A new month means new Top 5 Tuesday prompts, and as ever, Shanah @ Bionic Bookworm Blog has delivered only the finest quality prompts! Even if those fine quality prompts show just how behind on my TBR I really am…
Might as well own up to it, though! Here are the top five series I really should get around to finishing up!
The Craft SequenceΒ by Max Gladstone
This has been on my Kindle for THREE YEARS, ever since I saw a sale for the omnibus of the Craft Sequence (sansΒ The Ruin of Angels), and DAMMIT, it’s time I read this! I readΒ Three Parts DeadΒ four years ago and it’s still stuck with me because of how jaw-dropping the ending was, and I’m eager to finally go back!
Rise of the Empress Series by Julie C. Dao
I read FoaTL, but I need to get my hands on KotBP, hopefully in time for SotCF! Julie’s style really seemed to fit for a fairy tale retelling, even for a retelling that focused on the evil queen instead of the usual princess heroine, and I want to dive back into her prose ASAP!
The Inkworld Series by Cornelia Funke
Fun fact: I have never finishedΒ Inkdeath. Every single time I start this series, I get stuck at the end ofΒ InkspellΒ or at the beginning ofΒ Inkdeath, and it’s frustrating as hell. One day, though! One day I’ll find out how this story ends!
The Song of the Current Duology by Sarah Tolcser
This will probably be fixed soon since I recently got a copy ofΒ Whisper of the Tide, but I have to know how this duology closes out! The first book has enemies to lovers and snark and secret royalty, and I loved every minute of it. Fingers crossedΒ Whisper of the TideΒ can deliver!
The Daevabad Trilogy by S.A. Chakraborty
While I didn’t adoreΒ The City of Brass, I still want to find out how this trilogy pans out, so I suppose I’ll have to get The Kingdom of CopperΒ soon, then sit on my hands and patiently wait forΒ The Empire of Gold. Hopefully the series closes with more emotion and action than it started, but we’ll just have to wait and see, huh?
And there you have it! My TBR in part laid bare! Maybe a little bit of public admission will get me in gear to just FINISH READING THESE…
But what series do you still have on your plate?
Wow those covers are all GLORIOUS!!! Hope you can scratch some of these off the list soon!
Aren’t they? It’s killing me that they’re so pretty and I HAVEN’T GOTTEN TO THEM. π© Soon, though!
Rise of the Empress and The Daevabad are high up on my TBR and have been there so long I’m a bit ashamed of it.
With as much as I adore the Inkworld trilogy, you’d think I’d remember the second two books a little better but I always just re-read Inkheart. I can say that I do remember enjoying the last book but I’m super biased as the Inkworld is one of my favorite things ever.
Oh man, I get it. The amount of time it takes is just…embarrassing. π³ And omg I really need to go back. I loved Inkheart and I’ve reread it so many times too!
I haven’t read any of these, but hope you find the time to catch up!
I hope so too, haha!
I neeeeeed the final book in the Daevabad trilogy!
I’m hoping I will too! We’ll see how I feel about Kingdom of Copper.
I’ve wanted to read the Inkworld series ever since I saw the movie Inkheart forever ago. I finally got the first two books from a used book store a few weeks ago and can’t wait to get to them. Great post!
Tbh, I think the books are better than the movie (the movie just doesn’t do it justice), so it seems to me you made a great choice! And thanks! π
I feel like thatβs always the case. Hopefully Iβll be able to read them soon!
You know what…I don’t think I ever finished Inkdeath either. I honestly forgot that series existed! Well, now I’m reminded of yet another book to finish lol! Great postπ
Haha, makes me feel better that it’s not just me! π And hey, thanks!
I loved The Inkworld Series! But it has been so long since I read it that I really should re-read them π I hope you are able to finish them someday!
Sounds like a lot of us need to do a reread, haha. I hope I find time too!
Oh gosh!! Just push through on Inkdeath!!!! π
Lol just about every comment on this post advises that or says they need to as well. I think I know what I’m going to have to do now. π
We only speak the truth, ok?! π
I believe you all, I swear!
