I'm intending to catch up on quite a few series this year, starting with a few of the shorter series that have been lurking on my shelves for a while! If I can clear them it will help in the battle to reduce the never-ending tbr!
The Plan is to start this year with a few series that I really must finish or catch up with. Once I've done them all I'll extend the challenge by adding more series on until I run out of days in the year. The challenge will run all year.

It's the first month of the year, the darts are finishing soon and it'll be back to a full reading schedule for Chuckles! Now it is time to share my plans for the month ahead on the reading side of things.
The plan is to stop going overboard with lists of 30 books a month which is unrealistic. Instead I'll pick a few related to various challenges that I'm doing and books I just feel like reading. No stress, no huge targets but something to motivate me. After I read these books I can add on anything else I get to at a later date!
