10 Books/Series I Still Haven't Read Yet
Hi Everyone!
Sorry it's been a while but I had so much stuff going on that I had to take a little break but I'm back for good. Anyway I thought I'd write a post about all the books I've been meaning to read but still haven't gotten around too... prepare your Game of Throne shame bell!

I'm hoping this post will finally force me to read some if not all of them but if there one or more I simply must read right away or even better never ever read then do let me know.
Shatter Me
So Shatter Me... a controversial series to say the least. When I first heard of this series I was intrigued but then I heard a lot of mixed reviews. I do own the first book but I was a little put off by all of the strikethrough text when I flicked through it.
With the recent news that Tahereh Mafi will be writing three new books, I thought maybe it's time to give a go?
I haven't read any Maria Snyder, not one book and I've heard such amazing things about the Poison Study in particular. I know there's a few different series set in the same world so I could really binge-read them as I love long series and going from book to book without the pesky year long wait it always bonus.

Poison Study

I know there's a few different series set in the same world so I could really binge-read them as I love long series and going from book to book without the pesky year long wait it always bonus.
The Immortal Rules
I feel so bad for this one. I absolutely love Julie Kagawa and there isn't a book of hers I haven't devoured in a few hours. I haven't read a good book about vampires in a while so I really do need to give this series a try.
Now if I feel bad for not reading just one of Julie Kagawa's series then I feel like the world's worst reader for not reading any of Rainbow's books.
There's no excuse, every single person I talk has nothing but good things to say about one if not all of her books.
Is there one I should start with so I get the Rainbow Reading bug?
Right I've actually read one of these books yay! I absolutely fell in love with The Young Elites, I was blown away and pleasantly surprised by how dark this book was. Adelina was such a complex character, I was fascinated by her and her past. It was so refreshing seeing the main character in a YA fantasy book explore their dark side.
I'm hoping the series gets better and ends well as I have high hopes.
Fangirl
There's no excuse, every single person I talk has nothing but good things to say about one if not all of her books.

