Great roundup! I have the opposite problem- each time I start a series I like, I have to read through to the end (if published) regardless of what else is on my tbr

Thank you! I wish I was more like this and binged series all the way through more

I'm the same way, even if the series are older, I binge read every series I like. I'm a total mood reader.

You did great finishing series this year! I finished a few but not as many as I wanted lol

Thank you Jessi! I feel like there is always the desire to finish more series but it's such a challenge sometimes

Its not often I find a booktuber with similar taste. From grim dark, Sanderson, to Mass. Im so glad I found you today. 🌌

Thank you!! Yeah I do like variety in my fantasy 💜

10:21 - I just finished Hunger of the Gods...Fury? Of the Gods I am SO excited for (I was pondering Rage or Revenge, Gluttony I liked but too close to hunger) It was so nice being back in a Gwynne Saga! The journeys and arcs are brewing it is so satisfying and has he broken our hearts or is there hope? 😱😭😱😭😱😭🥺😣💜📚

I was thinking Fury too! I know it always feel so traumatically enjoyable being back in a Gwynne book

I've done so awful at completing series these past few years. 2024 will be my year 😅

Fingers crossed!! 3/4 is still a move in the right direction 😊

I had Oleander Sword planned too and then pushed it off until 2024 for closer bingeing. And am also feeling the same post-Oathbringer burnout so I’m leaving Rhythm of War for the second half of next year.

Yeah as soon as I saw the third book wasn't coming out until 2024 I immediately pushed back the Oleander Sword

I don’t have a lot of series on the go but I’m still so bad with them. I have series I started in 2018 so it’s a problem 😂😭 here’s hoping 2024 is a good year for finishing series!

Oh same!! And because 2018 is no so long ago I feel like I need to reread those series from the beginning otherwise I am completely lost 😂

I usually wait for a series to be complete to binge the series. From what comes to mind, I do have 3 series I need to get back to. Shadows of the Apt by Adrian Tchaikovsky, Rememberence of Earth's Past by Cixin Liu and Realm of the Elderlings. To be fair with RotE, I binged the first 3 trilogies years ago when the 9th book came out. Then she added Rainwilds and Fitz & the Fool later. I have reread the first trilogy so many times over the years with every intention of continuing on, but I still haven't. I did reread Farseer in 2021 and will try to get to Liveship in 2024 but 2024 is so jam-packed for me between rereading Cosmere and Tad Williams Osten Ard series since we are getting Stormlight 5 next Dec and the final Osten Ard book by Williams next Nov. Whew! Good thing I don't have much of a social life. Lol

That is always the aim to wait until a series is complete but then some spontaneous side of brain goes rogue and doesn't follow the rules 😂 I wish I could be more like you and wait to do the binge. Good luck with those chunky fantasy series!

Dang, I feel you on all those series where you are just waiting for them to be finished before doing a reread to continue them, lol. I am a serial series starter and it's not good for the series stats 🤣You did so good in knocking out some of these finales though, give yourself a pat on the back!! 😉🥰

Some of them have been sitting on my ongoing series list for so long as I've been waiting for the series to be complete!! Thank you and hopefully a good few more will be knocked out this year

Im just now starting the first law trilogy. I didn't buy Bone Shard War, the 3rd. I barely made it through book 2. I read the first Mistborn trilogy, I read all of the Dresden Files books by Jim Butcher, along with about catching up on 22 ongoing series. You did a great job.

That sounds like you made some amazing progress! I haven't read the Dresden books but that's a lot of books to read in a year on their own! Thank you 💜

24 is really good. I think I’m closer to 45 sigh. 😂

Great video ! I'm trying to keep tract of my on going serie but I am bad at it. My approximarive count is of 14 on going series. 4 of them I have only 1 book left. 3 of them are on pause from now on because I'm waiting for more books to come out before reading them (but I am not up to date). 3 of them I should DnF but I am still on the fence about it. As for on going serie that i'm caught up on, I think I have only 2 or 3 if you count duologies. Which I don't.

I have mine in a spreadsheet. I then move them around easily when I finish them or DNF them. 14 sounds like a very reasonable number! I dream of getting down there.

Great video! ❤ I definitely have a lot of unfinished series 😅🙈 For some reason I'm bad at finishing series. I always get distracted by the new shiny ones or get burned out after a chunky book.

It is so much easier to start all the series than to finish them!! Those new shiny first books are always so tempting!
