This week’s Top Ten Tuesday, hosted by The Broke and the Bookish is: Top New Series I Want To Start. They suggested “New” as in the last year or so, but I think I’m just going to go with series in general. There are some I’ve been meaning to start for awhile.
1. Harry Potter by J.K. Rowling Yes everyone in the book blogging world has read this series except for me. I saw one of the movies…
2. Daughter of Smoke and Bone by Laini Taylor. I’ve heard great things about this series and I even own the first book, I just haven’t started it yet.
3. The Infernal Devices by Cassandra Clare. I complained in my review of the last book of the Mortal Instruments series that characters from the Infernal Devices made appearances and I didn’t understand the full impact of it. AND everyone says this series is way, way better than TMI.
4. Snow Like Ashes by Sara Raasch. Mostly because I like the cover!
5. Jasper Dent by Barry Lyga. I think this book looks really interesting! AND I just realized there’s 3 books already published in the series!
6. Outlander by Diana Gabaldon. I haven’t seen the tv show, but everyone seems to be watching it. I read a review of one of the episodes that compared it to the book and the book actually sounded better (though the show sounded good, too).
7. Firebird by Claudia Gray. Again, the cover!
8. The Fine Art of Pretending by Rachel Harris. Because I love the fake relationship trope and this book is taking forever to come off the waiting list at the library!
9. Tomorrow, When the War Began by John Marsden. I’ve heard great things about this book and even hosted a guest review and a giveaway of the book and have STILL to read it!
10. Titan by Jennifer Armentrout. Despite the awful cover and my trepidation of it being NA, Seth was probably my favorite character in the Covenant series, so I need to see what happens to him!
WHAT SERIES ARE YOU LOOKING FORWARD TO STARTING?
You’ve got some great series in that list! The two series I’m looking forward to starting are Game of Thrones and the Sookie Stackhouse series.
I read the Sookie Stackhouse series and enjoyed the first several books (there are lots of differences from the show!), but the last few books really went downhill for me. I hope you enjoy, though!
I hope you like Harry Potter! I LOVE it! Daughter of Smoke and Bone is really good too! I think Infernal Devices is better than Mortal Instruments, but then again I really liked Mortal Instruments! I’m going to be starting the Rune Blade series soon, because my sister’s been bugging me to read it. 🙂
I highly recommend Harry Potter. It’s all kinds of awesome! 🙂
I’ve got Daughter of Smoke and Bone on my list too. I own the first TWO books, and I haven’t read them.
I didn’t put series that had just started on my list, but if I had, A Thousand Pieces of You would definitely be on the list!
1 and 2 are a MUST! Ha ha!
I didn’t really like The Infernal Devices.. I barely made it through book 1. But then, I quite liked TMI. Soo.. *shrugs*
Great list!
You’re the first person I’ve heard say they prefer TMI to TID. I’m just not ready to jump back into the Shadow Hunter world right now, but I’ll read it eventually.
We could almost have the same list, haha. I want to read almost all of these too. Of course, they weren’t all on my TTT list, but it still counts. Don’t feel bad about not reading Harry Potter yet. I haven’t finished it either. I got to book four and stopped. I need to read it sometime soon though. Great list!
Thanks! I look forward to hearing what you think about some of these once you read them!
Daughter of Smoke and Bone, looks amazing, cannot wait to read it. Hope you enjoy it. 🙂
Thanks!
Outlander is the best, and the series is really good.
OMG! You’re late to the Harry Potter party too? I’ve actually started it and I am not disappointed in the least. But I’m stuck on book 3 because I have a lot of other books to read and I’m trying to save HP for the holiday break. I highly recommend The Infernal Devices… HIGHLY (I think I may have already told you this hehe). Daughter of Smoke and Bone and Outlander are on my list also. Great list, Steph! Looks like you’ll have some lovely reviews coming up 🙂
Thanks! I’m glad to hear so many on this list are worth reading!