The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer
Yet again another series people are loving and I still haven't read it agh!
I know Michelle Hodkin is writing another books in this series and people are freaking about it. My twitter feed erupted with a lot of Noah love? So he must be a big deal yes?
Anyway, must read!
The Young Elites
I'm hoping the series gets better and ends well as I have high hopes.
The Demon King
I love Cinda Williams Chima, I'm a huge fan of her Flamecaster series but I still haven't read her earlier series. I clearly owe all my love to The Demon King as it's set in the same world so I really should have read this a looong time ago.
Truthwitch
I don't even have the excuse that this book is old because it's really not. I remember being really excited for Truthwitch as I loved the premise of having different witches with different powers on the brink of war and of course some romance. But after the mixed reviews upon it's release I never got around to reading it, so I'm determined to read it this year and find out for myself.
Ink and Bone
Again I haven't read any Rachel Caine, I wasn't really interested in her Morganville series but her Ink and Bone series sounded right up my street. I mean who doesn't love to read about books and libraries.
Plus the series has just come to an end so I could binge-read all three books.
The Girl at Midnight
Seriously how have I not finished this series already? I raced through The Girl at Midnight in two sittings. I couldn't put it down, it was one of my favourite reads of 2015. YES 2015! *shame bell* It had everything I wanted from a YA fantasy series and I completely fell in love with the characters, just thinking about them makes me want to read it (yay this is working).
Must buy books two and three and read them straight away!!
Well thats the end of the Cody shaming, I feel awful.
I'm hoping to work on this in the next few months as I'm in such a bad habit of buying news books when I have so many unread and unhappy books just sat in my room agh!
Do let me know if you've read any, good or bad thoughts welcome!
Happy Reading
Honestly, I don't blame you about Shatter Me - I read book one and I just couldn't do it either.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you found it hard too, I really did struggle with it. Such a shame!
DeleteI haven't read any of these either! *twins!!!* I wasn't a fan of the Shatter Me series at all. I semi liked book one but some things happened and I just couldn't....I did finish the series just because I already read books 1-2. Not sure if i'll read the newest books though. I'm super excited to read Poison Study too. My library doesn't have it so hopefully I can find a cheap copy at a bookstore or somewhere. I've always wondered about the Mara Dyer series but still haven't picked it up. Maybe one day! I was just talking to a Twitter friend about Truthwitch. She said there was not one but TWO swoon worthy guys. EEK!! May have to try this sooner rather than later. I'm not big on witches but heard it's a nice read. Love your post and SUPERRRRR happy you are back!! You aren't allowed to leave ever again lol!!! ((hugs))
ReplyDeleteYaaaaay, we can hopefully buddy read them. Whaaat? Uh oh, I might have to give Shatter Me a miss then. I was looking myself, I already have Poison Study but I found books 2 and 3 super cheap online. TWO? No, really TWO? That's it I am reading it! Nothing will have me reading a book faster than swoon worthy guys, shameless!
DeleteAhh thanks so much Jess, you're the best <333
Noah is definitely a huge deal if you read the Mara Dyer series xD I also only have read Shatter Me, Fangirl and Mara Dyer. I need to start on Poison Study and Demon King, I've heard amazing things about them and they definitely sounds like my kind of book. I also don't know why I haven't read Immortal Rules and Young Elites,I love Iron Fey and Legend.
ReplyDeleteTbh most of the time it's because I got distracted with other books haha!
Ahhhh he is? Oh I totally need to get on board then and find out who he is. Oh my god, I know right? Seriously loved Iron Fey and Legend, they were the books that got me really reading YA years ago.
DeleteI'm the same, just constantly looking at new books due out and not the hundreds surrounding me haha!
You should definitely start with Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell, you won't be able to keep off the other books after that :P It's my favourite of all of hers and she's such a great author!
ReplyDeleteFangirl it is then! Yesss that's exactly what I want. Everyone I know is basically addicted to her books and I want that same feeling.
DeleteCan't wait to see what you'll think of it! :))
DeleteHA! The only book on this list that I've read is Fangirl. The rest are on my TBR too!! :) Great post! LOVE the shame GIF :)
ReplyDeleteDid you enjoy Fangirl? I'm so behind on reading *hides*. Thank you so much!
DeleteI did the same thing with The Girl at Midnight! I don't even know if I marked it as read on Goodreads. I read it all in one sitting and loved it and then never even wrote a review or read the next book in the series! I should really dedicate a couple months to just finishing up series' that I've started and haven't finished. Best of luck on reading all of these!
ReplyDeleteLaura @BlueEyeBooks
You feel my pain, yesss!!! Seriously how have we let this slip through our fingers? I felt the exact same thing, loved it, flew through it and was excited for book 2? I want to do the same, dedicate some time to catching up. You'll have to let me know if you read it!
DeleteThanks Laura xx
I haven't read any of these books either. I have the first book in the Outlander series sitting in my to-read stacks. My Aunt was so convinced I would like it that she bought it for me, but I haven't gotten around to reading it yet.
ReplyDeleteOMG Outlander, how is that not on my list? I haven't read any either and I'm obsessed with the tv show. I'm the worst reader ever hahaa. You'll have to let me know how the first book goes, I have high hopes for that series!
DeleteCOOOODDYYYY YOU'RE BACK <3 <3. You've been missed!
ReplyDeleteI definitely recommend you read the Immoral Rules! It's dark and gritty, and the very final book of the series just DESTROYED my heart (in a good way).
WAIT, Michelle Hodkin is writing another series? Why did I not know about it? MUST GOOGLE. The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer was a crazy psychological and paranormal read for me! And my god yes, NOAH SHAW <3
YES THE GIRL AT MIDNIGHT. That book was fantastic! I borrowed the second book, and loved it so much. I've been waiting for the third book to come out (which it now has, yay!) so I can get them the next time I visit a bookstore!
Sorry for the overwhelmingly long comment! Think of this as a welcome back rant haha :D
ERIKAAAA! Oh how I have missed our bookish rants. I am soo ready for long catch up!
DeleteI thought of you when I was writing the Immortal Rules series, I remember you saying something about the ending, ahh so nervous to read it!
Okay, so I need to find out who Noah Shaw is asap *heart eyes*
I KNOW RIGHT? I loved The Girl at Midnight, ohhh you loved the second book? Yes, I am so happy to hear this because I just know I'll love it too. Plus I'm more determined to read it knowing it's great. I might have to binge-read the series.
<333
I still haven't read all of them but fangirl and I think you should read it, because it's an awesome book!
ReplyDeleteBy the way I just found your blog via goodreads, I really like it!
Yaaay, I'm glad you enjoy it. Oh I'm definitely going to have to read it now. I am clearly missing out on a great book.
DeleteThank you so much for visiting!! x
