Top Ten Tuesday is an original weekly meme created by the team at The Broke and the Bookish. This week’s theme is actually Ten Finished Series I Have Yet To Finish, but I usually marathon series from start to finish, so I couldn’t really think of any series that I’ve started but haven’t finished. I decided, instead to feature finished series that I have yet to start (and want to start). As always, my list is in no particular order.
Mistborn by Brandon Sanderson:
This is on a lot of people’s all-time favourites list. I’ve been recommended this numerous times so I definitely need to get to it some time this year!
Chaos Walking by Patrick Ness:
This is a trilogy that I never paid very much attention to but recently it’s been catching my attention at every book store I go to. The concept of it sounds very interesting and it seems like something I’d enjoy.
Lumatere Chronicles by Melina Marchetta:
I’ve been recommended Finnikin of the Rock so many times in the past month that I picked it up at the beginning of August on National Bookshop Day. I’m excited to read it sometime in the next few weeks.
Divergent by Veronica Roth:
I know, I know. I should’ve read this a long time ago, but I’m not a very big fan of dystopians. I wanted to start the series when Allegiant came out but I was spoiled so I ended up not reading it. I bought Divergent in July so hopefully I can finally get around to reading it in the coming months.
The Summer I Turned Pretty by Jenny Han:
I’ve had this trilogy on my shelf for about 4 months. I keep forgetting that I own these books so I still haven’t read them yet. I’ll probably read them in December when it’s summer in Australia. I loved Jenny Han’s To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before duology so I’m sure I’ll love this trilogy too.
The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins:
Another dystopian trilogy that I wasn’t keen to read. I’m thinking of marathoning the books and the movies before Mockingjay Part II though. Because I feel really left out when even my non-bookish friends discuss The Hunger Games.
The Study by Maria V. Snyder:
A couple of people recommended The Study series to me in July when I was at a meet-up. Since then, I’ve been seeing a lot of rave reviews around so I’m really keen to pick this up at some point.
Percy Jackson and the Olympians by Rick Riordan:
PJO is a very well-loved series that I haven’t read. I’m a little intimidated by how many books Rick Riordan has out. But I promise to read these very soon!
Daughter of Smoke and Bone by Laini Taylor:
This is Katytastic’s favourite series and I’ve been meaning to pick these up since the first time I saw her talk about them. I’ll get around to these sometime in the next 12 months…..
Shatter Me by Tahereh Mafi:
I’ve always wanted to pick up the Shatter Me series but other books keep getting in the way. Now that there’s a TV show in the works, I’ll have to read this trilogy before the show airs.
Which of these series have you read and loved? Which one of these should I read first?
We’re like the total opposites you binge series I just read the first in like every series haha! I want to read Mistborn and Chaos walking SO SO SO SO BAD!!! I read The Summer I Turned Pretty books when I was younger and really enjoyed them! And lately I’ve been itching to start reading the Shatter Me trilogy!! Great list π

I usually just buy the boxset and marathon the whole thing in a couple of days. I guess I’m just really impatient.
I want to read all of these before the end of the year but that’ll never happen. Hopefully I can knock at least 2 or 3 off the list.

I never realized that The Knife of Never Letting Go was a series until today! I’ve been seeing it everywhere too, it seems, though I haven’t read it.
I like The Hunger Games books, but honestly, the movies do such a good job that I’m not sure reading is essential. I know I did not enjoy Mockingjay at all.

WOAH Shatter Me is going to be made into a TV series? Holy heck. I wonder how that’ll pan out.

Great list! You definitely won’t be disappointed with the Mistborn trilogy π I haven’t read Percy Jackson as well and I know what you mean about feeling left out, my best friend loves it and I can’t relate to her stories so well because I’ve never picked it up lol.
I haven’t heard of The Study series before so I think I’d go look for that.

I need to finish Daughter of Smoke and Bone trilogy too. I just read book 2 which I liked a lot but I feel like the books are SO SLOW because she writes sooooo much description. Which is nice but um it’s like 550 never ending pages haha. π I would say you could probably skip The Hunger Games books because the movies do an amazing job. And HA, I say this as a diehard book fan lol. (btw I am currently rereading Tomorrow when the war began because I love that series and I miss living in AUS. :))

I have done the PJO is one I have done and I say don’t mind the size! There are a few of them but the books in that series are not very long and you can get through them pretty easy. Its the follow on series, which I have yet to do, where they get pretty big and many. I hope you enjoy them!

I read the first two Divergent but I have to admit, after I saw the movie. I thought the movies did a pretty good job… and I’m the same way with Percy Jackson, haven’t read them so I’ll probably just start w/ the new one next month.
