What You've Started (Series) Challenge:
Please post your shelves. NO COMMENTS in this thread please. After I post the pair, it will add a link to the shelf, and then you can add discussion comments.
How It Will Work:
1) Please only post a list of 5 series that you have Already Started but now, you would like to get current on. There must be a minimum of TWO books remaining in your series.
*When listing your series, please only list the bookcovers in the series you have NOT read yet.
**Novellas are optional.
NEW TWIST is your picker can choose to pick two series for you instead of one. This is because sometimes people read one book and decide they really didn't enjoy the series after all.
Option B gives you the chance to read One Book from Two series, instead of two books form one series.
It is the Picker's option!!
2) OPTION A: An assigned person will pick ONE series from your post series.

I am going with option A and picking the series Beyond , you have a short book to start with then right into a regular series book.

Since you only have 2 books left in each of your series, I'll go with option A so you can complete a series.
My pick is: Experiment in Terror
That title seems interesting.

Thank you I'm actually starting to make some progress on this series this year.
