Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl.
This Week's Top Ten Tuesday Topic:
Series I want to Catch Up On/Finish
While I love a good standalone, I'm a sucker for a series. Following a couple, or a cast of characters, getting to know them and the changes in their lives, watching as their relationships and circumstances change over the course of the series... I'm there for it.
But on the flipside, that always means that at any given time I have a lot of in-progress series. Some are already complete and I need to finish them; some are still ongoing and I just need to get caught up.

I haven't read any of these series but I'm also in the middle of quite a few!
ReplyDeleteAngela - It's hard to stay on top of them all sometimes!
DeleteI've only read A court of Thorns and Roses, and stopped there... Yes, I know I am in the minority here!
ReplyDeleteHope you get to these ones soon....
Elza Reads
Mareli - I was surprised at how invested I got in the ACOTAR series considering I am not a fantasy reader!
DeleteI love that Pet Shop Boys song!! Thanks for sharing. I love series for the same reasons you do. I hope you get the time to finish these.
ReplyDeleteWendy - It's such a great feeling to continue on with characters as their lives change and grow. I love that. :)
DeleteYou need to finish Nine Minutes! That second book is probably my favorite in the series, but all of them are so good!
ReplyDeleteDeanna - I know, I know! LOL I think the books are even on KU, and I still haven't made it happen. I really need to reread the first book because it's been years.
DeleteThe only one I've read on here is the ACOTAR books. I've been meaning to try Rayne's, Bennett's and Singh's series though cos I've heard good things about them! I hope you enjoy these books/series whenever you get round to finishing them :)
ReplyDeleteDini - I know Sawyer Bennett has a huge backlist but it wasn't until this Pittsburgh Titans series that I was led to try her. Loving this series, though!
DeleteI just LOVE the psy changeling books and you also should pick up the novellas as well. They are amazing. She even has some dominant/submissive pairings in those and are super well done. I am always focusing on series to finish haha there are so many good ones out there.
ReplyDeleteHope you enjoy these series here and finishing them up.
Renee - I think I have read all of the novellas and bonus stories up to where I am, I just didn't list them (that was a long enough list as it was! lol). I definitely plan to keep up with all the bonus material! :)
DeleteBtw, I tried to comment on your new releases post earlier but I'm not sure it went through. I got an error message. And when I tried to comment again it said I couldn't make a duplicate comment. *bangs head against wall* So, not sure if it actually went through, but I tried!
It can be difficult to have several series going on at the same time! Here is our Top Ten Tuesday. Thank you!
ReplyDeletePoinsettia - It's always the same problem: too many books and too little time. :)
DeleteI like how you have set this prompt out.
ReplyDeleteI loved ACOTAR and need the next one to come out!!
Have a great week!

Emily - I'm not a fantasy reader so I was surprised at how hooked I got on ACOTAR!
DeleteThis list is amazing! I definitely want to read all of these books.. I read one Sarah Maas book and absolutely loved it. But I still haven't read more.. Weird really?! LOL!!
ReplyDeleteMaureen - Many years ago I read SJM's Throne of Glass but it didn't thrill me and I never continued the series. ACOTAR, though... I was hooked! :)
DeleteSuch an apropos song! I haven't read Maas but I think my daughters are all over those right now ha
ReplyDeleteGreg - How great that your girls are readers, too!
DeleteIt's funny, a couple years ago they had no clue about the books I blogged about, and now they have shelves full of all the books we see all the time! :)
DeleteI need to finish that Nalini Singh series, too! :D
ReplyDeleteLark - I only started the series this year so I have a long way to go!
DeleteSame! I just love sinking into a compelling book world and getting to know characters over time. Like you, though, I'm stuck in the middle of a bunch of series, probably even more than I actually remember. The struggle is real.
ReplyDeleteHappy TTT!
Susan - Oh yeah, I had no issue coming up with ten series that I have in-work. Because there are many more than this! lol
DeleteI haven't read any of these, but am definitely interested in Court of Thorns & Roses. I have a bad habit of reading 1 or two in a series and if I have to wait for the next one, it just kind of fades away. I do better when I can binge a completed series. Hope you enjoy the books.
ReplyDeleteTerrie @ Bookshelf Journeys

Terrie - Sometimes the wait between books is so long that I forget everything about the previous book(s). That happened with the Outlander series. With years (and ears) between books, I was just no longer invested.
DeleteI've only read the A Court of Thorns and Roses series, and I did enjoy A Court of Silver Flames, so hope you will too!
ReplyDeleteLindsey - Fingers crossed that I'll enjoy ACOSF!
DeleteI like companions as there is no pressure to run out and read the follow up to see what happens next, but also lets me slip back into a world I loved. Bennett's series is one I definitely seeing myself continue. I just need to buy the books. LOL
ReplyDeleteSam - That Sawyer Bennet series really took me by surprise. I am so invested in those characters.
DeleteI've read the ACOTAR series. I really loved Silver Flames and Nesta. It's definitely the spiciest of the series, which doesn't mean much either way for me - I just really related to parts of Nesta and kind of fell in love with her journey.
ReplyDeleteI like series, but I have a hard time keeping up with them so they aren't my favorite thing to start. LOL
Lauren @ www.shootingstarsmag.net
Lauren - I've never been a big fan of Nesta so that's actually why I haven't started ACOSF yet.
DeleteOf these, SJM's is the only one I've caught up on. I'm almost ashamed of myself for not being caught up with JLA's since I've always loved them so much.
ReplyDeleteAlison - I don't know why I've been putting off the JLA book! Maybe because there's no telling when the final book is coming out.
DeleteLOL! Yeah, I totally get that!
DeleteI haven't read a series in so long. It feels weird because I was committed to so many years ago.
ReplyDeleteKaren @For What It's Worth
Karen - I would miss my series! :)
DeleteOh goodness, I can't wait until you read ACOSF!
ReplyDeleteSuzanne - I'm so not excited about Nesta's story but everyone tells me my mind will change.
DeleteI am behind on Maas's series too. Here's hoping we catch up!
ReplyDeleteKimberly - I haven't been excited for Nesta's POV so I keep putting it off. lol
DeleteYes! Psy-Changeling! They only get better, too! Although, I did look up my ratings and Blaze of Memory (book 7) was 3 stars. I think after Kiss of Snow (book 10 Sienna and Hawke's story ) they're all 5 star reads! The overall story arc is exciting too!
ReplyDeleteRachel - Hm, that's interesting about Blaze of Memory. Something about that one didn't thrill you as much as the others, obviously.
DeleteI love a good series but I am horrible about keeping up with them. I am trying to finally prioritize some of the series that I have enjoyed and it has been great!
ReplyDeleteCarole - It is hard to keep up with so many ongoing series but I try to prioritize them because I enjoy them so much.
DeleteI haven't read any of those books. I generally read stand alone books, but always look forward to the latest book in the Class Mom series 😁.
ReplyDeleteLucy - I'm not familiar with the Class Mom series. I'll have to look that up. Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteI can't wait for the final book in the Origin Series to come out! I've been trying to be patient after she left us with that cliffhanger *cries*.
ReplyDeleteJen - I know! The wait for that one has been so long!
