Top Ten Series I Haven't Finished



'Top Ten Tuesday' is a weekly meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish. This week's topic is 'Top Ten Series I Haven't Finished'.

Abandoned (for now at least)

1. The Millennium Trilogy by Steig Larsson I enjoyed this novel, but not enough to jump into the second book in the trilogy. I found The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo overly long and not as fast-paced as I expected. I might someday pick-up The Girl who Played with Fire, which I already own, but it's not next on my to-read list.

2. Maze Runner Series by James Dashner The Maze Runner was an enjoyable book, and I think my lack of interest in picking-up the next in the series might be from the place I was in when I finished the first book. I would recommend this novel, I just personally did not what to run out a pick up the next book after finishing the first.

3. The Selection Trilogy by Kiera Cass I really disliked The Selection and can probably safely say that I will probably refrain from reading the next in the series. You can read my review here.

4. Perfect Chemistry Trilogy by Simone Elkeles I also disliked Perfect Chemistry. I finished it over a year ago and still have no desire to read the second novel. You can read my review here.

5. Last Survivors Trilogy by Susan Beth Pfeffer This novel was pretty good, but I felt that the next novels in the trilogy did not have much to expand upon and the reviews that I have read were only so-so.

6. Ender's Saga by Orson Scott Card I really liked Ender's Game and would highly recommend it. That being said, I don't know how much I would enjoy the rest of the saga, and therefore have yet to drive into the next books.

On-hold/Procrastinating

7. Ashen Winter (Ashfall #2) by Mike Mullin I am pretty sure that Ashen Winter has yet to be published, but my lack of attention to the publication date should be indication enough that I am not running out to purchase it the day it comes out. The first in the series, Ashfall, was excellent and I will most likely eventually read Ashen Winter.

8. Rage Within (Dark Inside #1) by Jeyn Roberts I liked Dark Inside, but with not much of a cliffhanger I am not too eager to pick it up, once it's published.

9. Prized (Birthmarked #2) by Caragh M. O'Brien Owned, just on-hold. I can't wait to read Prized, I just haven't found the time yet.

10. Crossed (Matched #2) by Ally Condie I only somewhat enjoyed Matched  and am still hemming-and-hawing over reading Crossed. I received a free copy so I might eventually read it ... let me know if it's worth the time.

11. Monsters of Men (Chaos Walking #3) by Patrick Ness I so want to read Mosters of Men, but I've left so much time pass since reading The Ask and Answer that I really want to re-read the first and second novel before finishing the trilogy. I just have to find the time ...

Bonus: Eagerly Awaiting (i.e. counting down the freaking DAYS until published!)


Requiem (Delirium #3) by Lauren Oliver

Divergent Book #3 by Veronica Roth (Divergent review here.)

Light (Gone #6) by Michael Grant (Gone review here.)

Days of Blood and Fire (Daughter of Smoke and Bone #2) by Laini Taylor (Daughter of Smoke and Bone review here.)
