Would you look at that! My 100th Top Ten Tuesday post (created by The Broke and the Bookish) on this blog. A 100 seems like so many! I can’t quite imagine that yet it is true.
And for this week the topic is series you have been meaning to read. Do you have a minute? I’ve been meaning to start so many. But I decided to focus on those books I actually own or partly own, and have been staring me in the face for a while now. So let’s not chat away and start that list.
⌘
- Hidden Sea Tales by A.M. Dellamonica / Pirates
- Themis Files by Sylvain Neuvel / That cover
- Temeraire by Naomi Novik / Dragons
- Mistborn by Brandon Sanderson / Sanderson…
- The Stormlight Archive by Brandon Sanderson / Promise of good fantasy
- Kingkiller Chronicles by Patrick Rothfuss / Promise of good fantasy
- Wayfarers by Becky Chambers / Diverse sci-fi
- Under the Never Sky by Veronica Rossi / Recommendations
- Half Bad by Sally Green / Witches
- Chaos Walking by Patrick Ness / Author is often recommended
- Black Magician trilogy by Trudi Canavan / I hear her name a lot when it comes to female fantasy authors
- The Bone Season by Samantha Shannon / It just sounds good
- Skulduggery Pleasant by Derek Landy / This has been recommended often
- Lumatere Chronicles by Melina Marchetta / I don’t know why I haven’t started this yet.
- Silber by Kerstin Gier / I enjoyed the Precious Stone trilogy
- Kingdom on Fire by Jessica Cluess / Those covers…
- Wintersong by S. Jae Jones / That cover
- Constellation by Claudia Gray / Curious to see how this series is by her
- Three Dark Crowns by Kendare Blake / A little out of my comfort zone but I’ve heard good things about the author
- Fire and Thorns by Rae Carson / I only hear good things about this
And many, many, many more…
A Dance With Books

Half Bad (I have the first book), Chaos Walking (I have books one and three), and Fire and Thorns would be on my list, too. Remember to tell me when you are reading Half Bad, and I will read it with you. I did read the prequel novella and didn’t care for it, but fans of hers told me the the trilogy is way better. We shall see. Ha ha. 🙂

Congratulations on your 100th TTT! I can’t remember when I started, but I definitely haven’t been participating as long as you have. I haven’t read any of the series on your list, but I have read Half Bad by Sally Green three times. I love it so much, but I’m nervous about continuing on with the series because I feel there’s going to be DEATH and PAIN and SADNESS.

From reaction from others that I know have read it I think you might be right about that.

Mazel tov on your 100th Top Ten Tuesday! Wow– this blows me away. I can’t even imagine doing 100 of these. Holy buckets. Keep up the great work.
I love the format you’ve taken here. It’s so simple. Do you really own a copy of at least one book in each of these series?! Wowza. I just finished Sleeping Giants last night. It was really engaging. I strongly recommend the Themis Files! I also adore epistolary novels, so that helps. Fire and Thornes is also a super fun series. Personally, I didn’t enjoy Chaos Walking, but I am not a huge fan of Patrick Ness’s writing.
Great list! Good luck reading them all. Where do you want to start?

I also just started and finished Sleeping Giants since this list posted, haha, and am on Waking Gods. I enjoyed it. And in August I’ll be buddy reading the first Fire and THorns book with someone. Other than that I do not know.
I did enjoy A Monster Calls by him so maybe I will like Chaos Walking. 🙂

The cover of Wintersong is gorgeous and initially, I was so excited to start it. But then I`ve heard some negative reviews and I`m not sure what to think anymore. Because the plot seems interesting, but the story is filled with so many bad tropes.
