Amanda first asked this on Floor to Ceiling books : "How many series are you currently reading?" and then posted her list. Following in her footsteps, Sarah at Bookworm Blues and Mark at Walker of Worlds posted theirs. I figured out I could look into it myself and I found out that maybe it's a bit too much in my case. I currently "actively" follow 25 series.... that's a bit much in my opinion. Anyway, I can't do anything about it... except read!
I added actively since I didn't include series like Chris Evans Iron Elves series, Matthew Sturges series, Tad Williams' Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn, R.A Salvatore Drizzt books or some other series that I'm not sure I will ever be reading to the end (not because they are necessarily bad series, because I will probably always have something even better suited to my taste to read).

I try and save series' until they have all been released, then get them all and read them in order. The only exception I can think of is Song of Fire and Ice. I read the first 3 in a row, now I'm waiting until more come out and I plan on rereading the first 3 then moving right to the rest.
you counted rothfuss twice
Very impressive list - and I was thrilled to see my husband's series "The Riyria Revelations" among them!
Just wanted to let you know that Wintertide was just released so you can change that from "forthcoming" - Percepliquis is still on track for April 2011 so not too long before you can count that entire series as done!
I hope you have been enjoying them.
