Reading Challenge: Finishing the Series Reading Challenges 2024

I wasn't going to.  I was going to just read books as they come to me this year and not set any specific goals.  Especially since I was overly ambition with last year's Finishing the Series challenge.  But I can't resist.

Once again, I am signing up for the Finishing the Series reading challenge.  

When I was first thinking about it, I decided I was just going to do the two series I didn't complete in 2023.  But I've already added one more I am going to go for.  But that's it.  Honest!  I mean it!  This means I am going for the C level, which is to finish 1-4 series.

We'll see how long that lasts.

Anyway, here are the series I am going to finish up in 2024.  The number next to the book name is the place in the series.

January 11th Update - Well, I'm doing it again.  I'm adding three more series to the list, which means I will be hitting the B level.  Granted, one of them is only one book and I was planning to read it in the next couple of months.  Hopefully, I'm not going to regret this later.


Frankie Chandler Mysteries by Jacqueline Vick

Jack Prester Mysteries by Sandy Dengler

Louis Faulk Mysteries by Liz Freeland

Madame Karitska by Dorothy Gilman

Madison Night Mysteries by Diane Vallere

Peach Coast Library Mysteries by Olivia Matthews

Quilting Mysteries by Mary Marks

Secret Staircase Mysteries by Gigi Pandian

Reading Challenge: Audiobook Challenge 2024


I will be signing up for the Audiobook Challenge again in 2024.  This year, it is again hosted by  Caffeinated Book Reviewer and That's What I'm Talking About.

Again this year, I'll be signing up for the Stenographer level, which is 10-15 books.  My own sub-challenge is to listen to one a month.  In 2023, I actually got 13 listened to.  We'll see if I match that or not.

On a related not, I'm a moderator in the Audiobook Junkies group on Goodreads.  I hadn't realized someone made me the moderator until a few months ago.  It's not a very active group, but some people do use it to track their reads for this challenge.  We'd love to have you if you want to do that.  Additionally, if you want to join, I'm looking for some fresh ideas for the coming year.

I'll post the books below as I finish them.

1. The Burning Room by Michael Connelly
2. Yankee Doodle Dead by Carolyn Hart
3. The Fly on the Wall by Tony Hillerman
4. The Ducal Detective by Sarah E. Burr
5. The Crossing by Michael Connelly
6. White Elephant Dead by Carolyn Hart
7. A Feast Most Foul by Sarah E. Burr
8. Dance Hall of the Dead by Tony Hillerman
9. The Wrong Side of Goodbye by Michael Connelly
10. One Wrong Word by Hank Phillippi Ryan
11. Sugarplum Dead by Carolyn Hart
12. A Voyage of Vengeance by Sarah E. Burr
13.  Listening Woman by Tony Hillerman
14. The Late Show by Michael Connelly
16. A Summit in Shadow by Sarah E. Burr

Reading Challenge: European Reading Challenge 2024


I'm going to sign up again for the European Reading Challenge in 2024.

This one has levels, but it involves signing up to the number of countries we think we will visit.  This makes it a little tricker since I read several books set in England each year, but I can only count them once.

I'm going to set my goal to 3 Star this year, which is visiting three different countries (or reading books by authors from three different countries).  Hopefully, I'll get a few more than that in, but we'll see how things go.

I'll list the books below as I finish them.

1. The Case of the Canterfell Codicil by PJ Fitzsimmons (England)
2. Secrets of a Scottish Isle by Erica Ruth Neubauer (Scotland)
3. A Murder Most French by Colleen Cambridge (France)
3.1. The Paris Mistress by Mally Becker (France again)
4. Murder on the Med by Nancy Cole Silverman (Italy)
