Top Ten Series That I Need To Start Reading

Top Ten Series That I Need To Start Reading

June 20, 2017 Posted by angelreads Features, Top Ten Tuesday 11 Comments

Top Ten Tuesday is an original feature/weekly meme created by The Broke and the Bookish. Each week they post a new Top Ten list that members at The Broke and the Bookish will answer. Everyone join as you please. This week’s topic is Top Ten Series That I Need To Start. 

There are so many series that I want to start reading, too many to count really, but here are some that I want to hopefully read in the next year. Like always these are in no order. 

TTT Series 1

The Diviners by Libba Bray: This series has been on my TBR for such a long time. I am highly certain that I am going to like it. I don’t even know why I haven’t picked it up. It’s historical fiction and paranormal – a lot of things that I like there.  

The Bone Season by Samantha Shannon: I am so ashamed that I haven’t read this series – you have no idea. I meet Samantha when The Bone Season came out and she was here for promo. And I still haven’t read it. I don’t even have an excuse. 

Monsters of Verity by Victoria Schwab: I have just recently read the first 2 books in the Shades of Magic trilogy and loved it. So I am slowly trying to make it through Victoria’s other series and I am so excited. Think this one is the next on my list.  

TTT Series 2

The Nevernight Chronicles by Jay Kristoff: A lot of my friends are going to hate me for this one, but I really have to be in the mood for high fantasy, especially if it’s more on the adult side. And I just never have been. In saying that I will get to this series, one day. 

Code Name Verity by Elizabeth Wein: If you have been here for a while you might that that I love historical fiction, especially when it has to do with wars and conflicts that are similar. Earlier this year I read The Peral Thief and while I didn’t love it, I cannot wait to read the Code Name Verity duology. 

Goddess Test by Aimee Carter: It is based on mythology, need I say more.  I love anything and everything to do with mythology and I’ve had this series sitting on my shelf for quite some time now. I really hope that I get a chance to read it soon. 

TTT Series 3

The Medoran Chronicles by Lynette Noni: Most people I know that have read this series have really enjoyed it. Including my younger cousin that keeps on begging me to read it. I do have the first book, so I will try soon. 

Paranormalcy by Kiersten White: After reading And I Darken and Now I Rise, I knew that I needed to read some more books from Kiersten White. And this series seems like it’s right down my lane. 

Legend by Marie Lu: This series has been on my TBR for quite some time now and I will get to it soon, hopefully by the end of the year. It just seems like a series that I can fly through and really enjoy. 

TTT Series 4

Study Series by Maria V. Snyder: Again another series that I have wanted to read for such a long time, but I have just never had the chance to pick it up. I really want to though, I think I would really enjoy it. 

And that is it for this week! What series do you want to dig into? Have you read any of the series above? Let’s Chat! 

I love talking so talk to me over on my twitter @angel_reads, Facebook, instagram, and Goodreads. You can also follow Angel Reads on Bloglovin and via email (in the sidebar)

    I had no idea you hadn’t read NN yet! You definitely have to be in the right mood for it though the world building is amazing but a lot to take in. I haven’t started The Bone Season either XD

    Hope you love Nevernight and Arkarnae when you get around to them!

    Ahh, how could I have forgotten about The Goddess Test and Paranormalcy?! I was so excited about both of them when they came out, but I just keep putting them off. I read Aimee Carter’s other trilogy earlier this year, though, and I absolutely adored it – maybe that’s a sign that I should hurry up and read more of her other novels!

    Great picks!

    1. The Diviners is a freaking amazing series! Read it ASAP! I know, I know. The length is intimidating, but honestly the pages flew by, I was so engrossed in the narrative. But in saying that, I love historical fiction. And the Jazz Era.
    2. Liked The Bone Season okay-ish, haven’t continued on yet, not really that motivated to, tbh.
    3. Legend is fantastic! I love the clever characters and fast-paced plot and world-building. Still haven’t read the last one!
    4. Poison Study is another great series, and I love Maria V. Snyder! Definitely a must-read. Only read #1 and #2 so far though.

    Great picks! All the others are on my TBR. I’m terrible with completing and starting series… :/

    Ooh, The Diviners and This Savage Song are two of my favorites! Poison Study and Code Name Verity have both been on my TBR for ages– I know I’ll love them, but I just haven’t started them yet (isn’t that how it always goes?). Great list!

    The Goddess Test series is amazing! I think I’m still missing the last one, but it’s such a good series.

    I want to read The Bone Season as well. Soon!

    Here is our Top Ten Tuesday.

    I’ve only read Paranormalcy and The Goddess Test, sadly I never finished either series but I just am really bad with finishing series.

    I have so many of these on my list, too! Like the Legend series and The Bone Season. I’m hoping to start collecting the Poison Study series over the next few months. I’m very excited! If I fall in love with Iluminae, I’ll try to check Nevernight

    I love Code Name Verity, I hope you enjoy it too! I liked the first Monsters of Verity book but not as much as the Shades of Magic trilogy. I just started The Bone Season but it’s been good so far. I have the Study series on my TBR but as always have left it languishing there for a long time!

    I’d like to read the Monsters of Verity series, too! Everyone raves about it. I haven’t read any of the author’s other works, so I need to work on that, too!

    I cannot recommend The Diviners and Nevernight enough! They are SO good and easily some of my favorites. 🙂 I’m also really intrigued by Goddess Test and want to see what it’s all about some time. Great list – I hope you get to some of these soon! 🙂

I have a love-hate relationship with this series. I have a love-hate relationship with this series. But I ended up really enjoying this one. It’s best friends to fake dating to-lovers. It’s always been you, bad-boy/good-girl, and I loved that. While Save Your Breath has quite a few tropes, it really leads itself to it, and it works. 

Aleks and Mia have known each other for years now. Since they were teenagers, that angst has been building up this whole time. And you can tell right from the get-go, it’s fantastic. I even wanted more of it, because I love pain. When Aleks went to live with Mia’s family as a teenager, sparks flew, but for many reasons, they both put their feelings aside. And well, now they are not only going to be fake-dating, but they might as well be engaged, too. 

I really enjoyed seeing how both Aleks and Mia both tried to hide how they were feeling throughout the whole ‘fake-dating’ situation, but anyone could see it. They know each other as no one else does. Aleks has a lot going on, and while I do think this was brushed over a little too much, Mia is his centre. Mia is a massive music star and is a female in the industry, so yeah, people don’t respect her. Obvsiouly because why couldn’t a female star be badass and write about the things that she has gone through? Aleks and Mia get each other, and that is very clear from the start; they are both just trying to squash everything. We get to see them slowly start to show how they feel, and well, one night it all explodes. 

Overall, I enjoyed this one a lot; it’s not my favourite of the series, but I had a great time reading it. I liked Aleks and Mia a lot as characeters and while I think the mental health aspect could have been explored a whole lot more, I can see why it wasn’t. The romance was slow and spicy, the angst was great, and the payoff for these two was what they needed.

Well February wasn’t the best reading month. I onl Well February wasn’t the best reading month. I only ended up reading 3 books in. 3 pretty fun books but one of my slowest readings months in a while. 

And I’m going to be honest here it’s because I’ve been constantly reading Heated Rivalry fanfics. 🤷‍♀️ I’m having the best time though. 

How was your reading in February? Any 5  star reads?
