My Completed Series

If you know me personally or have been following my blogs for a while, then you know that I'm an absolute bookworm! I love to use any and all of my free time for reading and writing. I've seen some of the BookTubers that I'm subscribed to do the "Completed Series Tag" which is basically where you list out all of the series that you've completed. You can also choose to share what series that you've started, and whether or not you plan to be continuing on with those series. I've never counted how many series that I've read before, so I figured that it'd be a fun little tidbit to learn! So, here are all of the series that I've completed!

(These are in no particular order. And I checked my Goodreads page just to make sure that I didn't forget any books.)

1. The Harry Potter Series- That one was a given, right?

2. Percy Jackson and the Olympians

3. The Sweet Trilogy

4. The Divergent Trilogy

5. The Infernal Devices Trilogy

6. The Legend Trilogy- This series is totally fast-paced and one that I highly recommend!

7. The Shatter Me Trilogy

8. The Flowers in the Attic Series- If you like creepy stories, this is the series for you!

9. The Vampire Academy Series

10. The Kane Chronicles- I'll read anything and everything that Rick Riordan writes!

11. The Selection Trilogy

12. The Summer I Turned Pretty Trilogy

13. The Hex Hall Trilogy

14. The Ruby Red Trilogy

15. The Matched Trilogy

16. The Twilight Saga- I read this in high school when it was super popular.

17. The 50 Shades of Grey Trilogy- I just wanted to see what the hype was all about.

18. Jeremy Marsh and Lexie Darnell Duology

I'm actually pretty surprised/pleased with 18. I thought that I had read more but it's still a pretty good number! But I'm sure that the number will keep increasing! There are only 2 series that I'm in the middle of now that I plan on finishing: The Pushing the Limits Series and The Heroes of Olympus Series.

Updated Bucket List

Over a year ago, I posted my bucket list on my other blog. I haven't looked at it much since I posted it. But because New Years has just passed, it made me think about my goals. So, I headed on over to that post and decided that this year, I'm going to do everything I can to actually cross something off of it. I'm not an extroverted or courageous person. Most of the time, I'm too nervous to try new things or do any of the things that I say that I want to do. But I decided that it's time to actually start living instead of existing.

While I was perusing my list, I noticed that there were a lot of things listed that I actually didn't want to do. I found myself laughing at it because those things were so out of character for me. I honestly don't know why I would even put them on my list in the first place. I also realized that since the last time I looked at my list, I had actually accomplished a few of them! It was such a relief to know that I did those things just because I wanted to and not because of some pressure that I put on myself because of my bucket list. 

I'm actually pretty proud of myself for going through with those things and I thought that it was important to update my progress, while also taking off the activities that I have no desire to do anymore. So without further adieu, here is my updated bucket list!
