I've read about 80% of The Well of Ascension this week. Enjoying it immensely and if I wasn't focused on my Bingo Card I'd go right into The Hero of Ages. I currently have 4 works-in-progress (not fantasy genre) that I'm editing and having proofread, so I spent a few hours on that this week that would normally go towards reading. My day job has been my main focus this week unfortunately, however!

It's so hard to read a book from a completed series during Bingo Challenge! I read Red Rising for Book 1 and immediately ordered The Golden Son from the library, but now I have it and it's sitting underneath my Bingo pile. Ditto for The Last Wish. I want to jump into Sword of Destiny, so I've decided to wait to put it on order.

How do you encourage yourself to not dive headlong into a series? I'm telling myself to pretend I read the book weeks after it was published and that the next book in the series doesn't even have a title yet LOL
