OMG I’m done!

I finished a series today!

I feel like this is something to be celebrated because I’m a fairly slow reader and I’m easily distracted by shiny things. Plus, now that I’ve started reviewing full-time, though I get to pick and choose what I review I’m still learning to compartmentalize my non-review books. And since there are so many series out these days, following a ton of them seems difficult.
Anyway, today I finished the last of the Sons of Destiny books by Jean Johnson. I’ll probably have reviews for the third and fourth books posted over at TGBTU, but I figured squeeing about finally being done was definitely of the awesome.

Also, the Sons of Destiny series all will be published either by the end of this year or in early 2009, according to the impression I got from the author’s website. The fifth book is scheduled to be released in June, and I’m looking forward to it with eager anticipation, the kind of eager anticipation I last reserved for the Harry Potter books. In fact, the only book I am anticipating *more* would be the fifth in the Song of Ice and Fire series, which will probably come out around the time that pigs start to fly.

Anyway, all this got me thinking about the depressing number of series I’ve started but not finished: The In Death books, the Dresden Files, the Psi-Changeling books by Nalini Singh, Marjorie Liu’s Dirk and Steele series, hell, the Miles Vorkosigan books (although in that case it’s more because Miles is one of my very few fictional character crushes and I’m not entirely ready to give him up just yet.)

Anyway, after being thoroughly depressed by the mount of series I’ve started but not finished, I thought, ‘Well, you know, you do have books TBR that are the first volumes of series that are not out yet. Maybe I should become a J. C. Wilder fangirl and try her Coven series from Samhain. Or I could read the first book in Melissa Lopez’s Netherworld series, also from Samhain, and Sarah Reinke’s vampire romance, which is part of a series and the title of which has escaped me.
Or, you know, I could ignore this topic altogether and just keep reading. I already promised that the next few books I read would be review books so that Sybil doesn’t kill me.
