Top Ten Series I've Been Meaning to Start

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

Well, this is a top ten list I can accomplish easily enough considering that, as many books as I read, there are like four I've been failing to get to for everyone I read. Here are the top ten series that I'm so excited to read I've even started acquiring the books, but have yet to actually read. I've included the number of books in the series as known to-date.

1. Anna by Kendare Blake

Books in Series: 2

This is one of those series it seems like everyone has already read, and Blake's second series begins this year. I really want to catch up!

2. Gallagher Girls by Ally Carter

Books in Series: 6

This series looks like so much fun, and I've heard how hilarious it is from multiple people. Once I read this, it will be time to move on to Heist Society.
 

3. Sevenwaters by Juliet Marillier

Books in Series: 6

I've been told by so many trusted friends that I will freaking love these books so hard. Not only that but the description suggests that they are super right. Unfortunately, the books are also long and my review pile is tall. However, I will get to these someday, because I want to read ALL of Marillier's books, and I've been told in no uncertain terms to start with these.

4. A Song of Ice and Fire by George R. R. Martin

Books in Series: 7

Of course I want to read this series, because, hello, I really want to see the show, and I've been told it's best to read it first. Oh, and, of course, I've heard that the books are pretty much amazing, so there's that too. But, again, they're massive. Also, the series isn't done yet, which means I would forget what had happened waiting for the next books, so I probably won't read this for a while, sadly.

5. Damar by Robin McKinley

Books in Series: 2

Robin McKinley is one of those sort of classic YA authors, who wrote good YA before there was much. I read a few when I was a teen I think, but I don't remember them. I've heard this series, which starts with The Blue Sword is maybe her best, and so it needs to happen.

6. Chaos Walking by Patrick Ness

Books in Series: 3

Full disclosure, I actually started this one and promptly DNFed a few years ago because I could not handle the dialect. However, I made it through Blood Red Road, and I've heard nothing but amazing things about Ness' writing, so I'm determined to read this series, even if it's a struggle at first.

7. Anna and the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins 

Books in Series: 3

Okay, so these are companion novels, and don't even have series info on GR, but, whatever, I will read them in order and one after the other, because why not. Also, I saw Stephanie Perkins at a signing this weekend, and she is super awesome and complimented my hair. On top of that, everyone has told me I will love these. 

8. Tatiana and Alexander by Paullina Simons

Books in Series: 3

Dude, the covers on this series are freaking gorgeous. Besides, historical fiction set in Russia? Yeah, I want that. I have a powerful need for that. And The Aussie Zombie vouches for its quality, which is enough for me.

9. The Queen's Thief by Megan Whalen Turner

Books in Series: 6

Wow. So I thought this series was over, but GR says there are two more books coming. Interesting. This is the favorite series of one of my best library school friends, and many bloggers have recommended it as well.

10. Fairyland by Catherynne M. Valente

Books in Series: 3

Freaking everyone loves Valente's series, and I want to be one of them. It sounds awesome, and like something I would enjoy. The first two are just sitting on my shelves waiting for me to get going.
 



If you think it's a crime I haven't read these and want me to get to them sooner, add them to my Sadie Hawkins Sunday list by filling out this brief form, where I read the books my readers suggest. ;)
