Top Ten Series I've Been Meaning To Start But Haven't
- I'm not a big series reader, which is probably because I read a lot of Contemporary. But there's something about SERIES that when I'm not reading any, I miss them. I miss the cliffhangers and imagining what's going to happen next. The excitement (or torture) of waiting for the next book to be released. The being able to enjoy the characters and plot lines for more than just one book. I also like that series seem to be a little more popular, so there are usually tons of people to talk about them with. I haven't read one single series book this year yet-- that really surprises me and makes me think I need to start one!! Here's the ones I've been interested in:
1. Delirium by Lauren Oliver- I love Lauren Oliver, so I gotta read this series.
2. Seriously Wicked by Tina Connolly- Do you see the cute tights on the cover?? That + witches + I own the book = I need to read it.
3. Shade Me (Nikki Kill series) by Jennifer Brown- I'm not really THAT into the synopsis of this book-- but I SUPER love Jennifer Brown and have never read a book from her that I didn't love.
5. The Perfectionists by Sara Shepard- I LOVE Sara Shepard series and need more of them in my life.
6. Not a Drop to Drink by Mindy McGinnis- Now that I know what Mindy McGinnis is capable of (I was OBSESSED with Female of the Species), I need to read more from her).
7. The Liar Society series by Lisa Roecker & Laura Roecker- This is an older series, but I'm a sucker for plaid skirts, and I've heard that this series was really good.
8. A Series of Unfortunate Events series by Lemony Snicket- I bought the first book the other day & plan to read it with my son very soon.
9. Jessica Darling's It List (Middle Grade series) by Megan McCafferty- I LOVED the original Jessica Darling series and I really want to read the MG spin-off.
10. Hundred Oaks series by Miranda Kenneally- I've been meaning to read this series since forevs. Defending Taylor really sounded like something I'd love, so I might start with that one (although I do own Breathe, Annie, Breathe). Do you have any recs on which book to start with?
What series have you been meaning to read?
Hope you enjoy Snicket. I'm a huge fan of A Series of Unfortunate Events, but never got started on All the Wrong Questions. Perhaps I should read those this summer. My TTT is at - https://bookmurmuration.wordpress.com/2017/06/20/top-ten-tuesday-20-06-2017/
ReplyDeleteYou probably should read The Bad Beginning. It's so snarky.

I've not heard of The Forgetting but the cover is simply stunning. ASoUE sounds like the perfect series to read with your son. I really hope you both enjoy it. http://foxesfairytale.wordpress.com/2017/06/20/ttt-series-i-want-to-start
ReplyDeleteI've only heard of Delirium, so many new series to check out and so little time...
ReplyDeleteI LOVED The Delirium Series!!! I have read one book in the Hundred Oaks series but own almost all of them. I really liked the one I read. I would like to get to the Forgetting. Great list!
ReplyDeleteHundred Oaks made my list too! I love companion series. I LOVED Delirium too! I didn't love the way the series wrapped up completely but the books were definitely worth a read. :)
ReplyDeleteI read Delirium but wasn't crazy about it, so I never finished the series. Seriously Wicked looks so cute!
ReplyDeleteI loved most of the Hundred Oaks books! A few toward the middle weren't my favorites but all books got three stars or more from me ;) and YES THE PERFECTIONISTS! I loved that series. Sara Shepard is my fave.
ReplyDeleteYES!! So glad to hear you say that about THE PERFECTIONISTS!! I can't wait to start it!
DeleteThere are only a couple on your list that I've heard of, and none that I've actually gotten the chance to read. lol! I'm definitely going to have to check some of these out. Hope you love them when you get around to them!
ReplyDeleteGreat list! The only series I have read so far out of these is Delirium. I've also read Shade Me and really enjoyed it. Several of the other books you listed are on my TBR list as well. I hope you enjoy all of these when you get around to them!!

Good to know about Shade Me. I can't actually see myself not liking a Jennifer Brown book. I mean, I read an MG book by her recently and LOVED IT so much more than I should have.
DeleteYOU HAVE TO START THE FORGETTING! Drop everything. It's that amazing. And also I'm with you on Not a Drop to Drink. I own a copy and still haven't read it. Great list!
ReplyDeleteCassi @ My Thoughts Literally
Good to know about THE FORGETTING. I never really hear anyone talking about it.
DeleteThe Delirium series! I like Lauren Oliver, I really need to read those too. And Not A Drop To Drink- I remember when that came out. Never did read it, I should now. I hear good stuff about her books...
ReplyDeleteGreat list! I have heard great things about the Delirium series.

I loved THE FORGETTING and its sequel. I also enjoyed the McGinnis series, although it's definitely not for the faint of heart :)
ReplyDeleteHappy TTT!
The Forgetting made my TTT too. Read Delirium series (very good), and I am a Hundred Oaks fan. The Jessica Darling books look so cute, and this is the third TTT list I have seen them on. I have to check them out.
ReplyDeleteSam @ WLABB
The Jessica Darling books are AWESOME!! At least books 1-3 are (4&5 annoyed me). The series I want to read is the MG series. I have no idea if they're good or not-- haven't really heard much about them!
DeleteJessica Darling's It List is so cute! It's a little bit different from the original books (of course, being MG and all) but I love reading Jessica as a middle schooler. The originals are my all-time favorite series.
ReplyDeleteI loved ASOUE when I was a kid! I hope both you and your son enjoy it :)

I listened to Not a Drop to Drink and enjoyed it a lot, the characters were great, though The Female of the Species still is a step up! I never read the companion book to NaDtD though.
ReplyDeleteAnd one series I need to read is The Raven Cycle. I think I'm the only one left who hasn't read it! It's in my plans this summer to at least start it.
OMG. You *have* to start the Delirium series. It's such a phenomenal series, and the love interest boys: OMMGG. (Yes, that was so necessary.) You'll go crazy. Literally, I hate dystopians, but it's so easily re-rereadable and lovable. Hahaha. I knew a kid in elementary kid, who used read the Lemony Snicket books, facedown on the desk. Like, seriously, I think he read them all. I've been wanting to read Seriously Wicked, simply for that cover. So cute! And I once tried to get into the PLL book series, and they're actually really good, but there were so many, and I owned about two, so I eventually gave them away. Her books are like R.L. Stine tbh. Very repetitive.
