Top Ten Tuesday is a monthly meme created by The Broke and the Bookish and you can find all the info and upcoming prompts Here.
This week’s prompts is: Top Ten Series I’ve Been Meaning To Start But Haven’t (topic originally done March 2013) — anyone else have a mile long list of series to start like I do??
1. The Lunar Chronicles Series by Marissa Meyer
So I have been meaning to start this series for ages! I bought Cinder sometimes last year but still haven’t picked it up. I read Heartless, also by Marissa Meyer and also a retelling and didn’t enjoy it. It wasn’t horrible, but I just didn’t enjoy it, you can find my review for that review HERE. I will be reading Cinder in July as the Book of the Month for a Goodreads group YA Book Bloggers, feel free to join us if you are are YA book blogger haha!
2. Shades of Magic Series by V.E. Schwab
I honestly have no excuse as to why I haven’t started this series! I own the first book in the series but just haven’t picked it up yet! I really want to try some Victoria/V.E. Schwab as I have heard so many amazing things about basically all of her books! I will probably read the first book soon as I am on a book buying ban and I want to get my physical TBR down a tonne before buying anymore books, so I will read this soon.
3. Daughter of Smoke and Bone Series by Laini Taylor
I have read Strange the Dreamer and it is my favourite book so far this year! I wanted to read this series before reading Strange the Dreamer, but since reading it this series is a lot higher on my TBR!
4. Monsters of Verity Series by Victoria Schwab
So, another Victoria/V.E. Schwab series! Like I said before there is so many good comments about her books and that makes me want to read them! Also I have been told that The Savage Song has no romance.. If that is true, then that is awesome! I don’t know about Our Dark Duet as it only released a few days ago and I haven’t seen a tonner about it yet, but I do avoid reading reviews for books I haven’t read, so it may have been mentioned, but I just haven’t seen it!
5. Passenger Series by Alexandra Bracken
I am reading The Darkest Minds by Alexandra Bracken right now and enjoying it so far! But even before starting The Darkest Minds this book was on my TBR! I also haven’t really read any books about time travel so that is really intriguing me!
6. Dorothy Must Die Series by Danielle Paige
So this was one of the first retellings I ever added to my TBR! And I still haven’t got to it yet!! It seems like there is a tonne of books when you look at the series page on Goodreads because there is 9 prequels to this series, 9!! I think that is what kinda throws me off because each of them are around 100-150 pages! So that is basically 2 full novels before the actual series! And I do want to read them in order as they are prequels. I do still want to read this series though!
7. Percy Jackson and the Olympians Series by Rick Riordan
So I have been meaning to read a Rick Riordan book in years! But I still haven’t and this one kinda includes Percy Jackson and the Olympians, The Heroes of Olympus, The Trials of Apollo & Magnus Chase, The Kane Chronicles and the Gods of Asgard series. So basically all of Rick Riordans books haha! I definitely want to start a Rick Riordan book soon!
8. The Witchlands Series by Susan Dennard
So this is only the first 2 books as there is still 3 books to come out! Bloodwitch is the next one but it doesn’t have a cover yet. The world and magic system in this book sounds so interesting and everyone is talking about this book lately and I really want to get in on the hype!
9. The Gold Seer Trilogy by Rae Carson
For one thing these covers are gorgeous! The main reason this is on my TBR is that it is a Fantasy Historical Fiction book! That just sounds so intriguing to me as I’m pretty sure I haven’t read a fantasy historical fiction before, I might have, but I don’t think so! So this is really interesting to me and I’m keen
10. Frostblood Saga by Elly Blake
Again, these covers are gorgeous! This is actually a trilogy but Fireblood actually isn’t out until September and Nightblood isn’t out and doesn’t have a cover yet to use! This book was one of my highly anticipated from last year but I never got around to it! But I really want to get to it soon! It sounds amazing and its very highly praised!
Well that is all for today! I know I missed yesterdays Down the TBR Hole as I just literally forgot! So I will probably do it tomorrow or Thursday!
THIS IS SUCH A GOOD LIST

Ive already read the Lunar Chronicles and Frostblood and LOVED both! I actually got to meet Elly Blake in January and she’s so sweet! She also lives about 45 minutes from me which is cool.

That’s amazing! I am yet to meet an author. 😫 But that’s the struggle of living in the middle of nowhere.

I live in Ontario Canada far away from where any authors usually visit so I was lucky to attend at least one event

I need to read the Shades of Magic series too! Good gravy, it looks so amazing, and there’s not really a good reason I haven’t read it yet.

It’s the same here! ADSOM has just been sitting on my shelf for ages and I have no good reason as to why I haven’t picked it up!

There are a lot of great series on this list. I loved the Lunar Chronicles as well as The Daughter of Smoke and Bone books. I’ve also wanted to start Shades of Magic.

Thanks! And hopefully I love those two series just as much! If The Daughter of Smoke and Bone is anywhere near as amazing as Strange The Dreamer I will love it! And hopefully I’ll be able to at least start Shades of Magic soon! 😊
