Thanks to the GMGR Series Challenge, I managed to finish a bunch of trilogies in 2018, but I left a couple of series dangling. I'm going to let them carry over. And I'll have new ones to add.

Lockwood & Co. by Jonathan Stroud [finished 5 of 5] - COMPLETE!
Track Series by Jason Reynolds [finished 4 of 4] - COMPLETE!
Pillage by Obert Skye [finished 3 of 3] - COMPLETE!

8 books
read 1/2 a book (yep I know that's pretty bad)
in 2019 I've read 1/8
I have not read this series yet which is kind of weird but as a youngling, I have never thought of reading this even though I owned all the books. My friends have convinced me to start reading it but I've been reading other books and ignoring this for some odd reason. This will be great for me to help me get reading it.
Last year I only managed to get one series done in the end - but it was Shadows from the Past, which is a great series and might get another one added this, so I'll try to keep up with that. I was planning to do the Wrinkle in Time series, and even bought all the paperbacks (nice to have a matching set!), so I'll really got for that this year.
I also read a very good book Kiwi in Cat City last year, so I'll have a go at finding more of those. Maybe I don't want to finish it this year, though.
So:
Shadows from the Past 8 out and read at present, expecting a ninth,
Time Quintet Read the first, four to go.
Kiwi series Read the first, five to go.

It takes me so long to finish a series, but let's give this a shot!

I have enjoyed the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series and The Heroes of Olympus series by Rick Riordan. I think I'd like to read 2 more of his series this year.
The Kane Chronicles series
The Red Pyramid- finished! But I'm bowing out of the rest of this series. I didn't like the way it was presented as an audio transcript. The Egyptian Gods are a way more complex and seem to have relationships that change in every story. And the possession aspect is a bit creepy. I won't be finishing this series. There are too many good books on my tbr shelf!
The Throne of Fire
The Serpent's Shadow
The Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard series
The Sword of Summer -- Finished!
The Hammer of Thor-- Finished!
The Ship of the Dead--Finished!

Update:
I have now read Books 11 & 12 The Grim Grotto and The Penultimate Peril and I have the final book on my bedside table right now.
I've just finished The End which is the end of the series! I loved the whole series,. I felt that not all the questions were answered in the final book, but this was very fitting.
