2014 Prequel and Sequel Challenge

So, I think I'm going to try this Challenge this year, as a lot of the books on my TBR pile, or maybe just my TBR list are sequels to series that I started because the first book was an e-galley, but then I just never got the 2nd book as an e-galley, or bought it, or whatever.  This challenge is co-hosted by Novel Heartbeat (formerly Auntie Spinelli Reads) and Writer Grrl Reads.  

The goal: To read as many prequels and sequels as you can. You set your goal at whatever number works for you.

So, let's see, here are my hopes for this challenge:

1. Rogue (Croak #3) by Gina Damico
2. Requiem (Delirium #3) by Lauren Oliver
3. Prodigy (Legend #2) and Champion (Legend #3) by Marie Lu
4. Sookie Stackhouse series by Charlaine Harris:  Deadlocked, Dead Ever After, and After Dead
5. Walking Disaster (Beautiful #2) and A Beautiful Wedding (Beautiful #2.5) by Jamie McGuire
6. Shatter Me series by Tehereh Mafi:  Unravel Me, Fracture Me, and Ignite Me
7. Boundless (Unearthly #3) by Cynthia Hand
8. Sever (The Chemical Garden #3) by Lauren DeStefano
9. As They Slip Away (Across the Universe #0.5) and Shades of Earth (Across the Universe #3)  by Beth Revis
10. I'm hoping to finish The Mortal Instruments series by Cassandra Clare.  I've got #5 on the shelf, #6 is supposed to come out this year.
11. Daughter of Smoke and Bone series by Laini Taylor:  Days of Blood and Starlight, Night of Cake and Puppets,  and Dreams of Gods and Monsters
12. The whole Revenants series by Amy Plum
13. Light (Gone #6)  by Michael Grant
14. The Selection series by Kiera Cass:  The Guard (2.5) and The One (#3)
15. The Forever Song (Blood of Eden #3) by Julie Kagawa

Those are my hopes for this, and maybe there will be even more!  Mike Mullin is supposed to finish his Ashfall series this year I think.  So I may add on to this.  I just hope I can keep up and make sure to mention in the reviews when they match up to this challenge.

Waiting on Wednesday - Four: A Divergent Story Collection (Divergent 0.1-0.4) by Veronica Roth

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly event hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine where we spotlight upcoming releases that we're eagerly awaiting. This week I've chosen a book, that is a collection of novellas that are either not available yet, or only available as an e-novella.  They are kind of what you'd call prequels I guess.  Prequels to a series that many of the fans were unhappy about its ending, the Divergent series.  If you haven't yet, and aren't concerned about spoilers, you can read my review of Allegiant HERE.  Here is the blurb about the collection from Goodreads:

More Four! Fans of the Divergent series by No. 1 New York Times bestselling author Veronica Roth will be thrilled this collection of short stories told from Four's perspective. Each brief story in this collection explores the world of the Divergent series through the eyes of the mysterious but charismatic Tobias Eaton, revealing previously unknown facets of his personality, backstory and relationships.

Features the following stories: The Transfer, The Initiate, The Son, The Traitor, and Free Four.
