Doctor Who

A quick update on my progress for my reading challenge this year. My plan is to finish some of the series that I've got ongoing - I've selected 14 series with a total of 44 books. I've managed to read 4 books this month which is an excellent start. These are:

Spook’s: Seventh Apprentice by Joseph Delaney
Taken by Benedict Jacka
Chosen by Benedict Jacka
Hidden by Benedict Jacka

Seventh Apprentice was the last book of The Wardstone Chronicles series, so that's that all finished. It was a bit odd in that it was the last of the series but actually a prequel. And the series itself continues in The Starblade Chronicles which I've already made a start on. It's very confusing. The other three books - Taken, Chosen, and Hidden - are all from the Alex Verus series. That's the one with the most books so I wanted to get it finished early on. I've got another 6 left yet but I'm having a little break from it which was completely unplanned. I happened to see an intriguing book in the library a couple of days ago, so I'm reading that now. It's Doing Time by Jodi Taylor which happens to be the first book in the Time Police series! I didn't realise it was part of a series, it looked like it was a standalone novel otherwise I wouldn't have picked it up!

So this is what the full list of series looks like now:

• ✔ The Wardstone Chronicles by Joseph Delaney - 1 book COMPLETED
  
  
• The Starblade Chronicles by Joseph Delaney - 2 books
  
  
• The Rivers of London by Ben Aaronovich - 7 books *

• Shadow and Bone trilogy by Leigh Bardugo - 1 book
  
  
• The Thursday Murder Club by Richard Osman - 1 book *
  
  
• Gentlemen Bastard by Scott Lynch - 1 book *
  
  
• Her Majesty The Queen Investigates by SJ Bennett - 1 book *
  
  
• Spellcaster by Charlie N Holmberg - 1 book
  
  
• The Invisible Library by Genevieve Cogman - 6 books *

• The Stranger Times by C.K. McDonnell - 1 book *
  
  
• The Locked Tomb by Tamsin Muir - 1 book *

* These series are still being written so there may be more books to come!
