Top Ten Series I Haven't Finished



Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish.
 
This week's topic:  Top Ten Series I Haven't Finished
 

1.) A Song of Ice and Fire by George R.R. Martin-I loved A Game of Thrones and I can't wait to continue with the series, I just have a ton of other books to read first.
2.) Eve series by Anna Carey
3.) Delirium series by Lauren Oliver
      I read both of these books around the same time and I feel bad for not continuing with either of these series but I didn't love them enough to feel like I HAVE to read the next book right now.
4.) The Mortal Instruments by Cassandra Clare-I was very disappointed with book 4 and have heard mixed reviews of book 5.  I will read it eventually, I just am not ready to be disappointed again.
5.)Wicked Years by Gregory Maguire-I have read 3 of the 4 books and have checked out the 4th book twice from the library. I really want to read it but obviously not enough to move it to the top of the TBR pile.
6.) Book of Ember by Jeanne duPrau-I probably won't finish this series.  I liked the first book but didn't really care much for the next two and am not super eager to read the fourth.
7.) Dark Tower series by Stephen King-I love this series and I definitely want to finish it, I just have to be in the right mindset to read it.  I hope I will feel like reading the third book soon.
8.) Jessica Darling by Megan McCafferty-There's a part of me that wants to keep reading this series but Jessica Darling gets on my nerves.  I don't know if I could stand to read five more books about her.
9.) The Tea Rose series by Jennifer Donnelly-I am curious to find out what happens in the rest of this series it's just that the books are so long! 
10.) The Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien-I loved The Fellowship of the Ring but it was pretty dense so while I do plan to read the rest of the series, I am not going to plow through it.

What series have you not finished?

    That's a bummer to hear about Books of Ember. I liked the first one too. I thought about finishing out the series when I had the time but I guess I shouldn't now.

    I hope you get around to finishing LOTR and ASoIaF, both were fantastic (though it's good that you're taking your time with ASoIaF as it's going to be forever before GRRM finishes the 6th volume =( )

    I also listed The Dark Tower series this week, I read the first novel but haven't been compelled to check out the rest of the series.

    I was disappointed about the fourth TMI book as well, but the fifth one definitely made up for it. It was probably the best book in the series after City of Glass, of course. (:

    Great list!

Review and Giveaway: "Distant Signs" by Anne Richter

Synopsis: Distant Signs is an intimate portrait of two families spanning three generations amidst turbulent political change, behind and beyond the Berlin Wall. In 1960s East Germany, Margret, a professor’s daughter from the city, meets and marries Hans, from a small village in Thuringia. The couple struggle to contend with their different backgrounds, and the emotional scars they bear from childhood in the aftermath of war. As East German history gradually unravels, with collision of the personal and political, their two families’ hidden truths are quietly revealed. An exquisitely written novel with strongly etched characters that stay with you long after the book is finished and an authentic portrayal of family life behind the iron curtain based on personal experience of the author who is East German and was 16 years old at the fall of the Berlin Wall. Why do families repeat destructive patterns of behaviour across generations? Should the personal take precedence over

Mailbox Monday (49)

It's time for another Mailbox Monday post!  Once again I could not resist the cheap ebooks that Amazon and Barnes and Noble were promoting this week.  I really need to stop!  I already have more than I can read.  I also was able to spend a little time browsing at the library and I came home with a nice stack of books.  These days, I hardly ever get to spend time at the library by myself for more than a minute or two so it was wonderful to have time to just wander and see what I could find. Purchased (for kindle): The Color of Secrets by Lindsay Ashford The One I Was by Eliza Graham House of Bathory by Linda Lafferty   Purchased (for nook): One Night in Winter by Simon Sebag Montefiore  Becoming Queen Victoria by Kate Williams From the Library: The Messenger by Daniel Silva   The Ripper's Wife by Brandy Purdy Hotel Moscow by Talia Carner Brazen by Katherine Longshore What books did you get this week?

Mailbox Monday (78)

 Happy Sunday everybody!  September is over and I can hardly believe it.  It seems as though the month has flown by.  Now I'm excited for fall and all of the upcoming holidays.  October is the start of my favorite time of year and I'm hoping there will be plenty of room for reading in between all of the upcoming events. I requested some new holiday books from the library and had no idea all of my holds would come in at once so I need to get moving on these.  I'm really excited to dig into some sweet, fluffy reads and these will do just the trick. From the Library: A Snow Country Christmas by Linda Lael Miller This is the fourth book in a series that I really enjoyed so I'm eager to get started on it. Holly and Ivy by Fern Michaels The Christmas Room by Catherine Anderson I was so intrigued by the cover on this one that I had to pick it up. For Review (from NetGalley): I Was Anastasia by Ariel Lawhon     I really need to st
