Welcome to Top Ten Tuesday! Hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl, this week it is Series I’d Like to Start/Catch up on/Finish. This is an interesting one as I haven’t read a series for a while.
Series on my shelves:
Miss Marple books by Agatha Christie
I thought that I should make a start on collecting some Agatha Christie novels and went for Miss Marple. I kept buying them, but then not spending the time reading them. I have read a couple, but have many more to go!
His Dark Material books by Philip Pullman
A few years ago I saw that Philip Pullman had a new series out that looked quite good – The Book of Dust. I hadn’t actually read (or seen!) His Dark Materials series so I thought that I should start with that!
Eddie Flynn Series by Steve Cavanah
I saw one of the Eddie Flynn books on the BBC programme Between the Covers. I decided to buy it and absolutely loved it! When I realised that it was part of a series I had to get the rest of the series. Since then he has had a couple more books out which I have duly bought, but I still need to read!
Crescent City Series by Sarah J Maas
I absolutely loved ACOTAR and when I saw this series coming out I had to get it. I have still yet to read it, but I am looking forward to it!
The Dark Artifices by Cassandra Clare
I loved The Infernal Devices and The Mortal Instruments series, so when I saw this coming out I got the first two. I have yet to read either of them and have just ordered the third one!
Down series by Glenn Cooper
I have the first two so need to read these and then get more! I have loved Glen Cooper’s other books so I have high expectations for these!
Series on my wishlist:
American Royals series by Katharine McGee
I have read the first one and loved it! The other two are currently on my wishlist.
Finlay Donovan Is Killing It by Elle Cosimano
I read the first one and really enjoyed it. The next one is currently on my list and when the next one is out that will be making it’s way on there too!
Bridgerton by Julia Quinn
I have read the first two. I thought the first one was ok and I absolutely loved the second one. I therefore didn’t commit to the others straight away, but I wouldn’t say never, especially with series 3 coming out!
Throne of Glass by Sarah J Maas
After loving ACOTAR I have had my eye on this series for a while!

I find with some series, I have to take a break or I start to nitpick them too much. I put the Poirot novels my list this week but I tend to read them in spurts -one or two then a break because they start to all “feel” the same.

I agree. Also the way I review books, the reviews would be pretty samey if I read and reviewed a series in one go. I would have to spread the reviews out 😂

I’ve really enjoyed the Crescent City series so far, and I was really reluctant to try it for some reason! I think if you loved ACOTAR you’ll really like it as well (and same with TOG). 🙂 I started the His Dark Materials series ages ago and never finished, I really should. Hope you get to all of these!

I hope so 🤞🏻
I’ve never even started it, but I got the series for Christmas 2 or maybe 3 years ago …

I have had the Sarah Maas novels on my TBR for a very long time now. I just never seem to get to those. Hopefully soon though.
And I’ve loved the first five Bridgerton books. Funny enough I loved the first book a lot more than the second one.

It’s the size of them!
The thing is that I watched the Netflix series before reading any of the books and it was so much better than the book. I kept waiting for things to happen in the book that never materialised. The second book had me laughing and I actually preferred that to the series!

I’m slowly working my way through Christie’s catalog of books. She wrote so many that it’s going to take me a while to get through them all!

They do! I enjoyed the first one. I need to heavily hint to my family that I would like the next one for Christmas. The UK is a bit behind the US when it comes to publishing these books.

I loved His Dark Materials when I was a tween. I reread them last year and was surprised at how painfully slow the pacing is. I still love them though!

My sister read them, but I never did. I shall see if I can cope with the pacing!!
I was worried that when I read Midnight Sun by Stephenie Meyor that I would have lost my love for Twilight as it has been so many years since I read it, but I didn’t!!

So many great series on your list! I have yet to read a Maas book, but I own the entire Throne of Glass series on kindle. It’s such a commitment! I’ve also only read the first two Bridgerton books, but I have picked up the rest of the series, finding the paperbacks very cheap. I’ve read the first two books in The Dark Artifices and I enjoyed them, but I’m a fan of waiting until the entire series is out, so I think you were smart to wait. There’s such a long time between books, and I tend to forgot so much of what happened. 🙂
I hope you get to pick some of these up soon!

Yes that series did seem quite a lot and I haven’t embarked on it yet!
I got the first two Bridgertons for 99p each on Kindle and thought that I would give them a go. I think the library does them so I will probably go that route for the rest.
Thank you and as I read so many books these days it will be easy to get mixed up!
Thank you. Same to you!
