A few disclaimers and such:
* This ALMOST included 3 series that had been abandoned before even beginning. Things I kept swearing I would get to next .... and then kept pushing aside. But then I thought of other series that actually HAD been abandoned (some for a number of years) and the guilt got to me.
* One of the titles below GoodReads swears I've read before but I don't believe them. That's pretty severe abandonment. If I start it and suddenly remember, I'll just adjust and move on to the next in that same series.
* I count Agatha Christie's novels as one big series since I'm reading them in order so even though The Man in the Brown Suit is the first Race novel, I still count it as part of the abandoned Christie novel series read-fest.

So glad you're participating, Karen. I've got a Royal Spyness and a Lily Bard on my list too, but earlier ones than yours. The only one on your list which I've read is The Man in the Brown Suit. I read it a while back with a Christie group. A few of them didn't care much for it, but I seem to remember enjoying it.
Jasper Fforde is always fun! I hope you enjoy Lost in a Good Book. I'm only doing 10 Books of Summer; much as I would like to, I don't think I could get to 20. Have fun reading!
The Lily Bard being on YOUR list is what made me remember that I still had a couple left in the series!!!
20 feels like a lot to me but I work overnights which gives me (potentially) a lot of time to read ... as long as I don't get distracted by Netflix or shiny things :)
What a good idea to pick up on those series that you've abandoned! The only ones on your list which I've read are The Man in the Brown Suit and The Winter Garden Mystery. I've read a lot of Agatha Christie's books and a few of Carola Dunn's. Happy reading!
Just popping through from Cathy's blog to wave hello to a fellow summer challenger! Great idea to catch up on some sereies - wish I'd thought of that! I always seem to come in somewhere in the middle and then never find time to backtrack.
Have a great reading summer - looking forward to reading your reviews! :)
What a brilliant idea to use Cathy's challenge to catch up on those series - I'm awful at starting series and then not finishing them unless I've been a faithful follower from the beginning. Good luck with the challenge, I will be checking our your progress as I'm determined to stay on track with this one.
