My 2025 Series Update | What I Finished, DNF’d & Will Continue

Описание: #booktube #seriesupdate - Today I’m doing a full Series Update / Audit for my 2025 reading year 📚☕
I went back through my reading tracker to see how my series reading actually shook out — which series I finished, which ones I DNF’d, which I’m still in the middle of, and which series I’m planning to start in 2026.

This is an honest check-in about how I read series, what worked for me in 2025, and how that’s shaping my reading plans going forward. Grab your favorite beverage and let’s talk about series.

✨ In this video, I cover:
• Series I DNF’d in 2025
• Series I’m currently reading
• Series I finished in 2025
• Series I plan to start in 2026
• How my series reading is shifting from novella-heavy to chunkier series
