Finished Series I Have Yet to Finish | Top Ten Tuesday

I’ve decided to alternate between Top 5 Wednesday and Top Ten Tuesday, because both memes have interesting topics that I want to do.

This weekly meme was was created by The Broke and the Bookish.

Ten Nine Finished Series I Have Yet to Finish

I am an expert at dropping series, often for no good reason. Sometimes I just wait too long to pick up the next book that I just can’t be bothered at all. I have completed very few series. 

1. THE CHAOS WALKING TRILOGY

I got the next two books from the library, so I’m going to read them both within the next month. I’m not dropping this one!

2. THE ANNA DUOLOGY

I loved Anna Dressed in Blood a lot and I’m planning on reading Girl of Nightmares. Sometime. I need to order it first.

3. THE DIVERGENT TRILOGY

I enjoyed the first book, but not enough for me to be interested in reading the next two. Additionally I’ve heard so much bad things about the rest of the series that there’s no way I’m going to bother. Plus I know how it ends, so it’s not like I’d be reading just to find out what happens either. So eh, this one is definitely dropped. 

4. THE GIVER QUARTET

I’ve read The Giver, but I don’t know if I’m going to continue on with this series. From what I’ve gathered they’re all from different parts of the world, i.e. the sequel won’t deal with the characters in The Giver, so I don’t know. Maybe. 

6. THE UGLIES TRILOGY

I read the first one years ago and I also own the second, but it’s taken me so long between the two books that I don’t really know if I can be bothered picking this series back up. Maybe someday if I suddenly feel like it. There’s also another book, Extras, but that’s more like a spin-off or an companion novel of sorts, isn’t it? And is it just me or does the model on the cover of Specials look so much like Helena Bonham Carter?

6. THE CHRONICLES OF NARNIA

I read The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe when I was 12, but I haven’t read any more than that and probably won’t either. From what I remember it’s a good book though, so I’d recommend it to children. I was a gigantic fan of the BBC TV series though, that was amazing. 

7. THE MISS PEREGRINE’S PECULIAR CHILDREN TRILOGY

I’m cheating a little, because this series isn’t technically completed yet as the last book comes out on September 22nd so a few people have completed it, but I’m running out of series so I’m counting it. I’ve only read the first book, wasn’t impressed, got the second one for my birthday so I’ll get to it eventually. Maybe it gets better. 

8. A SERIES OF UNFORTUNATE EVENTS

I believe there are 13 books in this series, and I’ve read one. They’re very very short and easy to read though, so there’s that. Aren’t they making a TV show of this? I’m excited. 

9. THE RIPLEY SERIES

I read The Talented Mr. Ripley for my crime course in uni and even though I really liked it I haven’t picked up the rest. I guess I’m not that interested in continuing it. The first one was good though and I also like the movie (Jude Law looks stunning it it). If you want to read a novel from the criminal’s point of view then I really recommend this. 

10. ????????? I don’t know, I don’t think I have any more except for some obscure childhood books that I don’t feel like adding. 9 it is!

So there we have it, these are pretty much all of my unfinished finished series, if we don’t count the obscure childhood books. 

 EDIT: I completely forgot about the books I’ve DNF’d, they count too. Those include Fifty Shades of Grey, Eragon (The Inheritance Cycle series), and Marked (House of Night series). The first and the latter were just plain terrible, and Eragon wasn’t really for me even though it was pretty good. Is House of Night even finished? It should be.
