Top Ten Series I Want to Start
Friends, I have something like a compulsive series-starting problem. Or maybe a series-unfinishing problem. So finding new series that I haven’t started yet was actually really hard. There are a few newer series on here, but there are a good number of older ones, too. They are all series that I’m curious about and anxious to get reading!
1. Abhorsen by Garth Nix. I can’t believe I haven’t started this series yet. It’s honestly a little ridiculous. My bestie Alyssa keeps insisting that I start them, and my other bestie Brittany bought me SABRIEL. I will fix this.
2. Dreamdark by Laini Taylor. It goes without saying that Laini Taylor’s Daughter of Smoke and Bone series is one of my favorites. I have wanted to read Laini Taylor’s first series for a while now, even though fairies and I are sometimes love-hate. Hopefully because it’s Laini, this will be love.
3. The Demon’s Lexicon by Sarah Rees Brennan. This series always reminded me of Supernatural, so that makes me extra excited to read it. Now that I’ve read the first book (but, hello, not the next two) of Sarah Rees Brennan’s Lynburn Legacy books, I’m even more excited.
4. Something Strange & Deadly by Susan Dennard. If you guys know me even a little bit, you might know that zombies are not really my jam, and I hear that this is what’s going on–at least in some part–in this series. That being said, I still want to give it a try. I’ve always heard such good things!
5. Rebel Belle by Rachel Hawkins. Whenever I feel like reading something fun and humorous with a touch of paranormal goings on, I always think of Rachel Hawkins. This series, which revolves around ancient guardians known as Paladins, sounds even more up my alley than Rachel’s other books.
6. Steelheart by Brandon Sanderson. I looooove the Mistborn series. I’ve been gearing up to listen to book 3 because the audio is excellent. But all of Brandon Sanderson’s books appeal to me. Can’t wait to start this one…eventually.
7. The United States of Asgard by Tessa Gratton. I’m sorry, did you say Vikings? STAHHHP I’M INNNNN.
8. Dissonance by Erica O’Rourke. I’ve heard LOTS of excellent things about this series, and HEY! It just started! The parallel universes angle sounds so interesting.
9. Antigoddess by Kendare Blake. Ooooh, dying gods? Unrest? Yes, please. I’ll take any and all mythology retellings that I can get my hands on.
10. Bloodlines by Richelle Mead. I tore through the Vampire Academy series a few summers ago. Like, couldn’t stop reading them once I started. I hear great things about this series, too. And hello, Adrian. *winks*
I have the Susan Dennard series on my list! (I had SUCH a hard time with this so I had to narrow down – I only included completed series but I want to read ALL THE BOOKS.) I’m SO HAPPY that you mentioned the audio of the Mistborn series! I literally no kidding just booted up my computer and on my list beside of me is a note to check on that audio! OMG! Great minds, Amy! Anyway, we obviously have a ton of similar interests so I basically could add your entire list to my to-read list because if I HAVEN’T clicked it on Goodreads, that doesn’t mean I haven’t thought about it. I want to read all of these. (:
I actually have Daughter of Smoke & Bone in my list, and hopefully I will like it! I just started it today, actually. I have Bloodlines in my list as well! I also hope you like Rebel Belle because I did 🙂 haha
I’m very curious about the Abhorsen series, too. I’ve heard great things about it. There are so many books that I need to read. It’s crazy.
I thought both Something Strange and Deadly and Rebel Belle were a lot of fun, but I haven’t read the other books or book in the series yet, either.
Great picks. Some of these are series I am dying to read myself – Steelheart, Something Strange and Deadly and Rebel Belle, they all look AMAZING! I hope you can get to some of these soon 🙂 TTT.
Oooh I’m so intrigued by The United States of Asgard! I’ve never heard of some of the series on your list, so thanks for the recommendations!
BLOODLINES! That’s all that really matters from that list. 😛
Adrian and Sydney are one of my favorite OTPs. I hope you’ll get to it soon! 🙂
ABHORSEN! I read the series prior to blogging, and I loved it. I’m overdue for a reread actually, so that’s definitely going to be happening at some point – especially because I want to read Clariel! Also, I really loved the Something Strange & Deadly series. Such great characters, and excellent storytelling!
