Well, this was an interesting endeavor. *sigh* I kinda sorta made progress, in a round about way. The problem is I can’t resist a good book, an intriguing character or an amazing author. I’d pick up a new book that was part of a new (or new to me) series and I’d add it to my list. Obviously this ‘oh look, bright and shiny book’ attitude got me no where. *heavier sigh* I ended up adding more and more books and not making any progress on the series that I originally started with. So, where does that leave me at the end of my 2013 Seriously Series Challenge? You can see my goals/progress on my original Seriously Series 2013 post, but here’s a quick summary:

So there you have it. It wasn’t a complete fail. I did finish at least one series, but that was it. That only put me at the Semi-Serious Level for Series Started in 2013. This is a new year, I learned my lesson and have narrowed down my choices for 2014. I still have over 20 series listed, but they are series that I have a commitment to, not just what I have on my shelf. You can check out my 2014 Seriously Series goals and see what I mean. Hopefully I can actually knock out more than one this year. 😉
