The rules I used when putting this list together: there has to be at least one book released that I haven't read. No comic series. And the rest of the series has to still be on my TBR. If I hadn't put that last rule in there, this list would have been about three times as long - there are so many series where I read the first book, put the rest of the series on my TBR, and then lose interest when I don't pick up the second book for a while.
Now that I've gotten that out of the way, here are 9 series I still haven't finished.
AN EMBER IN THE ASHES
1 book left to catch up; last read 4 months ago
I'm glad that I didn't write this post before June, because it took me two and a half years to finally read A TORCH AGAINST THE NIGHT. When I did catch up, it was going to be so I could read A REAPER AT THE GATES when it released! I guess that hasn't happened, but the good news is that this series is even better than I remembered and I will definitely be reading it soon.
WAYWARD CHILDREN
1 book left to catch up; last read 9 months ago
These books are so short that I have no excuse to not be totally caught up, and yet here we are! I don't have any good reason that I haven't read BENEATH THE SUGAR SKY yet, but hopefully I'll get to it soon!
THE LADY JANIES
1 book left to catch up; last read 10 months ago
It took me a long time to pick up MY LADY JANE, but I enjoyed it so much that I thought I would get my hands on the sequel as soon as I could. That didn't happen. I don't feel too bad since MY PLAIN JANE only released in June, but hopefully I'll have it read well in advance of book 3!
MASK OF SHADOWS
1 book left to catch up; last read 1 year, 1 month ago
I'm actually okay with this - RUIN OF STARS was pretty much just released, and I only read MASK OF SHADOWS so fast because I had an ARC. I'm really excited to finally get to this! At some point.
THE GIRL FROM EVERYWHERE
1 book left to catch up; last read 1 year, 3 months ago
I told myself that I'd read THE SHIP BEYOND TIME before I went to the Heidi Heilig event a couple weeks ago. That didn't happen. At this point I might need to reread THE GIRL FROM EVERYWHERE before diving into it, but that'll be fun!
SHADES OF MAGIC
2 books left to catch up; last read 1 year, 3 months ago
I was basically the last person in the world to start this series, and I will definitely be the last person to finish it. I haven't even read A GATHERING OF SHADOWS!
And if the gap between me reading books two and three is as long as
this one, we'll have a while to wait before I check this one off the
list.
RED QUEEN
1 book left to catch up; last read 1 year, 8 months ago
I read the first three books in this series, plus the two prequel novellas, in the span of about a month. That was right when KING'S CAGE released, so there had to be a break before WAR STORM.
But I loved the series so much that I'd finish it as soon as I could,
right? Wrong. I still don't know when I'm going to get the chance to
pick this one up.
PASSENGER
1 book left to catch up; last read 2 years, 9 months ago
This is definitely the most embarrassing. I bought and read PASSENGER on release day. So, when WAYFARER
came out, I, naturally, bought it on release day....and didn't read it.
And kept not reading it. Oops? I say that Alexandra Bracken is one of
my favorite authors and yet I haven't read her last three books. I really need to get on that.
THE DIVINERS
1 book left to catch up; last read 3 years, 1 month ago
This one makes a bit of sense because it's actually only been about a year since BEFORE THE DEVIL BREAKS YOU was released. I actually just talked about that in my post the other day about how bad I am at actually reading my most anticipated books in a timely manner. I will definitely get to this one soon - and actually, if I can manage to get a copy, this is the perfect time of year for it!
TIFFANY ACHING
1 book left to catch up; last read over 7 years ago
But Clara, why is PASSENGER the most embarrassing when you have a series that you've left unfinished for more than twice that amount of time? Because I actually have a reason for this one. I am in deep, deep denial that Terry Pratchett is dead and that THE SHEPHERD'S CROWN is the last Discworld book ever. There is going to be some serious crying when I finally do read this, because this series has meant so much to me for so long and I don't want it to be over. I do, however, very much need to read this book. Someday.
