Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish and is now hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together. Each week a new theme is suggested for bloggers to participate in. Create your own Top Ten list that fits that topic – putting your unique spin on it if you want. Everyone is welcome to join but please link back to The Artsy Reader Girl in your own Top Ten Tuesday post.
This week’s prompt isn’t inspiring me, so I’m going for a rewind and using one I missed previously which is Series I’d Like to Start/Catch up on/Finish
Ben Aaronovitch – Rivers of London I’m like 3 books, 2 novellas and a short story collection behind. Hanging Tree is actually top of my TBR
Kelley Armstrong – Women of The Otherworld I don’t think I’ve ever read further than about 6 or 7 books through the series. Bitten is back on my TBR to restart – and finish the series.
Christie Barlow – Love Heart Lane I own pretty much the whole series on Kindle but haven’t even started it yet. Love Heart Lane is on my Spring TBR to resolve this
Patricia Briggs – Mercy Thompson Absolutely loved the first 2 or 3 books, but for some reason never carried on.
Jim Butcher – The Dresden Files I’ve read Storm Front, book 2 has been on my TBR for years and I’ve never carried on.
Sarah J Maas – A Court of Thorns and Roses I’ve read the first 2 books, got the next 2 on my Kindle, I think I’m invested enough that it won’t take long!
Chloe Neill – The Chicagoland Vampires Some Girls Bite has been on my TBR for years.
Anne Rice – The Vampire Chronicles Even though these have been my favourites for years, I’ve not actually read the last couple. I’ve started a re-read recently and Vampire Lestat is on my TBR
Ransom Riggs – Miss Peregrine I read the first book years ago, recently finished the second and the third is near the top of my TBR. Turns out there’s a lot more in the series than I realised!
Nancy Warren – The Vampire Knitting Club I accidentally read the first book in one sitting, bought the next couple… and didn’t read them.
The more I started looking at these, the more and more I realised there are SO MANY book series that I’ve started and not finished, so I think once I’ve whittled a little away at my TBR, I need to go through the history of my goodreads and work out all the series I have in progress. I sense a new spreadsheet in my future!
Spreadsheets are fun! I like this list, though I haven’t read any series on it to completion, either. It’s hard to keep up with all the books, especially in the longer ones. 🙂 Here is my TTT.
I love a good spreadsheet – and my fiancee is a spreadsheet nerd so there’s a spreadsheet for everything in our house 😀
I hope you get to all of these soon.
I struggle with finishing series, too. Hope you enjoy all of these!

I am TERRIBLE at finishing anything, it’s a wonderful ADHD quirk. Like, I’ve still never see the Buffy finale!
A few of these have also been on my TBR for a while–especially Bitten and Miss Peregrine. I hope we both enjoy them!

Wow, so many of these series sound intimidating by the amount of books they contain! I don’t know if I have the energy for such long series, nor the attention span.
ACOTAR is one of my faves though.

I need to catch up on Kelley Armstrong’s Rockton series. I read two books in the series this month, so I’m getting there. Good luck on all your series!
Happy TTT!

I have SO many unfinished series on my TBR too, it’s one of my goals for this year to make a dent in them, though I’m not doing so well at that so far. I read the first two ACOTAR books, but stopped the third one about a third of the way through. Honestly, I think I’ve kind of gone off Sarah J Maas, all her books started to feel very same-y to me and I don’t have the same excitement for them as I used to.

I did this topic also for TTT. But, we don’t have the same series. i hope you’re able to finish all your series.
