CHALLENGE: Series Challenge Update

This challenge ran from December 1, 2007 until May 31, 2008. I finished three series and read 4 books to continue a series. And 4 books to start new series'. That's not helping.

I believe that Kathrin is hosting Series Challenge Season II, from June 1 - December 1, 2008. I'm not sure why a challenge helps a person like me read a particular book, but it seems to give me a focus. I've got a whole blog full of series I'm keeping track of, so there are lots more to read, plus I keep starting new ones.
