Top Ten Tuesday #26 - Top Ten Series I Want to Finish


This lovely meme is hosted by The Broke and the Bookish!

I am one of those people that is absolutely terrible finishing series. I'll see a book at the library and I'll get it out, read it, realise it's a part of a series, and add it to my mental "series-to-finish" list. This year, I really, really want to try to finish some of these series and here are some of my top ones! (The book covers are the books I still need to read in order to complete the series - they will take you to its Goodreads page)

1. The Mortal Instruments by Cassandra Clare 
City of Heavenly Fire (The Mortal Instruments, #6)

During my next holidays I'll be reading this. I wanted to read it during the holidays but then my got life got sucked up by the Skulduggery Pleasant series, which I also have yet to finish. 

2. The Skulduggery Pleasany series by Derek Landy
Last Stand of Dead Men (Skulduggery Pleasant, #8)The Dying of the Light (Skulduggery Pleasant, #9)

SQUEEEE this series is SO good and I am way too emotionally attached to the characters. Apparently these two are going to leave me heartbroken. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't terrified.

3. The Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (Harry Potter, #5)Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (Harry Potter, #6)Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Harry Potter, #7)

I KNOW, I KNOW. I was going to read it in the holidays but like I said, I was kind of addicted to the Skulduggery Pleasant series. BUT SOON, my friends. Sooooon.

4. The Daughter of Smoke and Bone trilogy by Laini Taylor
Dreams of Gods & Monsters (Daughter of Smoke & Bone, #3)

I read the second book last week and I loved it! I was bored out of my mind for the first 200 pages but then I fell totally in love with it. I really need this book because I am desperate to know what happens. Also, these covers are beautiful.

5. Anna and the French Kiss Trilogy/Companion Novels by Stephanie Perkins
Isla and the Happily Ever After (Anna and the French Kiss, #3)

I love love LOVE Stephanie Perkins' books and I'm sure I'll enjoy this too! I read a couple of pages a few months ago but then I put it down because I wasn't in the mood for a contemporary. I really need to pick this up soon!

6. Caster Chronicles by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl
Beautiful Darkness (Caster Chronicles, #2)Beautiful Chaos (Caster Chronicles, #3)Beautiful Redemption (Caster Chronicles, #4)

I was uncertain of reading Beautiful Creatures due to all the negative reviews I read but I loved it and I desperately want to continue the series!

7. The Books of Beginning by John Stephens
Blank-133x176
It hasn't got a cover yet, but I'm sure it will be fabulous. I LOVE this series, it's a fantastically well-written middle-grade fantasy and I highly recommend it! It's coming out this year, so hopefully I'll be able to read it and completely the trilogy.

8. The Lunar Chronicles by Marissa Meyer
Scarlet (The Lunar Chronicles, #2)Cress (The Lunar Chronicles, #3)Winter (The Lunar Chronicles, #4)

I read Cinder two years ago and I LOVED it (it also got me out of a terrible reading slump!) and I have Scarlet and Cress that I've been meaning to read. I CAN'T WAIT TO CONTINUE THIS SERIES.

9. The Shatter Me Trilogy by Tahereh Mafi
Unravel Me (Shatter Me, #2)Ignite Me (Shatter Me, #3)

I absolutely adored Shatter Me and I've been meaning to read the rest of the series but they don't have them at my library and they're very expensive in South Africa! I want the physical books because they're so pretty but I might have to just buy it on my Kindle!

10. The Lorien Legacies by Pittacus Lore
The Rise of Nine (Lorien Legacies, #3)The Fall of Five (Lorien Legacies, #4)The Revenge of Seven (Lorien Legacies, #5)

I read the first two and quite enjoyed them. I have gotten the last 3 to review and I really want to read them and complete the series soon!
