Series Check In & New Goals _ Q3 2024

**Reading Goals and Series Wrap-Ups**

As we dive into quarter 4, many readers are looking to wrap up some ongoing series and tackle new ones. In this article, we'll take a look at some reading goals and series wrap-ups from various sources.

Firstly, let's talk about someone who is trying to get back on track with their reading list. "I also want to finish the ending Fire series by Sarah J. Maas," they mentioned. "Currently, I have holds up my library for the audiobook and the ebook deciding which one I want to read on uh so once those come in I'll be reading that and that'll be the last book in the is it just the ending Fire series I think it's the ending Fire series I think so yeah I'll be reading book three for that then I want to finish the live ship Trader series by Robin Hobb so I'll be finishing with the ship of Destiny." This reader is looking forward to wrapping up the ending Fire series and moving on to the live ship Trader series.

Another reader who wants to tackle some larger books has expressed their concerns about getting through the Stormlight Archives. "So, I started this series earlier this year and I do want to finish it also this year because I the book and that would be reading ruthless vows so whatever it's like letters of something is the name of the series but I want to finish this duy up as well lots of duologies it seems like and then I do want to continue on with a few other Series so I will continue on with the expanse I currently I'm listening to these on audio more than the physical copies so it should be easier to get through some of these because of it being on audio so I have the audiobook also on hold in my library so when that comes in I'll continue with this and I also want to continue with The Stormlight Archives those books are chunkers but I also read those on audio so far that's really going well for me so I would like to read oathbringer at some point before the end of the year as well."

In addition to wrapping up series, many readers have expressed a desire to reread some favorite books. "Then there are 10 books that have or maybe eight that have been on my shelf since like 2021 that I want to get read and the second book on this series is one of those so it's like I just want to continue with the series and then I have some stretch goals which I'm not sure are going to happen but I would love to complete the first sister series by Lyndon a Lewis I just need to read the final book I just have not been able to find it at a bookstore when I've gone in and I decided I'm not going to buy it unless I encounter it in the wild so I will finish that if it gets to my shelf before the end of the year also the burning kingdoms by Tasha surri uh the final book um I think it's called The Burning Kingdom no final book is I forget what the final book is called uh but that book is coming out oh Lotus something Lotus um that book is coming out in like November so I'm like it's really kind of cutting it close to add a new book and then finish it before the end of the year much more likely that'll happen beginning of the year like I'll ask for it for Christmas or something."

Finally, some readers have set stretch goals for themselves, aiming to complete multiple series before the end of the year. "Yeah, lots of chunkers on there I don't know we'll see so comment down below let me know your quarter 4 Series goals or just your series goals or any goals reading goals you have before the end of the year thank you all for watching and I'll see you guys soon bye"

