Bookish Musings - Stacie's April Reading.

Bookish Musings is a feature here at Beautiful Bookish Butterflies that allows one of us to share our thoughts and opinions, talk and discuss things happening in the book and blogging community or share a personal book related issue we have. Today, Stacie is talking about some of the series she hopes to finally move off her TBR shelf this month.


So for those of you who don't know, I did a post (link) back in June  talking about how many series I had started and how they seem to be taking over my life (or shelf). Yesterday I decided that to better understand just how many books I had accumulated on my Goodreads that were related to a series of some kind, I made a shelf and put all the ones that applied from my TBR and my Read shelf. Well everyone I have a grand total of 619 books on the one shelf, made up of around 72 series I have only read the first book of, 27 finished, 15 that I'm not bothered about completing, 29 with only the last book stopping me and around 167 that I want to start. (these are just estimated, I did keep a tally while going through but lets just assume that a number may be off here or there).
