Finally in 2022: Series Edition

 

I've written before here on the blog about how many unread books I have on my shelves, but one aspect of this that I haven't talked about much is the amount of unread series I own. When I come across a new series that sounds interesting, I usually buy all the books in it right away. My reasoning is that if I have all the books in the series, I can just read them straight through. What ends up happening in reality, however, is that I never end up even starting the series because I don't want to obligate myself to reading 3-4 books in a row when I have other challenges going on. It's a never-ending (and very silly) cycle.

I've decided that it's time to break that cycle and start actually reading some of these books, so I'm bringing back my Finally Challenge this year. I first did this back in 2019, and I ended up reading 49 books from my shelves. This time around, I'm going to make it all about reading the series I own. Here are the books I have chosen to try and finish this year:
