Finished Series I have Yet to Finish
These are by no way the only series I have yet to finish, but
the only ones I feel like owning up to haha. I have a terrible problem of
starting series and never getting around to finishing them. By the time I
actually decide I want to finish the series, I usually need to go back and read
the whole series again.
Twilight
I honestly don’t have much of a problem with this series, but
the hype got so big around it at one point that it put me off finishing the
last one. I really want to go back and finish it though (even though I know
what happens).
Hunger Games
So Hunger Games suffered at the same fate as Twilight for me.
The over-hype around it got so much that I lost interest in it. I only have
Mockingjay to read though and I did really enjoy the books, so I might add it
to my Summer TBR.
Mortal Instruments
So the main reason I haven’t finished this series, is that it
got a little long winded for me. The first 3 were the best in my opinion. I
originally went into it thinking it was only a trilogy but then 3 more books
appeared. I think I got about half way through the 5th. I do really
need to go back and reread from the last 3 books on, just so I can say I’ve
finished it and finally have some closure.
Shatter Me
I wasn’t blown away by the first book to be honest, and it was a
while till the sequel, so it just kind of got forgotten about. But I know a lot
of people enjoyed the series as a whole, so it is my mission to
finish it.
Chemical Garden
I really enjoyed the first 2 books in this series and devoured
them at an incredible pace. But once the final book was released I heard that
the last book was heart breaking and a lot of people were upset with the
ending, so I put it on the back burner.
Harry Potter
Ok so this a big confession. I have not read the last book in
the series….but I feel I have a very valid reason, so please don’t hate me. My
reason, despite how silly it sounds is that I’m not ready to give up that part
of my childhood. I feel once I’ve read the last book, it’s all over. They’re no
more adventures to look forward to, and I’m just not ready for that.
I have not finished the chemical garden or shatter me series either but I do plan on it one day! Aussiebookworm
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh I would definitely finish the Shatter Me trilogy. Book 2 is SO good and it gets way more about their super powers than about the romance. (though annoyingly it is back to romance in book 3, sigh) But still the world is pretty cool. A lot gets explained. I also would say finish the Chemical Garden series because I felt like book 2 and 3 were great. and DUDE, I hear ya on The Mortal Instruments. I read books 1-3 when it WAS a trilogy and felt like "yay this is awesome" and then she tacked on 3 more books! sigh!

I got up the the 5th book in TMI but I was told that I should read the TID books first before continuing so I wait to do those.

I've never read The Hunge Games although I've enjoyed the movie- I'm not sure why I haven't been more excited about the books. I did read the first two Divergent books after seeing the movie- not sure why I haven't with HG...
ReplyDeleteTwilight and Hunger Games both got too hyped up for me too. I finished the series but I didn't enjoy the last book in either as much as I thought I would. And I can appreciate your reason for not finishing Harry Potter. But I really loved the last book. Hope you read it one day. The great thing is we can always reread the entire series without waiting for the next book to come out, right? :)
