RMFAO (Reading My Frigging A** Off) discussion

We all start reading series but quite a lot of times we are not able to finish those series. This challenge will give you an opportunity to complete those series. You can start with a fresh series as well (but it'll be counted only if you finish them.)

There are absolutely no rules for this challenge. All you have to do is complete as many series as you can.

We can use this discussion board to discuss the series we are planning to read.

Here's the logo for this challenge:

I'll be completing the following series:
Vampire Academy
The Broken Empire Series
The Great Dune Trilogy
Miss Marple Series
The Cliffton Chronicles

I've been hearing about the Harry Hole series lately. I'm always on the lookout for new mystery series."

Unfortunately the one I read about Harry Hole is the last, so I have to forgotten all and restart with the first. But it's promising.

I'd really like to start the Harry Hole series myself. I loaded all the books onto my tablet over a year ago, but haven't started them yet.

That's great! I'm also planning to complete Dune series in Sci-Fi Month so that it can be counted in Series challenge as well :)

Wow! You're reading like a total Bookiopath... heheh ;)
Great going Dagny! I wish I could read at atleast half of your speed!

Anyways I'm reading The Thirty Nine Steps and it's very good so far :)

lol! I agree! It's awesome that we all keep each other motivated and going! :)

Oh yea, I totally liked it! I'm already beginning to feel that we need one more month for Mystery! heheh...

Are the other Richard Hannay books also available on Project Gutenberg?

Thanks a lot Dagny! You're the best :)

I'll read 'em all *crazy grin*

I downloaded them all... hehehe ;)

Thanks a lot Dagny!

I'm gonna complete Richard Hannay series for this challenge :)

That's great... I'm starting with Greenmantle now :)

I just began the next one, Mr. Standfast, and have seen references to Greenmantle.

Some other characters are showing up which ..."

That's good to know :)
I'm halfway Greenmantle and now I'm starting to enjoy it a lot :)
The starting part was a bit slow but the story has picked up a great pace now...
I'm really very thankful to you Dagny to introduce me to such a brilliant series :)

I'll also read it :)

I am enjoying Mr Standfast even more - the best so far and it starts off quickly."

I'm liking it so far! :D

Well, I didn't actually join this challenge at the start of the year, but I've completed three series so far this year:

1. LA Quartet by James Ellroy (all four books)
2. Ash Henderson series by Stuart McBride (two books)
3. Legion series by Brandon Sanderson (two audiobooks)

I'm also working my way through the seven-ish American Vampire and the nine Bone graphic novels. Do those count? ;)

I've started Mr. Standfast but I guess it'll be a while before I can get back to reading and completing it as I'm stuck with a lot of other books!

Though I'll be reading The Broken Empire and Divergent series (all 4 books) next month.

I'm reading Divergent. When I finished, I think I'll continue with the others.

Andrew wrote: "I'm reading Divergent. When I finished, I think I'll continue with the others."

Hey Andrew... even I'm reading this series! I'm reading Insurgent presently... and really enjoying it.

I'm reading Harry potter and The Prisoner Of Azkaban (HP#3) and Insurgent (Divergent #2)

Yesterday I finished Divergent and today I started Insurgent. The first book is interesting, with some good ideas and questions that capture the reader. I liked it and I hope to finish the entire series before the end of the month.

Hmmm... I started Insurgent but got busy with other reads... now again resuming it :)

I've just completed 2 books from the Penryn and The End Of The World trilogy.

This month I finished The Way of Kings and Words of Radiance, but the series is very far from complete: two books published and nine or ten expected.

I don't know. I've seen here a page for every book of this series, the third scheduled for 2016, but I don't know the real publication.

OMG! You guys have done an awesome job reading so many books. I don't even know if I've completed a series or not... I'll check out my list and come back later to update.

BTW, this challenge will be open for next year as well. :)
