Finish the Series! #1 + Why I'm So Bad at Finishing Series

So I'm sitting here, it's Sunday afternoon, and I am surrounded by books, deciding what to read next...

I decided on Bleach vol. 70 1st, then Fear Park, and then Fairest!
I may have read all of these by now, actually 😏

...when I realized that all of these books are part of a series I need to finish and that I am almost done with! In The Lunar Chronicles I just need to read Fairest, Winter, and one more story in Stars Above; in Bleach I only have 5 volumes left, and because it's a manga, they're a very fast read; and Fear Park is a trilogy so I just need to read the last two books in the series.

So why am I so bad at finishing series?! 😩

I've mentioned this A LOT around here, but one of the main reasons is because I'm a mood reader. My mood just changes all the time. But another reason, especially when it comes to The Lunar Chronicles and Bleach, is because I just don't want the series to end! 😩

But that needs to stop! Especially because I am SO behind on my Serial Reader Challenge!



I challenged myself to finish at least SEVEN series this year and I've literally only finished ONE so far! In the past I've done these Random Reads posts where I would randomly choose a series to finish, but that hasn't worked out that well for me, me being a mood reader and all. So I decided that I would just pick a couple of series I'm in the mood for every so often and then post about it to really cement in that commitment 😅

Soooo besides the three series I previously mentioned...



I also want to finish the following series sometime soon:



Because I'm currently reading The Lunar Chronicles, I'm still very much in the mood for sci-fi, and Avalon immediately came to mind! I remember really loving it when I first read it all those years ago, and it's only a duology so it should be a pretty quick read!

Oooh, Soul Screamers... I've been thinking about this series A LOT! There are 7 books in this series and I literally only have ONE book before I'm done with it! However, because it's been YEARS since I last read it, I'm gonna re-read the WHOLE thing, which I'm honestly excited for! I love this series!

The Cataluna Chronicles is another series I've been thinking about a lot lately... I've actually been wanting to read it since last year! Hopefully I will make that happen sometime soon!

And last is The Ghost and the Goth, another series where I only had one more book to read before I finished it. This series just kinda jumped out at me when I was looking through my list of series I need to finish. I remember loving it, so hopefully I'll get to this one too!

Hopefully I'll be able to get to these before my mood changes... again. Lol. But I will keep you updated!

Let me know if you struggle with finishing series too 😅 Are there any series in particular you'd like to finish sometime soon? Any series I've mentioned that you've read before? Let me know below!
