Top Ten Tuesday: Finished Series I Have YET to Finish
Don’t we all have those book series that we just haven’t gotten around to finishing? That’s exactly the topic of this week’s Top Ten Tuesday, hosted by The Broke and the Bookish. All book covers from Goodreads.
Top Ten Finished Series I Have YET to Finish:
1. The Chronicles of Narnia by C.S. Lewis
This is a series I really do hope to finish one day. The Magician’s Nephew is definitely one of my favorite fantasy books. I think if I got a really nice hardbound collection of the entire series, that would be a good enough incentive for me to finally finish it.
2. Cirque du Freak by Darren Shan
I wish that I could go back in time and retroactively make my younger self finish this series, as I’m sure teenage me would have loved it.
3. The Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien
I know, I know – “What, you’re a fantasy writer and you haven’t even read the entire LOTR series?!?!” This is one of those series that pretty much everyone except me has already read and enjoyed. One day I’ll finish it…
4. Dune by Frank Herbert
This is a series I would probably learn a lot from writing-wise, if only I could actually sit myself down to finish it!
5. The Jenna Fox Chronicles by Mary E. Pearson
I absolutely LOVED The Adoration of Jenna Fox when I read it during my YA phase as a teenager. I didn’t realize that there were sequels until a while later. I hope the rest of the books are as good as the first.
6. Stravaganza by Mary Hoffman
An intriguing depiction of an alternate universe version of Italy! This is another YA series that I might have outgrown, so even if I finished the series now, I probably wouldn’t enjoy it as much as my younger self would have.
7. Ender’s Game by Orson Scott Card
My younger brother dropped some spoilers from the rest of the series, which intrigued me enough to consider picking up the rest of the books.
8. Artemis Fowl by Eoin Colfer
My only real excuse for why I haven’t read this series is that I stumbled upon them fairly late. This is another series I think my younger self really would have loved had I finished it.
9. Modern Faerie Tales by Holly Black
This is probably the series I have the most chance of finishing in the near future – I would only have one more book left to read (Ironside). Considering that I’m an urban fantasy writer, I really should pick up the last book in the series, now that I think about it.
10. Xenogenesis by Octavia Butler
I read the first in the series for a Science-Fiction class I took in college and thought it was fantastic. I’d love to find out how the intriguing premise plays out in the rest of the series.
Which series have you still not finished?
