To Be Continued...

Every since I can remember I've always loved reading series. There's just something about reading a book and knowing there's more and more to continue with. Back in elementary school it was The American Girl Books then The Baby-Sitter Club books. Middle school was when I fell in love with the Betsy-Tacy series. In high school I used to love the Fearless series. And while I may not have done a ton of reading in college, I was in my college bookstore at midnight for the release of Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince.

As I've gotten more into book blogging, I seem to read less and less series. Or more correctly, finish less and less. I still love reading them, I just don't have the time to finish them all. So I thought it would be fun to list out all the series I'm currently in the middle of, in hopes that it will inspire me to finish more of them.

I've decided to define a series as more than 2 books, so while there may be a book or two where I haven't read its sequel, it won't be listed here. I've also only listed series where the books I haven't read are currently published, which means The Mortal Instruments and Mara Dyer won't be here since I'm all caught up with what's available. This does get a little tricky at times since there are series that are expect to be more than 2, except only 2 are currently published, but based on my official rules, those aren't listed (which excludes Splintered and The Boleyn Trilogy).

I'm only listed books I've read in the past 7 years, since I can track that with goodreads. That does means The Giver Quartet won't be here (I read the first 2 in college, but not the most recent two) nor will The Wizard of Oz (I read the first 5 or 6 in college, but still have about 10 or so I haven't read). And finally, I won't be listing series where I have no intention of reading the rest (mainly having to do with romance series, but if it's a book I hated, I likely won't be continuing). So with that introduction, here are the series I'm currently in the middle of...

Any recommendations on which series I should work towards finishing first? And how do you track the series you're reading? I have actually heard good things about FictFact, but I've yet to actually try it out. Although I'm not sure I need another website to keep track off!
