I am participating in Top Ten Tuesday, hosted by The Broke and the Bookish! Each week, there is a specific topic for a top ten list.
This weeks topic is:
Top Ten Series I Haven't Finished
1. The Song of Ice and Fire Series George R. R. Martin
I am a little intimidated by the size of these books, so I am holding off continuing for a little while. Don't get me wrong though, I loved the first books and really want to continue!
2. The Wolves of Mercy Falls Series by Maggie Stiefvater
I won't be continuing on with this series. I read Shiver, but unfortunately I did not enjoy it.
3. Naughts and Crosses Series by Malorie Blackman
I absolutely adored Naughts and Crosses, however I liked how it ended as a stand-alone novel. I am a little hesitant to read the rest.
4. Hush, Hush Series by Becca Fitzpatrick
I own the sequel, but have not read it as of yet. I am also a bit hesitant with this as well. I enjoyed Hush, Hush when I first read it but am unsure if I will continue to like to series.
5. Uglies Series by Scott Westerfeld
This is simply because I have not yet gotten around to buying the next book in the series. My bookstore only sells copies with a different cover for the sequel (although they have the other books with the same cover design that I have).
6. Leviathan Series by Scott Westerfeld
Same sort of reason here, just haven't gotten around to buying the next book.
7. Across the Universe Series by Beth Revis
I don't know why, but I just haven't read A Million Suns! I absolutely loved Across the Universe, but for some reason I have take forever to firstly buy the sequel, and now read it!
8. Nightshade Series by Andrea Cremer
The whole cover change completely put me off buying the sequel originally. Then I got the impression that the other books within this series aren't as good as Nightshade. I quite liked the first book, but I don't feel compelled to continue on with this series.
9. Mortal Instruments Series by Cassandra Clare
So I own the first three books in this series, and have read City of Bones. I haven't continued on through because firstly, I didn't enjoy CoB as much as I thought I would. I liked it, but I think my expectations were a little too high. And secondly, I am contemplating starting the Infernal Devices series before continuing with the second book.
10. Chemical Garden Trilogy by Lauren DeStefano
I suppose I am just lazy with this one, like a few of the other series. I really enjoyed Wither but have yet to purchase the next book.
I didn't like Shiver at all either. I gave it a chance because it was hyped as an "intelligent paranormal romance." That was completely wrong.
ReplyDeleteI had to buy the last three Uglies books in the weird white covers that I don't like because I couldn't find the other ones being sold anywhere.
I have three of these series on my list too - The Uglies, the Game of Thrones books. and Mortal Instruments. I did finish the Wolves of Mercy Falls books, but it too me a long time to finish it off. I would read one, wait a year, read another, wait a month or two. I think I just finished to finish. Lol.
ReplyDeleteHave a great day!
I have still to finish the Shiver series too, I just wanted hooked enough by it. I have read the Uglies series by I wasn't really a fan of it, they are hard work to get through. The rest of the Noughts & Crosses series is a bit dissapointing too as they don't live up to the first one.
ReplyDeleteWow that wasn't a cheerful comment lol I am going to read the Wither series soon, looking forward to it after reading all the positive reviews.
This is a good list, I agree on most! I haven't finished the last book in the shiver series.
ReplyDeleteYou've got to read the Infernal Devices because they are miles times better than the Mortal Instruments! I love that series so much!!
Check out my list here
I love A Song of Ice and Fire series as well and I'm a bit intiminated by the size of those books as well. I also really liked the Uglies series.
ReplyDeleteI haven't read most of them but I'm really curious about Wither! I was also disappointed by CoB because I'd read Clockwork Angel first and Cassandra Clare's writing improved immensely between those two books! So I'd give teh series a chance because it gets much better in later books in my opinion.
ReplyDeleteAbout Hush Hush, I had similar thoughts. Then I bought Crescendo and was mostly annoyed by it, but I read Silence this summer and liked it better. I'm really curious to see how everyhing is resolved in the final book.
By the way, I understand the thing about cover-changes being a turn-off. I hate it if my editions don't match and sort of go into sulking mode ^^'
