Looks like Top Ten Tuesday isn’t back yet, so here’s another theme of my own. Cribbing from someone else’s choice last week, here are some series I want to finish (or at least continue, in the case of series which haven’t finished yet)!
- Lady Isabella Trent, by Marie Brennan. The last book is out soon. Okay, this is sad and depressing and I don’t want it, also, but I can’t wait to have the last book.
- October Daye, by Seanan McGuire. I don’t know if this actually has a projected end, at this point? But nonetheless, I’d like to get there someday.
- Newsflesh, by Mira Grant. I keep stalling on reading the other books, having read the first, but I definitely want to.
- Throne of Glass, by Sarah J. Maas. I see plenty of people who don’t like the way the series has gone, and I haven’t read the latest three books (I think) yet, so I might change my mind. But for now, I’m definitely interested.
- Clockwork Century, by Cherie Priest. I didn’t love the first book, Boneshaker, but I do remember enjoying it and there’s a lot that intrigues me about the later books.
- Phryne Fisher, by Kerry Greenwood. …Again.
- Temeraire, by Naomi Novik. Someday! I’ve read the first book again recently, and I would like to read them all this time.
- The Invisible Library, by Genevieve Cogman. There should be more books in the future, from what I hear, so gimme, gimme, gimme!
- Blackthorn and Grim, by Juliet Marillier. Even though I’m being terrible about getting round to it, even with a copy right here…
- Peter Grant, by Ben Aaronovitch. Someday! Not soon, I hope…
Part of me loves series that seem neverending but the other part of me panics at the thought of where I’m going to put the darn things as my shelf space runs out rapidly! Still as long as a series keeps up its standards that’s the most important thing. Hope you continue to enjoy your series here!
Haha, yeah, and if I’m ever going to read the denouement of the whole plot! I hate the idea of not getting the end.
I definitely want to read Newsflesh too. I read the first three in that series and loved them all. With Throne of Glass, I have to say that I LOVE where the series is gone. The last book has serious similarities to LOTR and I love it so much. It is very LOTR.

I’m still on the first book of the Newsflesh series, gah. Oh self!
I’m much better with series in which the books feature the same characters, but have independent and self-contained stories. So, I’m great with murder mysteries that feature the same detective, but I struggle with fantasy series because I often forget everything that happened in the previous books by the time I get around to reading the next book…!! 😉
Ha, that makes sense. I used to just reread the series, but that’s more difficult now somehow!
I’ve almost had it up to here with the Throne of Glass series, I just haven’t been feeling the new direction these last couple books have been taking. But I guess I will suck it up and hate read the final novel… 😛

I might agree with you… once I catch up.
The LAdy Trent books have been on my list for a while, and I read the first Invisible Library book and need to get to the rest!

They’re so good!
I NEED to read more of Cogman too!

The series is so good.
