Unfinished Business AKA Let’s Finally Finish These Series 2018

Why this title? Well, basically I wrote a similar post last year with ten series I was going to finish in 2017, and guess what? I managed to finish only ONE of those. Yes, basically I lied to myself last year and completely ignored those poor started series on my shelves. But no longer. This year I’m going to try and finish as many series as I can (as well as trying new ones of course). Which ones? Here’s a few that are high on my list, in the order I’ll probably end up reading them.

### ThE 5TH WAVE BY RICK YANCEY ###

I read the first two books ages ago (2016) and I admit I’m not really a fan. I still want to read the third book though, mostly since I already have a copy on my kindle at I don’t like leaving series unfinished.

### THE RAVEN CYCLE BY MAGGIE STIEFVATER ###

I read the first book back in 2016 and enjoyed it, but somehow I never picked up the sequel. I got a copy of the fourth book last year, so there’s no excuses left to not continue this series soon… I’ll probably try and read all three books together just in case.

### EMBASSY ROW BY ALLY CARTER ### 

I loved the first two books and even though the third was one of my most-anticipated releases, more than a year has passed and I haven’t read it yet. Oops? This is another trilogy I’ll be wanting to finish soon.

### LEGEND BY MARIE LU ###

I read and enjoyed the first book back in 2015!, but somehow I never actually picked up the sequels. I’m hoping to change that by the end of the year… Plus, I still have to read The Young Elites as well. Oops?

### FIRE AND THORNS BY RAE CARSON ###

I loved the first book back in 2015, but somehow I never continued the series. Hopefully this year I will change that. (Especially since I want to try out more of her work as well)

### THE DARKEST MINDS BY ALEXANDRA BRACKEN ###

I really enjoyed the first book, but wasn’t a fan of the sequel Never Fade last year and never picked up the final book. I won’t be reading In Time, but I do want to read book three to cross off another series.

### THE DRAGONIAN BY ADRIENNE WOODS ###

I loved the first book back in 2015 and I love dragon stories. Why haven’t I continued this series yet?! (Four more books)

### MISS PEREGRINE’S PECULIAR CHILDREN BY RANSOM RIGGS ###

I want to kick myself for not reading the sequels sooner! I have been meaning to read these for ages now… Hopefully soon? Although with a fourth book coming out this year, I might just wait until that one is published and binge-read all of them.

### BAD GIRLS DON’T DIE BY KATIE ALENDER ###

Another case of really enjoying the first book and never picking up the sequels… Hopefully either next winter or during the Halloween month.

### SHADES OF LONDON BY MAUREEN JOHNSON ###

The first book of this series was really entertaining, so I definitely want to read the sequels some time soon. There are rumors a fourth book is coming out this year though, so I might just wait and see what happens before I do

Unfinished Series 2017: Let’s Do This Thing!

I’m having the feeling I’m not alone when it comes to having a huge pile of series lying around that I either still have to start or have to finish. With so many new books being published all the time, I tend to get distracted and somehow manage to neglect to finish series even though I enjoyed reading the first book or books… And I feel kind of bad about it. I was browsing my series TBR/Read list the other day and the amount of unfinished series had me shocked. And then I’m not even talking about these two lists (1, 2) I wrote back in June 2015 with series I wanted to start ASAP… Because out of the twenty series I mentioned, I only managed to finish ONE. *hides in shame* I started nine more, but that still means only half of the total.

So I’ve decided to change that. I will be making a promise to myself to finish at least 5 of these series by the end of the year. And not only that, for every new series I want to start, I have to read a sequel of a different series first. Kind of like ‘earning’ the right to start a new series, and hopefully it will help finishing those I have already started. Which series will I be focusing on? You can find ten of them below.

The Darkest Minds by Alexandra Bracken. I’ve read and enjoyed the first book and I will be trying to finish this series ASAP.

The Raven Cycle by Maggie Stiefvater. I read the first book and enjoyed it, but somehow I never picked up the sequel. I got a copy of the fourth book not that long ago, so there’s no excuses left to not continue this series soon.

Bad Girls Don’t Die by Katie Alender. I really enjoyed the first book and want to read the sequels this winter… Either that or during the Halloween month.

Fire And Thorns by Rae Carson. I loved the first book, but somehow I never continued the series. Hopefully this year I will change that.

Shades Of London by Maureen Johnson. The first book of this series was really entertaining, so I definitely want to read the sequels some time soon.

Legend by Marie Lu. Another one where I enjoyed the first book, but managed to ignore the sequels… I still have to read The Young Elites as well. Oops?

Confessions by James Patterson and Maxine Paetro. I enjoyed the first book, but the second wasn’t as strong… They are superfast reads though and I already have the copies, so I still want to finish this series.

Miss Peregrine’s Peculiar Children by Ransom Riggs. I want to kick myself for not reading the sequels sooner! I have been meaning to read these for ages now… Hopefully soon?

The Dragonian by Adrienne Woods. I loved the first book and I love dragon stories. Why haven’t I continued this series yet?!

