Technically today's topic is "series I need to start," but I actually have fewer series to start than ones I need to keep reading/finish so...
1. The Falconer trilogy by Elizabeth May
I read book one when it first came out in the U.S., and I meant to read book two last summer, but it never happened. Considering the third book came out last week, I really ought to continue/finish this series.
2. Anne of Green Gables by L.M. Montgomery
I read the first book ages ago, of course, and I've read Anne of Avonlea, but I need to read the remaining four books that are counted as the main ones (based on the order in which they were written). I'm kind of holding out until I own them with the covers I like best (seen above), though...
3. Code Name Verity by Elizabeth Wein
So I'm gonna share a secret with y'all... I've actually only read Rose Under Fire. I know I started CNV when I first starting getting into YA books, but I remember it having more foul language than I could tolerate in books at that point. But now that The Pearl Thief is out and I put that on my TBR list, I really should read CNV first, shouldn't I?
4. The Memoirs of Lady Trent by Marie Brennan
One of my best friends is writing a YA dragon story, and someone told her she should read A Natural History of Dragons. I saw her carrying it around campus and decided I had to read it too. I read books 2-4 last month, but I still need to get to book 5.
5. These Vicious Masks by Tarun Shanker and Kelly Zekas
Okay, so book three isn't out yet, but I still need to read book two. *glares at library for not having a copy*
6. RSVP duology by Jen Malone and Gail Nall
As far as I know, this is only going to be a duology but I still need to read book two. Once again, I blame the library for this, though.
7. Murder Most Unladylike series by Robin Stevens
This is due in part to the fact that it's a U.K. series, and so I have to wait for the U.S. editions to release; the first three books have, but books four and five released in the U.K. last year, and the U.S. publisher has yet to release either. (Although book four has a publication date set next April...)
8. The Queen's Thief series by Megan Whalen Turner
On a whim, I bought The Thief at Barnes & Noble towards the end of May, after noticing several bloggers rave about it for years. I found it to be quite satisfactory, so now I need to continue the series, particularly since I've finished a bunch of books for review.

What series do you need to start/continue/finish?
Have you ever used inner-library loans? That's what I do when my library doesn't have a book I'm looking for :)
ReplyDeleteBoth the libraries I use (the one at home and the one where my university is) are county libraries with multiple locations, so that's the only type of inter-library loan I have access to.
DeleteI'm also really hoping to get back into Megan Whalen Turner's series too. My TTT link
ReplyDeleteI too need to read These Vicious Deeds (These Vicious Masks #2). I loved the hilarious banter and premise of the first book and can't wait to see what happens next.

I really enjoyed Code Name Verity, I hope you get along better with it this time.

Ahhh, those are such gorgeous Anne covers! My favorite installment was Anne of Ingleside :) happy reading!

I've always wanted to read Code Name Verity but I really have my doubts about whether I'll enjoy it or not. Same goes for the Falconer which I saw at my bookstore a couple of days ago and I'm more than tempted to go and purchase! Hope you have a great week!
