Hello! Welcome to Top Ten Tuesday (hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl)! Here’s where we talk about books every week. Today’s topic is supposed to be “The Last Ten Books I Abandoned,” but I really don’t try to abandon books, so I’m going to go with something similar, but different: the last 10 series I haven’t finished. It could be for a variety of reasons, and I’ll tell you why I haven’t finished them yet. Let’s get started!
Chosen Ones – Veronica Roth
Length: Duology
Why haven’t I finished it?: The second book isn’t out yet! It doesn’t even have a title. But I have every intention of reading it once it comes out.
System Divine: Jessica Brody & Joanne Rendell
Length: Trilogy
Why haven’t I finished it?: The third book isn’t out yet! It’s title hasn’t been announced yet, although the authors know what the title is. The third book hasn’t even been announced on Goodreads, but I went to a book event with the authors and I know they were going to do one.
The Last Hours: Cassandra Clare
Length: Trilogy
Why haven’t I finished it?: Only the first book is available. I’m so looking forward to reading more of this series. I keep looking to see if Chain of Iron is available to pre-order. I might reread this twice before the next book comes out, I love it so much.
St. Rosetta’s Academy: Sandhya Menon
Length: Trilogy
Why haven’t I finished it?: The second two books aren’t out yet! I sound like a broken record at this point. But there are other reasons why I haven’t finished a series, just not the last books I’ve read up to this point.
Dollar: Pepper Winters
Length: Pentalogy
Why haven’t I finished it?: Just haven’t gotten around to it. I’ve read four of the five books so far. I’ve put the fifth book, Millions, onto my TBR lottery, but it hasn’t won so far. Plus, I’m having trouble getting books read right now. Don’t know why.
Camelot Rising: Kiersten White
Length: Trilogy
Why haven’t I finished it?: The other two books in the series aren’t available yet. I do plan on reading them though.
Sea Witch: Sarah Henning
Length: Duology
Why haven’t I finished it?: So many books, so little time. Maybe I’ll read the sequel someday? I’m a never say never kind of person. But it’s not one of my top priorities.
Dreamer Trilogy: Maggie Stiefvater
Length: Trilogy
Why haven’t I finished it?: The other books aren’t out yet. I don’t think I liked this book quite as much as The Raven Boys, so I probably won’t pre-order it, but I’ll probably get the other books from the library and read them.
Monsters of Verity: Victoria Schwab
Length: Duology
Why haven’t I finished it?: I haven’t gotten around to it. It’s in my TBR lottery, so I intend to read the finale at some point; I just haven’t yet.
The Beautiful: Renée Ahdieh
Length: Duology
Why haven’t I finished it?: The Damned isn’t out yet. Like Call Down the Hawk, I’m not sure I liked the first book enough to buy the second book, but I’ll probably get it from the library.
So there are the last 10 series that I’ve read partway through and haven’t finished. So far this year, I’ve finished four series, and this list goes back to mid-October of last year, so I guess I tend to finish most series that I read. Not all of them, but many of them.
Next week is “Reasons Why I Love…” I think I’ll write about “Reasons Why I Love YA.” But don’t quote me on it. See you then!
I just realized I haven’t read a veronica Roth book since Insurgent. Wow.
I’m really curious about The Beautiful!

Wow, that’s been a long time!
Great list! Funnily enough Sea Witch Rising made my list this week talking about sequels I won’t read – I like Sea Witch, but I don’t think it really needs a sequel? I hope you enjoy all of the follow-ups in these series when you get to them!

Thanks!
Yeah, Sea Witch does seem mostly complete? It doesn’t seem like something I need to pursue further.
I hope all of those sequels are released soon. 🙂

I’m pretty sure I’ll get an ARC to Of Princes and Promises, since I’m on Sandhya Menon’s street team and she knows who I am, but some of the others don’t even have a release date. I’ll probably read the ones I’m excited about on release day though.
I still need to read Call Down The Hawk, it’s going to be my next read!

I hope you like it!
Great twist on the topic! There are so many series I’ve started and not finished, as well. Maybe someday! I can’t wait for the next installments of The Last Hours and The Dreamer Trilogy, either. <3
I so want to reread Chain of Gold again. Like now. I know I’ll reread it again before Chain of Iron, but considering it doesn’t have a release date yet, it probably wouldn’t be bad if I read it now and then again before CoI.
I loved The Raven Boys series but I didn’t like Ronan enough to want to read a trilogy that focuses on him.

I think that’s why I wasn’t as much of a fan of this series as The Raven Boys. I still plan on reading it, but I’m just not sure it’s worth spending the money on pre-orders, when the library will get it anyway.
I read This Savage Song but have not gotten around to reading the sequel. I hope you ultimate enjoy it when you do finish the duology.
LOL. I loved that you included Call Down the Hawk because the rest of the books aren’t out yet. Fabulous!
Hope the rest of the series is good!
Hopefully.
Cool twist on the topic! I’m actually really bad at finishing a series! I think I have trouble letting go. I have a whole bunch of trilogies etc where I still have the last book to read!
You do so much better with a series than I do! Well done!
I love the raven cycle and while I did like call down the hawk I also didn’t love it quite as much as the raven cycle. I will continue when the second book comes out next year in May, though. I also still need to read Our Dark Duet! I did enjoy This Savage Song too.
