Back by popular demand! This challenge encourages you to dive into and make progress on all those wonderful series out there, just waiting for your attention and time. You can read them all for this challenge: long series, short series, companion books, and novellas!
The only rule is that a qualifying book must be described by Goodreads as part of a series.
You don’t need to read the whole series at once. Feel free to finish a series or two that you began in 2020 or earlier, try out the first book in several series, or just enjoy that long-awaited sequel!
How to Participate:
1. Post in this thread to inform the challenge leader that you'd like to join the challenge. You can choose your books for the challenge at the beginning, or add them as you go. You can join a challenge at any time, as long as the challenge is still active. You must choose a goal for the challenge.
Filling in the blanks below might help you guesstimate your challenge goal:
I will start __ series this year. (# books)
I will finish __ series I have started before this year. (# books)
I will read __ series from start to finish this year. (# books)
I will read __ books that are part of a series. (# books)

2. Post in this thread to let the challenge leader know so they can update your progress. Please be sure to post the number of books you have completed and the number of your original (sign-up) message every time you post an update.
The challenge leader is not able to keep track of your total number of books for you because of the number of participants in the challenge. The number of the original post is used to identify you, as there can be many members with the same name. The challenge leader will not look at this post to track your progress.
Example:

For more information about how challenges work, check out this thread or ask your challenge leader.
Important: Please do not delete posts! It makes updating very confusing for the challenge leader and other participants. If you decide to leave the challenge, please just let us know. You can edit your original post to say {redacted}. Thank you!
Let’s have a fantastic reading journey together in 2021!
