Top Ten Tuesday (#107) (09/08/15) Ten Finished Series I Have YET to Finish

Ten Finished Series I Have YET to Finish


Oh boy.  I am TERRIBLE about finishing series, although I've been trying to be much better with this. Here are my ten. Honestly, there could probably be 50 series that could be on this list, so I had to narrow this down further.  I am only including books where I have read more than one from the series and those where I actually do want to finish the series, I just haven't done it yet.  That means that series that I broke up with won't be on this list and books where I only read the first book and never read any others also don't make it.  Even with all those conditions, I STILL had to cut out over six series.  Here are my Ten.

Probably the most popular series on this list.  I LOVED the first book.  I really enjoyed the second book.  I got half way through the final book and then stopped.  I have no idea why I haven't gotten back to it.  I really need to read it before the next movie comes out. It's probably the book that I am trying to get to most.  Hopefully this book never makes another list of books I haven't read.

Sad fact is that I own every book in this series. However I've only actually read the first two. Darn those $2.99 sales. I liked the series, I just didn't love it.  I do plan on reading the rest of the books, I just don't know when.

I loved this series.  The first two books are fabulous. It's completely inexplicable why I haven't read the final book. I have it.  I've been meaning to read it forever, it's been on my priority reading list for the last three years running.  I just haven't gotten to it yet.

I read the first two books in this series as they came out.  I have yet to read the final one.  There is no excuse, I've had it sitting on my shelf for years now. It's a really good series, and I remember it well, i just never got around to reading the final book.

There are 7 books in this series not to mention all the novellas.  I've read all those novellas as well as six of the books.  The final book is staring me in the face on my book shelf.  Where it's lived for years.  I can't believe I got this invested in the series, but never started the final book.

Another series which I thought was good, but not fabulous.  I guess why reading that final book in the series hasn't been a priority, however I have it on my shelf so there is no good reason I don't grab it and get it out of the way.

This book has six books and about 1.2 million short stories.  I never got around to reading most of the shorts, but I did manage to read the major books.  Well, all but the final one.  I have had it sitting on my kindle since it came out, and I have yet to get to it.  No excuse.

I started reading long after it started, maybe 4 years after the first book was released.  So that may be why I never caught up.  I enjoyed the first three books that I did manage to read, and one day I may read the rest.  I just don't know when.

Another series I came to late, so I wasn't grabbing them as they came out.  Which may explain why I've read half of the 14 book series.  I really enjoy these books and I keep meaning to get back to them.

This was a really popular series at the time, and I really enjoyed the first two books. Then I got the ARC of the final book, and just never made it a priority. I actually managed to avoid all spoilers, so I still don't know how it turns out.  I just never got around to the final book.

Top Ten Books On My Winter TBR


There are a lot that I mentioned in my previous posts.  So if a book ended up on both of those lists, ahem Evertrue and Ignite Me, it won't end up on this one.  As ever, I am also limiting this to books that are scheduled to be published during the winter solstice:  December 21, 2013-March 19, 2014.

Another ARC just waiting to be read.  I love a good contemporary, and I hope this lives up to my expectations.

I was disappointed how the Delirium series ended, but I look forward to reading this one.  I have the ARC, not I just have to read it.

I found the first book in this series to be very interesting.  I didn't love it, so I hope this book ends up being better.

"Waiting On" Wednesday (#37) The Shadow Prince (Into the Dark #1) by Bree Despain

11/13/2013

“Waiting On” Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted at Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we’re eagerly anticipating.

This week I'm picking:
The Shadow Prince (Into the Dark #1) by
Expected publication: March 11th 2014 by EgmontUSA

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/18077928-the-shadow-prince

From Goodreads: 

Haden Lord, the disgraced prince of the Underrealm, has been sent to the mortal world to entice a girl into returning with him to the land of the dead. Posing as a student at Olympus Hills High—a haven for children of the rich and famous—Haden must single out the one girl rumored to be able to restore immortality to his race.

Daphne Raines has dreams much bigger than her tiny southern Utah town, so when her rock star dad suddenly reappears, offering her full tuition to Olympus Hills High’s prestigious music program, she sees an opportunity to catch the break she needs to make it as a singer. But upon moving into her estranged father’s mansion in California, and attending her glamorous new school, Daphne soon realizes she isn’t the only student in Olympus who doesn’t quite belong.

Haden and Daphne—destined for each other—know nothing of the true stakes their fated courtship entails. As war between the gods brews, the teenagers’ lives collide. But Daphne won’t be wooed easily and when it seems their prophesied link could happen, Haden realizes something he never intended—he’s fallen in love. Now to save themselves, Haden and Daphne must rewrite their destinies. But as their destinies change, so do the fates of both their worlds


Why I'm Waiting:
I really enjoyed The Savage Grace series by Bree Despain, so I look forward to reading this one.  It looks unique and different.
