I have a really terrible habit of starting a series and reading a few and then not completing it. It’s one of my goals for 2020 to try and finish off some of the ones I already have on my shelf so I thought it would be fun to make a list of all the ones I REALLY need to get to.
1. Godblind – Anna Stephens
This has been one of my favourite series of all time, I read Godblind and Darksoul and they were five star reads, I bought Bloodchild as soon as it was published but I still haven’t gotten around to reading it yet.
2. Caraval – Stephanie Garber
Caraval is much the same as Godblind. I read and adored the first two books, bought Finale straight away, but I haven’t picked it up yet – think I have a problem!
3. Six of Crows – Leigh Bardugo
I was very late to the Six of Crows party but I read Six of Crows last year and loved it. Crooked Kingdom was one of my high priority reads for the end of the year but I never got to it, despite reading pretty much everything else Leigh Bardugo has written.
4. The Raven’s Mark – Ed McDonald
The Raven’s Mark series is just incredible and I think part of the reason I haven’t picked up the third and final book is honestly I just don’t want it to end. The second book also broke me a little bit and I’m sort of scared what Ravenfall might have in store for me.
5. Sweep – Cate Tiernan
I read and loved the Sweep books growing up and I’ve been slowly revisiting them as an adult. I own copies of them all but I’ve currently only reread up to book nine. I’d really love to get the final six read in 2020!
6. Rebel of the Sands – Alwyn Hamilton
I was going to a book event and Alwyn Hamilton was the chair so I thought I might pick up Rebel of the Sands to see what it was like. I ended up binging it in one day and I bought books two and three at the event. Even though I gave it five stars I still haven’t gotten around to reading the last two books in the series.
7. Impossible Times – Mark Lawrence
Mark Lawrence’s time travel series has been such a brilliant fun series to read over the last year and I am really excited to get to book three. It only came out this month but I’m putting it on here so it doesn’t become like some of the others I haven’t picked up.
8. Throne of Glass – Sarah J. Maas
Throne of Glass is an odd one for me. I read and really enjoyed the first three books a number of years ago, but haven’t picked up the rest in the series. I’d probably have to reread them now to remember the story, and I’m not entirely sure I would enjoy them as much as my taste has changed a bit since then. It would be pretty interesting to give them a go though!
9. Red Queen – Victoria Aveyard
Red Queen is much the same as Throne of Glass, I read and loved the first few but I’m not sure how I would feel reading them years later. I would love to know how it all ends though so I definitely think I should try picking them back up!
10. DC Icons – Various Authors
When this series came out I was so excited because I love the DC Universe. I read book one Wonderwoman Warbringer and loved it. Book two I really enjoyed and I bought a copy of book three but haven’t read it or number four. I haven’t heard all that much about either but I’d really love to finish the series off.
So those are just some of the series I really need to get to this year. Are there any series you would love to finish in 2020? Let me know!
Impossible Times for me, too. Robin Hobb’s Liveship Traders trilogy. I’m almost finished with book one, and loving it, and I want to read the three of them in quick succession, because it’s all one (really long) story. I also want to get to The Wise Man’s Fear by Patrick Rothfuss, as I read The Name of the Wind last year. What else? The In Death series by JD Robb, the Lightbringer series by Brent Weeks, the Imperial Radch series by Ann Leckie – and so many more. I need to stop starting shiny new series, and finish a few!

I’m totally the same, need to stop being distracted by all the shiny new ones and finish the ones I’ve already read and loved. I really need to get to some Robin Hobb too I’ve never read her books but think I would absolutely love them. Hope you get to them all soon!!

I also stopped reading th Red Queen series and I think it was because they stretched the story and the rebellion wasn’t happening.

See I heard mixed things about some of the later books and I think that’s part of what put me off. I would really love to go back and read them though just to complete the series!

Yeah. The not finished series does start bugging you at some point. It bugs me too, but I am kind of lazy to finish it off.
