Top Ten Series I'd Like To Start But Haven't Yet (13)

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly feature hosted by The Broke and the Bookish

Between the ages of 17 and 22, I kind of abandoned my YA reading. So I’ve missed out on quite a few amazing-sounding series. Here is JUST A FEW of the ones I have to catch up on. I assure you, there are many, many more and I am very much aware of all of them (yes I AM feeling the self-imposed pressure).

1. Fire and Thorns Series by Rae Carson 

I love fantasy so this one's totally right up my alley. I also recently picked up an e-book of it, so even though I'm abroad, I'll probably get to it on the sooner side of life. Not to mention, a lot of the bloggers I follow have wonderful things to say about it, so I'm all excited. But I'm kind of picky about fantasy so I hope I'm not getting too excited. Hype can really kill a book, y'know?

2. Starcrossed Series by Josephine Angelini 

Alexa gave me a copy of the first one, so even if I wasn't into Greek Mythology, I'd be getting to this one sooner rather than later. Not to mention I've also heard really good things about this one.

3. Daughter of Smoke and Bone Series by Laini Taylor 

My cousin, who loves books but is A LOT more literary than I am and doesn't always see the the merit in YA books (not in a negative way but in a "you do you, I'll do me" kind of way), says he listened to this audiobook and he really enjoyed it. So if THAT'S not a stellar recommendation, I don't know what is. Plus, the cover's pretty awesome.

4. Angelfire Series by Courtney Allison Moulton 

I have never read an angel book before. People have told me I should read Cynthia Hand's Unearthly Series. But I guess I'm gonna need you guys to tell me which one to read first (you like how I sneakily added a 4a to this list? I know I do).

5. Across the Universe Series by Beth Revis 

The title is the same as a Beatles song. I'm already a fan. But also I like the sound of the summary. And the covers. And the idea that the third one was sent into space? Was that really a thing that happened? I don't even know, you guys.

6. Jessica Darling Series by Megan McCafferty 

I'm pretty sure I listed this one on my Top Ten Books I Resolve to Read in 2013 list. Everyone's always gushing about Jessica Darling and I like being in the know (aka how my love affair with Shatter Me began). So there's that.

7. Graceling Realm Series by Kristin Cashore 

Another fantasy that everyone seems to love. I've picked it up and put it down in Barnes and Noble more times than I care to admit but I think this going to be the year I get to it. Especially since it also made the Top Ten Books I Resolve to Read in 2013 list...

8. Books of Faerie Series by Maggie Stiefvater 

I love all things Maggie Stiefvater AND the 3rd book has a pub date (year?) so I think it's a sign I need to get to reading this series. Also: FAERIES.

9. Gone Series by Michael Grant 

I normally don't like to read series that are longer than 3 books. Or rather, I think my favorite kinds of books are stand-alones. I hate the wait. But the summary on this one sounds too good to not at least try, six books or not. Besides, they're all out, so I'll just power through them. Or try. They're also really long. BUT THE SERIES SOUNDS SO GOOD.

10. For Darkness Shows The Stars Series by Diana Peterfreund

I bought this one because the cover was so pretty I couldn't help myself. But I'm also interested in the content, I swear. It's not particularly high on my TBR list right now, but I definitely want to get to it. I will get to it. I just need there to be more reading time in my life, y'know?

So that's my list, sneaky number 4a tucked in there and everything. What's on your list? Do we have any overlaps? Do YOU know which angel series I should read first? Come, chat with me in the comments below and TELL me I'm not the only one slacking on my series!
