2016 Series Challenge: Starting Line

 My goal last year was to finish 15 series and I hit 7. I honestly am not too upset about it because I didn't read near as many books as I wanted to and I really focused on series books. I only started 6 new series in 2015, so that helped. I am hoping to meet the goal of completing 15 series and surpass it in 2016. The following is my "starting line" for the series challenge for the year - there is no official host anymore, so I'm just doing this on my own. I will update in the beginning of April, July, October, and then my finish line post will be in Jan 2017.

I highlighted all the to-be-released books in purple. I am currently reading two books on this list and will try to keep it pretty well updated throughout the next three months.
