Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly linkup of book bloggers hosted by The Broke and The Bookish! This week, we're looking at series...more specifically, ones we've been thinking about starting to read but haven't quite gotten to yet. I don't tend to be much of a series reader, but there are definitely some beginning volumes of series on my bookshelf that I just haven't read yet.
In The Woods: I've been told that these are only loosely connected and that this first one is actually one of the weaker entries. But I'm a sucker for reading books in order because I feel like that's the "right" way to read them, and this one is actually up to be read fairly soon.
Red Rising: This YA (I think?) sci-fi series has gotten great reviews everywhere I've seen them, and sci-fi is a genre I've enjoyed, so I need to start reading them.
The Passage: This is a post-pandemic and vampire story kind of blend, or so I've been told, and since both of those are stories I'm usually interested in and this trilogy is supposed to be great, I've snagged the first on for my Kindle.
Throne of Glass: This series is always super buzzy around the YA blogosphere, which has made me curious enough that I want to see what all the fuss is about.
Oryx and Crake: Margaret Atwood is a must-read.
The Cuckoo's Calling: Same for J.K. Rowling.
Annihiliation: This is the first in a trilogy about a team of scientists who venture into a strange area that has wreaked havoc on previous explorers. It's supposed to be mysterious and twisty and really really good.
Queen of the Tearling: My sister actually really likes this series, so I'm taking her word for it that I should read these ones.
The Grace of Kings: I think I originally heard this series described as
Game of Thrones based in the Eastern rather than Western world, and that's a high bar (I love
ASOIF), but this has won prizes so color me intrigued.
The Magicians: This series has been described as
Harry Potter for grown-ups, which I am here for.
