Someday... I Will Finish

Someday... I Will Finish

 
Camilla has been taking a loooooong time to read due to its slowness, so I will hopefully finish that book and get a final post for it before the end of the semester.
 
Meanwhile, I've been reading more of The Baxter Family Series, by Karen Kingsbury. This is a really long series I started last year and am reading whenever I have spare time. The total series has 23 books in it, 5 mini-series, and 1 stand alone at the end. To help you out, I'll order them below:
 
Redemption Series
3. Return
Firstborn Series
6. Fame
8. Found
9. Family
10. Forever
Sunrise Series
11. Sunrise
12. Summer
13. Someday
14. Sunset
Above The Line Series
Bailey Flanigan Series
19. Leaving
21. Longing
22. Loving
And it ends with...
 
So now you can see what I've gotten myself into. If you've figured it out by the title yet, I just finished Someday (#13) and have quite a ways to go. The series revolves mostly around the Baxter Family and all the drama in their life. Some other families that live in their town are in it too but it's mostly them. You can kind of tell it's a book because no one has that many bad things happen to them in their lifetime, but it makes for a great story. :)
The book Someday revolves around 4 or so main stories going on at once, each of them intermingling with each other. The biggest story is about Dayne and Katy Matthews, (Dayne is one of the Baxter kids but was adopted and therefore has a different last name). They are both actors and during this book they are separated. Dayne is in Mexico shooting a film with his ex (who is still very interested  in him) and Katy is in London shooting a film. Their story is about them fighting for their new marriage while every tabloid is splitting them up.
Meanwhile, Dayne's brother and attorney Luke Baxter is struggling in his own marriage with his wife Reagan. Luke goes down some bad paths in this book, but I won't get into that and am hoping it gets revolved in the future.
Another main story revolves around Ashley Baxter Blake. She and her husband Landon lost their first daughter, Sarah, an hour after her birth in the last book. It was realllllly sad!!! Anyway, in this book they are recovering and Ashley is trying hard to find good things that came, or could come out of Sarah's life. She ends up opening a pregnancy crisis center called Sarah's Door with her sister Dr. Brooke Baxter (I don't think it ever mentions her married last name??).
The last major story is about their dad, John Baxter. Books and books before, in Reunion, their mother, Elizabeth Baxter, passed away and now John is proposing to Elizabeth's best friend, also a widow. His story is about him finally coming to terms with his wife's death enough to propose again. He is also planning on selling the Baxter house where he and Elizabeth lived while they raised 5 of their children.
Basically, a LOT of drama happens, and I'm sure more is to come.
