I'm sticking with a solid 52 book resolution given that it is my last year of graduate school and I don't want to overwhelm myself too much. The emphasis will be on reading books I have already purchased, however. I've made myself a little TBR jar with the titles on wax-sealed papers to make it more fun to choose. (I will probably still buy more books).

I have never once bought an entire series prior to reading it. I rarely even buy two books in a series at once, unless I thought the previous books were exceptionally done and I wanted the whole thing - usually happens with a really good first book of trilogies. Recently that has been me buying the #2 & #3 of The Poppy War trilogy and the Masquerade trilogy.
