2014 Reading Challenges: The Series Challenge

For 2014, I'm thinking of spicing things up and participating in at least one or two reading challenges. For sure, I'll be participating in the Spring/Summer '14 Reading Challenge in Goodreads' College Students! group, but I'd also like to participate in some more general challenges. Here's one of the challenges that caught my eye, mainly because it seems like a good way to also keep track of all the series I'm currently following or interested in.

The 2014 Series Challenge is hosted by Octavia at Read. Sleep. Repeat. and consists of the following guidelines:

• You must finish the series in 2014. If the series won't be completed by December 2014, then you must read up the most current release.
• Series that you started prior to 2014 are fine as long as you finish the series in 2014.
• If you decide to stop reading a series after one or two books, it does not count.
• The series has to have at least 2 books out prior to December 1st, 2014. 
• Proof that you finished the book is required. It could be a full review, a mini review, or a rating with a few lines. DNF’s do not count.

Run Time: 01 January 2014 - 31 December 2014
My Goal: Gold Badge (7-11 series)

I'm aiming for around 10-11 series this year, but hopefully I'll be able to finish more. There's always something new popping up. There are also some pretty badges and giveaways associated with this challenge, so if you're interested, you should definitely join, too! This is my tentative challenge list:
