Hello bookworms!!
I did this post in 2019 and in 2020 and I am back to share my progress in 2021. In 2020 I had 67 series that I had started and wanted to continue on with. My goal for 2021 was to continue on with some series and finish some as well. I did do this but I also started so many more series so I feel like I am getting nowhere. I now have 94 series that I want to continue. Is anybody else as bad as me at continuing on with series? Because I have so many I’m not going to be including pictures because that would take forever. Instead, I am just going to be making a list of each of the series with how many books are in the series and how many I have read. I will also let you know which ones I have completed and which ones I have made some progress on this year. I am getting these numbers from Goodreads so the number of books in each series might not be 100% accurate and I am for the most part including novellas as well so here we go.

Wow that was a lot of work. This post always takes me a while because I have to go through each series on Goodreads to figure out how many books are in the series and that could still be wrong. I mostly did this post for myself, but I hope you still enjoyed reading it. Have you read any of these series? Do you have as many ongoing series as I do?
Wowza! I may not have as many series on my list to continue, but I have had to learn not to commit unless I want to finish a series in one big push. It’s different for everybody, but that’s how I take on series for the most part. I pretty much avoid them otherwise.

Oh this is with leaving some off that I don’t want to continue with lol. I apparently just enjoy all the series 😂

Oh Jesus lol! Holy moly are you busy! There is continuity with a good series that a standalone can’t give you, so I get where you’re coming from.

I need to continue Sherlock Holmes and Anne of green gables. This is good way to keep log for series.

I really enjoyed the first book in the Sherlock Holmes series I don’t know why I haven’t continued with it. I only have one book left in the Anne of Green Gables series hopefully I can read it this year.

I have so many series to finish, I probably couldn’t think of them all. I do hope to work on a few of them this year though.

I took me a while to go through all of them a couple years ago and I’ve been trying to keep up with them as I start new ones. I’m hoping to get through some of mine this year as well!! 🤞🏼

I’m right there with you, Misty! I have a crazy number of series to finish, too. I started a list on New Year’s Eve and hit 121 before giving up for the night, and I don’t think I was even close to getting through my whole list. I set some goals this year to help me get through some of them. We’ll see.

If I had every series I’ve ever started I would probably be over 100 but there were some I just knew I wouldn’t continue on with so I didn’t include them on my list. I’m hoping to get through some this year and hopefully not start a whole lot more but I don’t see that last part actually happening lol.
