Top 5 Tuesday is a weekly meme created by Bionic Bookworm, now hosted by Meeghan Reads. If you’re interested in participating, check out their blog to get the details and the prompts for each week!
This week’s topic is series that you’ll finish this year. I joined the Series I Want to Finish Challenge last year and caught up on 9 series, so joined again this year. I have already caught up on one (D.I. Kim Stone by Angela Marsons) this month, so let’s see what other ones I want to catch up on.
True Colors by various authors (Historical Fiction Stories of True American Crime, Christian): #7 Black Midnight, #9 The Gold Digger, #10 The Purple Nightgown, #11 The Silver Shadow, #12 The Scarlet Pen ( 5 to go)
Mattie Winston Mysteries by Annelise Ryan (Cozy Mystery with protagonist Mattie Winston, a nurse turned deputy coroner, in the fictional small town of Sorenson, Wisconsin): #6 Stiff Penalty, #8 Dead in The Water, #9 Dead Calm, #10 Dead of Winter, #11 Dead Ringer, #12 Dead Even (6 to go)
DI Helen Grace by M.J. Arlidge (Crime Thrillers: Helen Grace, a detective inspector in the south of England): #4 Liar, Liar, #5 Little Boy Blue, #6 Hide and Seek, #7 Love Me Not, #8 Down To The Woods, #9 All Fall Down, #10 Truth or Dare, #11 Cat and Mouse (8 to go)
Rescue Me by Debbie Burns (Romance set in a small town, all books involve rescue animals): #2 Sit, Stay, Love, #5 Head Over Paws, #6 To Be Loved By You (3 to go)
A Life Without by Marci Bolden (Women’s Fiction, Romance, Family, Drama): #2 A Life Without Flowers #3 A Life Without Regrets (2 to go)
There you have it, 5 series (24 books) that I want to catch up on and finish this year. Have you read any of these series? Do you have a series you want to catch up on this year?

Thanks Dedra. I will start with these five and if I finish them, I will add more. Most are NG books that have been sitting on my shelves.

Go hard Carla! I have only one series I want to finish this year: Elly Griffiths Ruth Galloway series which I am reading from beginning to end, including rereading the few books I have already read. There are currently 18 books in this series, and I have finished the first three. So fifteen more to go. Happy reading my friend. ❤📚

You will do it, Sandy. I finally finished Kim Stone, a few weeks late, but if I can read 13 books in a series, you can read 15. 😁

I have a lot of series I want to catch up on. I’m sure you’ve see my series post already so you know how out of control that list is lol. I’ve already decided to DNF 2 series this year and finished another so small progress but it’s progress. Good luck with finishing all of these I hope you enjoy them.

I have so many to finish as well Misty. Some I am able to binge read, but not all. Of course, if we didn’t keep adding new ones, we would do better. 😂📚💖

I’m the same. Some I can binge read easily but I continue to put them off for some reason lol. That’s so true!!! Out of the 12 books I read in January 7 of them were part of series. Well 8 but that one actually had me finishing a series. 😂

I think Annelise Ryan’s books are so good. That is a noble goal, and I have no doubt that you will accomplish it in 2023.

I haven’t read any of these series, but good luck finishing them! I stopped reading true series (where you have to read them in order and there’s cliff hangers and whatnot), but I adore companions.

That is one thing I love about the True Colors series as I can read it in any order, but that is the only one. I do not like series with cliff hangers at all!!
