5 Popular Series I Haven't Read Yet!

Hi bookworms! It's Wednesday again so you know what that means! Today's post is about popular series I haven't got around to yet... Personally I feel that I read a lot but being on bookstagram and talking to people makes me think I don't read at all! There's just so many books to read and not enough time! Hopefully making this list will hold me accountable and make me finally read them.

Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas

Here's a super popular series that almost everyone has read. I currently own the first and last book in this series (I got the last book as a gift). Part of why I haven't read these yet is that there's so many books and they're all really long! I've also heard that many people either love it or hate it and I'm scared if I don't like it I own two of them. However I've had friends pester me about reading them and I've been having more spare time so expect to hear me talk about them soon! All I know about this series is that there's a girl who is sent into a competition to assassinate other people but it branches far off from there.

​The Lunar Chronicles by Marissa Meyer

So I am really embarrassed I haven't read this yet, as I've had Cinder on my shelves forever. The only Marissa Meyer book I've read so far is Heartless, and it was my favourite book of the month I read it. I really don't have any reason why I haven't picked this up, aside from how many book there are. I find that the longer a series is, the more daunting it feels to start it. I feel that I'm making a big commitment, that's probably because I always try to finish series in close succession because I don't want to forget anything that happens. All I really know about the first book is that it's a retelling of Cinderella and that there's cyborgs.

​Renegades Trilogy by Marissa Meyer

Another Marissa Meyer series! I recently bought the second book in the series so the chances of this happening are soon. The plot of this trilogy is very intriguing to me, since I love superhero stories so much. Looking forward to these!

Shadow and Bone Trilogy by Leigh Bardugo

Leigh Bardugo is well known to everyone in the ya bookish community and everyone loves her work. I've also heard amazing things about her Six of Crows Duology which is set in the same world (I think?). I have the first book and I've read a couple pages of it before. From what I read I enjoyed it alot and thought her writing was interesting.

​Legacy of Orisha by Tomi Adeyemi
Picture

I own Children of Blood and Bone and it's another one that's been on my shelves for too long! The covers are beautiful and I've heard even more beautiful things about the books so far. Not all of the books are out for this series, which might also be why I haven't read these. Apparently the first book ends with a cliffhanger so I'm glad the second book is out already. It's also been compared to Harry Potter and I'd love for some Harry Potter vibes right now.

​Well that's all folks! Unfortunately these are only a few really popular series that I haven't picked up yet. I'll do another one of these soon so hopefully it'll encourage me. What are some popular series you haven't read yet? Let me know in the comments below! Have a great day and keep reading.

Reader Problems Book Tag

5/13/2020

Happy Wednesday bookworms! This week's post is the Reader Problems Book Tag! This tag is all about problems that readers face everyday. I was feeling like doing a book tag and this one stood out to me. Now let's get into it!
1. You have 20,000 books on your TBR. How in the world do you decide what to read next?
Picture
Since most of my books come from the library that's a big factor. I typically like to walk around the YA section and pick something that catches my eye. If I don't have time for that, I usually pick whatever I'm in the mood for that has good reviews. I also am trying to read the books I have on my shelves, so I try to get through those as well.

​2. You're halfway through a book and you're just not loving it. Do you quit or are you committed?  
I really don't like to DNF books. Something about it is that I'm too stubborn, and leaving the idea of a book not being finished is something I can't do. Sometimes I have to return a book to the library so I'll promise myself that I will eventually read it. I like to know that the book is finished and I got everything I could out of it.

​3. The end of the year is coming and you're so close, but so far away on your Goodreads reading challenge. Do you try to catch up and how? 
Picture
I'm going to try my hardest to reach the goal by reading manga, short books, and graphic novels. If I absolutely can't reach it then I usually change the goal to something more achievable within the timeframe.
Picture
​4. The covers of a series you love do. not. match. How do you cope?
Picture

This doesn't really bother me very much. What's inside the books is more important than the covers. As long as they all look good I would get over it quickly. (Fun fact: I haven't actually read The Diviners trilogy but I've heard so many people complain about the constant cover changes)
Picture

​​5. Everyone and their mother loves a book you really don't like. Who do you bond with over shared feelings?

I usually look to my friends, who normally have the same opinions as I do. If they don't feel the same way or haven't read it yet, I'll look on the internet or goodreads to hear other people's thoughts.
​

​​​6. You're reading a book and you are about to start crying in public. How do you deal? 
I'd either go the washroom, try to get away to be alone, or try to subtly cry. Though if worse came to absolute worse I'd have to stop reading (Difficult I know!) Books that make you cry are usually some of the best books, but with those I usually have a book hangover and feel a little listless for a while.

7. A sequel of a book you loved just came out, but you've forgotten a lot from the prior novel. Will you re-read the book? 
Picture

I'm actually having this problem right now with Aurora Burning! I don't remember everything about Aurora Rising and I'm contemplating whether I should reread it or not. I usually don't have time so I read a summary of the book if I remember most of it. I am considering rereading books, but I rarely do it since I have so much to read. 
Picture

​8. You do not want anyone. ANYONE. borrowing your books. How do you politely tell people nope when they ask?
I would probably tell them the truth, in that I really can't give any out because they are so important to me. If that wouldn't work then I would probably tell them that it's at home, or being read by a family member.


​

​9. Reading ADD. You've picked up and put down 5 books in the last month. How do you get over your reading slump?
I look for books that are very highly rated. Or I look for books that are written by my favourite authors, or possibly short books (as well as graphic novels and manga). I also look up recommendations on youtube and blogs for books that will help you get out of reading slumps. If these don't work I'll pick up random books until one of them hooks me. If that STILL doesn't work I'll stop reading and let the urge to read come to me.

10. There are so many new books coming out that you're dying to read! How many do you actually buy? 
I actually borrow most of my books from the library so probably not a lot. Also I absolutely love this mini-series called Book Nerd Problems on the Epic Reads Youtube. They are hilarious and talk about buying book struggles a lot!

​

11. After you've bought the new books you can't wait to get to, how long do they sit on your shelf before you get to them?
Whenever I buy books they tend to sit on my shelf for a while since I prioritize library books (I have to return them!) However if I'm really excited for it, I'll get to it as soon as I can.

That's it for the Reader Problems Book Tag! I had lots of fun doing this tag and I flew through it. I hope everyone has a great day! And keep reading!
