Top Ten Tuesday: Ten Finished Series I haven't finished (or in most cases I haven't even started)

It is my destiny to be behind on YA series. I own so many books that are first in a series that I have yet to read, even though everyone and their uncle has read and loved them. And I'm obviously not very good at completing dualologies!  So here is a list of series that I am behind on, and probably haven't even started yet. 

Hosted by: The Broke and the Bookish

I own the first book, but haven't read it yet

1. The Darkest Minds Trilogy by Alexandra Bracken

I think I bought the first book in this series when it first came out, and I still haven't read it! I also own the sequel, sooooo I should really get on it.

2. The Defiance Trilogy by C.J. Red Wine

I haven't owned this one for too long, but I'm really excited to get into it. It sounds like an action packed read. Plus that red hair on the cover is to die for.

 

3. The Hourglass Trilogy by Myra McEntire

I actually forgot I owned this one as it has been at my apartment all summer, so hopefully I will get to this series soon. I love the covers of this series, and the time travel/control elements sound awesome.

 

4. The Bronze Horseman Trilogy by Paulina Simmons 

This trilogy is a pretty big commitment, since all three books are eight hundred plus pages, but I think this epic historical romance will be a perfect winter read.

5. The Thursday Next Series, Jasper Fforde

I'm really excited to get into this literary inspired mystery series! I have heard great things about it, and I own the first two novels in the series. Fforde sounds like he has a great creative mind, so I can't wait to get into this world. 

I've read part of this series but haven't finished it yet 

(or don't plan to) 

 

6.  The Cemetery of Forgotten Books Trilogy by Carlos Ruiz Zafon

I read and loved The Shadow of the Wind earlier this summer, and I was a little surprised to find out the novel had a sequel because the ending of the first book wrapped everything up. This sequel takes place a couple of years after the first novel I believe, but I'm not sure if I'm going to read it or not. There is also a third novel, which I just discovered existed two seconds ago!

 

7. For Darkness Shows the Stars dualology by Diana Peterfreund 

I really loved For Darkness Shows the Stars which was a sci-fi YA retelling of Austen's Persuasion, so I don't know why I haven't picked up the companion novel Across a Star Swept Sea which is a retelling of The Scarlet Pimpernel. I have heard quite a few people say they actually like that novel more than the first, so I need to but this one on my To-Buy List.

 

8. To All the Boys I've Loved Before dualology by Jenny Hann

I thought To All the Boys I've Loved Before was a really cute read, and I have had the sequel out from the library a few times this summer, but I just never seem to be able to get to it! I might pick this one up in the future but I'm not sure yet.

9. The Lux Series by Jenifer L. Armentrout

I read the first four books in this series, but I don't have any interest in reading the final book. I read all first four books in like five straight days, I couldn't put them down, but I've just lost interest in the series and found that the sex scenes have replaced the plot, so I'm okay with not reading the final book in this series.

 

10. The Code Name Verity dualology by Elizabeth Wein 

I'm hoping to read this one really, really soon. I LOVED Code Name Verity but it was such an emotional read that I needed a break between the two companion novels, as I think that Rose Under Fire will be even more emotional than Code Name Verity.

Let me know which of these series I should complete (or start) right away!
