One of the book blogs that I have recently discovered is The Broke and The Bookish and they had a great Top Ten Tuesday post yesterday, and even though today is Wednesday, I thought it would be great to be part of it.
This week’s topic discusses series that you have not finished for one reason or another. I had to have a good think and I may not manage to make ten, but lets see shall we?
GAME OF THRONES – George RR Martin
I loved the TV series, so thought I would try the books, but I just could not get into it. I have only read about a quarter of the first book. Not sure if I will ever read the entire series, think I may just watch TV instead!
THE WHEEL OF TIME – Robert Jordan
I have read the first three in the series, I enjoyed the first two and found the third one tough going for some reason. Considering that there are 12 in the entire series, I don’t think I am going to get much further but it is always a possibility…
THE LIGHTENING THIEF – Percy Jackson
I started the first book, read about half way, discovered something else I wanted to read and never went back. Will I go back? I don’t know. Has anyone else read it? Is it worth going back to?
INHERITANCE – Christopher Paolini
I read Eragon, half of Eldest and I haven’t read the last two. My niece LOVED the series, so really think I should finish them, eventually! Will definitely have to start at the beginning again though as I have forgotten the story line.
A SERIES OF UNFORTUNATE EVENTS – Lemony Snicket
I read the first one after watching the movie, I enjoyed it, so not really sure why I haven’t read the rest of them.
THE KNIFE OF NEVER LETTING GO – Patrick Ness
I read the first one. I did enjoy it too, wasn’t the best book I have read but it was easy reading. I don’t think I will read the rest of the series though.
SEPTIMUS HEAP BOOKS – Angie Sage
I have read the first four of this series but again, just never carried on reading. I should, they were nice easy reading books, though I think better suited to the younger generation to read…
THURSDAY NEXT SERIES – Jasper Fforde
I LOVE his books! I still need to read the last Thursday next novel as I heard through the grapevine that his next one is due out soon! Ah, Christmas is coming, may have to put them both on my wish list!
CONFESSIONS OF GEORGIA NICHOLSON – Louise Rennison
I LOVED Angus, thongs and full frontal snogging! But I never realised that it was part of a series, guess what I am going to be reading soon!
THE SECRET SEVEN – Enid Blyton
I think I only read a few of these, can’t even remember how far I got, but I preferred The Famous Five! Loved it, read all of them, but secret seven, not so much…!
Ok, so I really had to dig deep for that last one! And you, fancy joining in on the meme, if so, let us know in the comments, maybe one of us will find a new author or series to read…
Yay, you did it! I couldn’t even get into the blurb of Game of Thrones, so that was a no-go for me. I really want to read the Lightning Thief. As for Secret Seven, almost forgot about them… I reckon I didn’t read the whole series either 😛
Didn’t really enjoy Lemony Snicket much, but I’m thinking of trying it again.
I also MUCH preferred the Famous Five and think I read every book. I just could not get into the Secret Seven.
I have not read any of the other books on the list.