The 5th Wave by Rick Yancey. I read the first two books and I admit I’m not really a fan. I still want to read the third book though, if only not to leave a series unfinished.

I just named ten of the series I will be trying to finish this year, although I have a lot more on my shelves haha. Have you read any of these yourself? Which unfinished series are your priority? I hope everyone is having a great weekend! ❤

Series I Want To Read ASAP: Part 2

Last week I published the first set of series on my TBR list that I still have to start reading, but I there are a lot more than just ten series I want to read… So here is part two. These series below are either ongoing series with only one or two books already published or series I only own the first copy of. I still want to read them ASAP, but not as much as the first ten on my list. 😉 For a more complete list of the series I want to read, have started or actually completed, check out this post.

On to the series… Here are the second ten I want to start soon in no particular order:

11. A Darker Shade Of Magic

I love LOVE the cover and blurb!! But since only the first book is already published and the second one will be published only in 2016, I’m not sure whether it would be better to wait until the publish date for the sequel isn’t so far away…

12. The Queen Of The Tearling

I already own a copy of the first book and the sequel has been published this month, but it is an ongoing series so I might prefer to wait until at least the publish date for the third book is revealed.

13. Reboot

I already own a copy of both so I will probably try to read them soon. 

14. The Sweet Trilogy

I’m still not sure if I would like this series and I don’t like the covers at all, but it has been recommended to me a couple of times so I’m curious now.

15. Talon

There has been quite a hype around both books and they sound really good! Since it’s an ongoing series I might wait for a bit, but not too long because I’m really looking forward to these. I still have to get a copy of Rogue though…

16. Fire And Thorns

This series has been recommended to me and it sounds interesting… At least it seems to be a finished series, although I only own a copy of the first book.

17. Mara Dyer

I like the sound of this series and already own a copy of the first book, so I will probably give it a go soon. 

18. Outlander

I have been wanting to start this series for ages! I only own a copy of the first book though and there are a lot of books in this series, but I think I will start reading them soon anyway.

19. Chaos Walking Trilogy

Why haven’t I started this series?! I have been wanting to read the first book for ages now, and I have to get copies of the second and third book ASAP.

20. The Iron Fey

It looks like an interesting series, although I’m afraid there will be too much romance involved. I only own a copy of the first book, so we’ll see if I pick up my copy soon. 

 

Have you read any of these series already? Would you recommend them? Or do you have any on your TBR as well?

I hope everybody is having a great weekend! 😀

Series I Want To Read ASAP: Part 1

I have a lot of popular series on my TBR list I still have to start reading. (I guess I won’t be the only one with that problem 😉 ) I actually own a copy of at least the first book of most of them… Those poor books currently collecting dust on my shelves since I don’t know where to start. So I decided to make a list of those I want to read ASAP so it’s easier to decide what to read next. There are so many of them though that I’ve decided to split this list in two haha. For a more complete list of the series I want to read, have started or actually completed, check out this post.

On to the series… Here are the first ten I want to start soon in no particular order:

1. The Lunar Chronicles

Technically I’ve started reading Cinder already yesterday, but since I’m not that far into the story yet I will include this series anyway. I know I’m probably the last one to read this, but at least I’ve started reading it now right? 😉

2. Daughter Of Smoke & Bone

I’ve seen this series around a lot and I like the sound of it. Hopefully I can start reading it soon!

3. The Half Bad Trilogy

I love the covers and even though I’ve heard mixed things about this series I want to read it anyway just to see what all the fuzz is about.

4. Legend

Why haven’t I read this trilogy yet? I honestly don’t know, but I hope to change it soon.

5. Shatter Me

I’ve heard mixed things about this series and I’m not sure if it will be for me… But since I already have a copy of the whole series I will give it a try soon enough.

6. The 5th Wave

I love the covers, I love the blurb and I really have to start reading this series ASAP. Probably one of my next reads! 😀

7. The Darkest Minds

I’ve seen this series around quite a lot and I like the look of it, so I will probably try to start reading it soonish.

8. The Raven Cycle

I didn’t like the first book of The Wolves Of Mercy Falls series that much, but since most people seem to agree The Raven Cycle is a lot better I’m planning on starting this series before continuing the other one.

9. The Selection

I’m not a fan of covers with dresses or people on it, but since everybody seems to love this series I guess it’s about time to start reading it.

10. The Winner’s Trilogy

Same as above, I don’t like covers with people or pretty dresses, but I like the sound of the story and I’ve read a lot of positive reviews.

 

Have you read any of these series already? Would you recommend them? Or do you have any on your TBR as well?

I hope everybody is having a great weekend! 😀

Series TBR/Read

I’ve been either reading or wanting to read quite a few series and I thought it was about time to make a full list with all of the series I’ve read, I’m reading and want to read. They are sorted by the last name of the author for easy browsing, and I have to add I haven’t been able to include every book on my evergrowing TBR list at Goodreads yet…
