This week's Top Ten Tuesday is about series books we've been meaning to read. I've always had a complicated relationship with series. Despite an early infatuation with Babysitter's Club and Sweet Valley High, I shunned series for awhile. I'd always seem to start them and never finish. Probably the only longer than 3 book series I've ever completed is Lemony Snicket's SERIES OF UNFORTUNATE EVENTS (is that kind of sad?). I still have some ARTEMIS FOWL books to catch up as well and I have three books left to go in the THURSDAY NEXT series.
Most series I've finished have been dystopian trilogies. For example, HUNGER GAMES, CHAOS WALKING series by Patrick Ness, DELIRIUM series by Lauren Oliver, THE CHEMICAL GARDEN series by Lauren DeStefano, BIRTHMARKED series by Caragh O'Brien, ACROSS THE UNIVERSE series by Beth Revis, THE FOREST OF HANDS AND TEETH series by Carrie Ryan, THE COLD AWAKENING series by Robin Wasserman, and of course I'm still in the middle of a ton of other dystopian series (although I've given up on some of those too).
That said, there are still some series I'm looking forward to starting.
1. The JESSICA DARLING series by Megan McCafferty. I am starting SLOPPY FIRSTS soonest.
2. The BEKA COOPER series by Tamora Pierce. Can you believe I've never read anything by this acclaimed fantasy author? Shameful!
3. The DEMON'S LEXICON series by Sarah Rees Brennan. I read "Undead is Very Hot Right Now", Sarah's short story in THE ETERNAL KISS anthology and I loved it, so ...

4. UNEARTHLY series by Cynthia Hand. Kind of cheating because I did read the first few chapters of book 1 before I lost it. But bloggers I trust have raved about this series, so I'm going to track it down.
5. SECRET SOCIETY GIRL series by Diana Peterfreund. First two books were a gift from Carla!
6. TOMORROW series by John Marsden. I have the first two books in this series too, and it's kinda dystopian so why haven't I started yet?!
7. A RESURRECTION OF MAGIC series by Kathleen Duey. I met Kathleen in Bologna way back when and bought the first two books. When is the third coming out?
8. THE DARKEST POWERS series by Kelley Armstrong. I got the first three books really cheap one year at the Frankfurt Book Fair. So maybe.
9. MIDNIGHTERS series by Scott Westerfeld. I kind of want to check these out. I got the first one at a used book store.
10. CURSE WORKERS series by Holly Black. These books sound really good. I think I have WHITE CAT around here somewhere ...
So many series, so little time!
What series have you been wanting to start? Have you read any of those I mentioned today? And what is your feeling about series in general? Love them? Hate them? Let me know.
