10 Series I Keep Meaning to Finish
This post is inspired by 10 Series I Keep Saying I'll Finish Soon (I'm Lying So Bad) by @PaperFury (a.k.a. C.G. Drews).
1. James Bond series
I love the James Bond films, and always watch them as soon as they are released, but I only got round to reading the first book, Casino Royale, this year, and haven't got any further yet, despite really enjoying it.
2. Valerie Hart series
I only discovered this series this year, when I read the second in the series, Lovemurder, but I absolutely loved it and yet haven't read any more in the series yet (not even the first one).
3. Maigret series
Having really enjoyed the Maigret TV episodes that I've watched, starring Rowan Atkinson, I read the first in the series, Pietr the Latvian, last year. It was a fairly short and thoroughly enjoyable read, and yet I still haven't read the next one.
4. D.I. Kim Stone series
I discovered this series last year when I read the second book, Evil Games, and immediately resolved the read the rest of the series. Yet here I am.
5. Philip Marlowe series
Raymond Chandler's crime noir series is a classic, and I fell in love with his style of writing when I read the first in the series, The Big Sleep, last year.
6. Harry Hole series
Jo Nesbø is synonymous with Scandi-noir thrillers, and I really enjoyed the first in his gritty series, The Bat, when I read it two years ago. I've also had his Macbeth on my to-read list for far too long.
7. Benson and De Vere series
After winning the second in the series, Summary Justice, in a Goodreads giveaway, I bought and read its predecessor, Blind Defence. It was a fantastic read (I love its original twist on a familiar genre), which set up what looks to be a very promising series, yet, despite owning the next book in the series, I still haven't read it.
8. In Death series
I love the In Death series, and have read an incredible forty-five books in the series, but am currently one behind, with another book in the series due out in September, having not yet read Dark in Death.
9. A Series of Unfortunate Events series
My friends rave about this series, but it somehow managed to pass me by when I was growing up.
10. Inspector Morse series
Since I go to Oxford University, and have done now for three years, I feel like I'm letting the side down by never having read any of the Inspector Morse series.
