So I'm doing a different kind of post today. I have been recently going through all of my TBR preparing my challenge for finishing series I have started and not finished. While going through this is dawned on me just how many series I've bought and not yet started.
So today I'm going to talk about five series that are on my shelf completely unread.
Under the Never Sky Trilogy by Veronica Rossi
I can't even tell you how long this series has been sat unread on my shelf. It's definitely more than three years. I love sci-fi series so this one sounds right up my street and I can't really explain why I haven't picked it up yet. Every time I cull my bookshelves I am reminded that I have this series and I know it's something I will more than likely love. It's just finding the time to get around to it.
The Young Elites Trilogy by Marie Lu
This YA dystopia series has been on my radar for so many years. The books themselves haven't actually been on my shleves for that long. I believe I picked them up about a year and a half ago and still haven't got around to them. Not only have I not read this series, I haven't actually read anything by Marie Lu. I have so many friends who love her books that I feel a little ashamed to admit that I haven't read any of her work. Hopefully I will get around to starting this series soon.
The School for Good and Evil Trilogy by Somain Chainani
I absolutely adore retellings in book form. That is what drew me to this book in the first place around 5 years ago when it first released. I still look at it now and think it sounds like something I would really enjoy. I have the full trilogy now sat unread on my shelf and yet again, it's another one that I tend to forget about and then when I look at it on the shelf think, yes, I would love that series. I can't really explain why I haven't read it before now.
The Nightshade Trilogy by Andrea Cremer
Now this one I can vividly remember getting. It was around 6 years ago, just after I'd read the Twilight series and this one sounded so awesome. I preferred the US covers so ordered them specially... and I still haven't picked any of them up. Why? Because I remember wanting to wait until the third book was out so I could binge read the series... and then I saw all the mixed reactions (and angry reactions) about the ending and it kind of put me off reading it. I still fully intend to read this trilogy, otherwise I'd have got rid of my copies before now... I'm just a little apprehensive.
The Grisha Trilogy by Leigh Bardugo
Okay, now this one I kinda feel like I need to run and hide after writing this, as I know this series has such an enormous fanbase. I actually met Leigh a few years ago when she did a signing with Sarah J Maas. I initially went for Sarah but after hearing her talk about the books immediately bought all three of this trilogy. I even own the first book in the spin off series... I just haven't read it. And... I don't really know why. I love YA Fantasy so I have no doubts that this is the kind of series that I'd love... I just need to get around to it.
So there are five series that I have on my shelf that I have not yet started. Have you read any? Are there any that I need to bump up on my TBR? Are there any that maybe I should just forget? Let me know!