By wrapping up ongoing series and setting new goals, readers can stay motivated and make progress on their reading lists. Whether it's finishing a beloved series or tackling a new one, there's something to be said for taking control of your reading schedule and making the most of the time you have to read.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enhey guys it's Sam and this is my quarter 3 update 4 series one of my big goals just in general is to finish a lot of series catch up on a lot of series kind of just be mindful of the series and what I'm reading so I've been doing check-ins quarterly to keep myself accountable and it being top of mind so I don't get to the end of the year and like oops which can very easily happen so in quarter three I finished two series yay and I've made some progress on a lot of other things as well so before I share my current stats I made just a couple of Chang es with like overall goals I moved the sixth World Series by Rebecca Ron horse to my on hold category that is because that is a series that is apparently just in limbo SL may never finish uh she has said that she's not going to continue it now that she's finished with her other series like I'm hopeful she will so I'm not just considering it like it's not dnfed I completed like caught up with what's written uh but I put that instead of ongoing series I put that into on hold so it's not affecting my numbers I also put the Crescent City or House of whatever the Crescent City series by Sarah jamas into on hold because I really don't have any inclination to continue with it but I'm not completely saying I'm never going to read it I'm just kind of like it's not really highly motivating to read right now so when that happens but where I'm not fully like no I'm done I put it into on hold again so it's not like messing up my numbers I did realize also right before filming this that I hadn't added a series like that I literally started last year to the list so I added the the wilderwood duy to the list because that wasn't on there so with those numbers in mind I've completed two Series this year so far I'm caught up on 12 and I have 27 unfinished so for finished series I completed the between Earth and Sky series by Rebecca RH horse I have a full series review on my channel so I'll link that on the screen if you want to check that out and I also finished the chilling Effect series by Valerie Valdez which was like a three star series for me I had some problems with it there was parts that were fun it's just fine then I continued with with four series that I already started I continued with the expand series reading book four I continue with the liveship trader series reading book two continue with The Stormlight Archive with Words of Radiance which is also the second book and continue with the queens of renthia series with the second book as well which is The Reluctant Queen I also started one new series but that's like a couple of my goals are in conflict because I want to finish up series and things right but then I also want to read the books that are on my shelf and I have first books and series on my shelf so I did start the faithful and the Fallen series by John Gwyn with Mal now I have a number of things that I do want to wrap up before the end of the year again this is in conflict with my TBR goals and at this point at the time of filming this I am more motivated to do the series stuff than the TBR stuff necessarily because I realized that uh the next Dragon Age game is coming out uh Halloween like end of October beginning of November and that's going to make my TBR goals challenging because all my spare time will be spent playing that so it feels more attainable to just like finish a lot of series because I have a lot of book series not a lot but like five maybe six five that I have one book in the series left and then it wraps it up so here's my quarter four goals I want to complete the queens of renthia Trilogy with the queen of Sorrows spoiler alert I already did this uh at the beginning of October in the first few days of October so I I finished this yesterday uh so this is happening but it is part of my quarter four goals because I didn't finish it before quarter 3 I was in the middle of the audio book when quarter three ended I just realized that I started another series too the encyclopedia fairies whatever uh Emily Wilds encyclopedia I don't have all the information right now because I just saw it over here that's another series that I started I just started it it's like one of the last books that I read so throws off my numbers a little bit oops that's how series can get away from you it's so easy all right I also want to finish the ending Fire series by Sarah alifi I currently have holds up my library for the audiobook and the ebook deciding which one I want to read on uh so once those come in I'll be reading that and that'll be the last book in the is it just the ending Fire series I think it's the ending Fire series I think so yeah I'll be reading book three for that then I want to finish the live ship Trader series by Robin hob so I'll be finishing with the ship of Destiny this is probably the most intimidating thing on this list because it's so large and these books do bog me down a little bit I have such conflicting feeling like I love them but they're also like so hard but I think this because this is a final book in a series this will be I'll be able to get through you know you know like maybe some of the suffering will end I think more suffering will happen and then maybe it will end I don't know these are tough but I I want to finish the live stre Traders before the end of the year I also want to finish the wilderwood duy with uh for the throne and I actually want to read this probably this month because I realized that this wasn't on my list and then that I already had the next book and it's like a fall book like these are very like Woods whatever kind of things so want to finish this soon then I started this series earlier this year and I do want to finish it also this year because I the book and that would be reading ruthless vows so whatever it's like letters of something is the name of the series but I want to finish this duy up as well lots of duologies it seems like and then I do want to continue on with a few other Series so I will continue on with the expanse I currently I'm listening to these on audio more than the physical copies so it should be easier to get through some of these because of it being on audio so I have the audiobook also on hold in my library so when that comes in I'll continue with this and I also want to continue with The Stormlight Archives those books are chunkers but I also read those on audio so far that's really going well for me so I would like to read oathbringer at some point before the end of the year as well then I want to reread to like the Lightning by aah Palmer which I read like probably like five years ago at this point and then I have the second book on my shelf which is part of my TBR so I want to get that read and this is one of my like for sure TBR books I have like so many categories of goals but like if I'm not going to finish all the books my TBR before the end of the year which is kind of like a stretch might not happen then there are 10 books that have or maybe eight that have been on my shelf since like 2021 that I want to get read and the second book on this series is one of those so it's like I just want to continue with the series and then I have some stretch goals which I'm not sure are going to happen but I would love to complete the first sister series by Lyndon a Lewis I just need to read the final book I just have not been able to find it at a bookstore when I've gone in and I decided I'm not going to buy it unless I encounter it in the wild so I will finish that if it gets to my shelf before the end of the year also the burning kingdoms by Tasha surri uh the final book um I think it's called The Burning Kingdom no final book is I forget what the final book is called uh but that book is coming out oh Lotus something Lotus um that book is coming out in like November so I'm like it's really kind of cutting it close to add a new book and then finish it before the end of the year much more likely that'll happen beginning of the year like I'll ask for it for Christmas or something but stretch goals because then that would if I did that I would finish up two
