Hi there. This is my first time participating. I just joined the group last month. :)

Severina's November Finish What You Started List

Demon Cycle Series (Books 2 to 5)


Mortal Engines Series (Books 1 to 4 -- I want to start this one, hope this counts)


Seasons of Man Series (Book 2)


The Fortune Chronicles (Books 2 and 3)


Surviving the Evacuation Series (Books 2 to 18)


I picked the Once Upon a Wedding and the Anita Blake series for LaurLa

Oleander picked Seasons of Man and the Fortune Chronicles for me.

Update:

I read Read What You Sow, the second (and most recent) book in the Seasons of Man series. It became a lot more techno-babble filled in this one, and the plot was essentially a retread of the first book, just with more character POVs. The third book isn't out yet, but I'm not sure if I'll continue with the series.

As far as the Fortune Chronicles, it seems like the author has written multiple different series (well, at least 2) set on the same world. So, one of the books I listed actually belongs to the *other* series. The one that IS part of the series I had started is just not available except as an audiobook (which I am not fond of.) So I will just have to give up on that one.

Hope you enjoy!

Thanks, Trina!

HI CONNIE!! Sorry I got distracted last night and forgot to post!! Hope you enjoy these!

Thanks!! I do need to push onward in both of those!

Oleander, sorry I'm late! For you I'm picking Chance Sisters and Hidden Legacy. Happy reading!

Awesome, LaurLa! Love your picks and look forward to them both.

no worries and great choices, Connie! Thank you!

Gabriella - Sorry for the delay. I'm completely new to this!

So for your last of the series, I'd like to pick The Way of the Househusband. I've read these myself and enjoyed them.

The 2nd series, I'm choosing, Alien Arkansas. This looks like such a fund series. I think I'm going to have to add it to my TBR list.

No worries Simplekind :D thank you for the picks!

I am going to enjoy finishing off the different series and really needed a push to get back into Alien Arkansas. It is a fun series that does a cross over with Kristen Painters Nocturne Falls (How i found it) :) so I hope you enjoy it as well.

This was a busy month, so I was only able to read one book from my choices, but I really enjoyed it! Thanks, LaurLa for the picks.

LaurLa picked for me:

Sanctuary Island - Lily Everett


Born to be Wilde - Jannine Gallant

Wilde Side by Jannine Gallant - 11/29/21 ♥♥♥♥
