Series I Haven't Finished

Just like my post about books I need to read, this one is about series that I have started and haven't finished yet! This is also one of my plans for 2014. 

First up is The Inheritance Cycle by Christopher Paolini. I started this several years ago. I read the first and second book (which I have misplaced) and never read the third or even purchased the fourth!

I also need to finish The Percheron series by Fiona McIntosh. I've read the first two and they were really good! I read them several years ago, so I might need to do a reread  of these. 

The Chaos Walking series by Patrick Ness. The first book in the series was one of the best books I read in 2013, so I am excited to read the other two! 

There are a few comic series that I haven't finished, including Sweet Tooth by Jeff Lemire. This series is really interesting and I am planning to catch up with it soon! 

Also on my list is Locke & Key by Joe Hill. This was so good! And I really, really want to catch up! 

Lastly is Runaways by Brian K. Vaughan and others. Vaughan is responsible for my most favourite comic series of all time, Y: The Last Man. I have read a bunch of these but still have a few left til I am finished!

That's everything! I am so excited to catch up on all of these series.

Books I Have to Read in 2014

Hello! Today I am sharing a few books on my shelf that I have been putting off reading because they are large and daunting, so I am hoping to knock them out this year! So in no particular order....

1Q84 by Haruki Murakami. I've had this for a couple of years and it's 985 pages scare me! I love Murakami so I need to read this. 

The Casual Vacancy by J.K. Rowling. I've heard this book is really good, but it is massive and I worry it's going to be hard to get through. 

The Idiot by Fyodor Dostoyevsky. My brother got me this for my birthday a few years ago. I've read Crime and Punishment, which was good, so hopefully I can enjoy this one too. However, I struggle with classics...fingers crossed this isn't too difficult!

The Final Confession of Mabel Stark by Robert Hough. I have had this on my shelf for so long, I am embarrassed to say how long - so I HAVE to read this. It sounds really good too! 

Habibi by Craig Thompson. This comic was also a gift and it is a big one with 672 pages. The cover is gorgeous, and the story sounds interesting. 

I am really hoping I can get through these 5 books this year, as I've been putting off reading them and the longer I leave it the worse I feel! Have you been avoiding any books because of their size or for another reason?

November 2013 To Be Read Pile

After my book haul I thought I would share the books I actually plan to read in November!

Starting with UnSouled by Neal Shusterman 

I've read the first two books and there will be one more after this. It's an amazing series!

Next up will be Scarlet by Marissa Meyer, the second book in the Lunar Chronicles series.

I am currently reading Cinder and I love it.  I really enjoy fairy tale retellings!

 The first comic book I will read in November is Relish: My Life in the Kitchen by Lucy Knisley. 

I love Lucy's style and writing, and French Milk is one of my all time favourite books!

The second comic I plan to read is Saga Vol 1 by Brian K. Vaughan and Fiona Staples. 

I am so excited to read this because Y: The Last Man is my favourite comic book series of all time, so I am happy to check out something else by Vaughan. 

 Finally, Tekkon Kinkreet by Taiyo Matsumoto.

I have had this FOR AGES and I have no idea why it's taken me so long to pick it up! 

So that's my reading goal for November. What do you hope to read this month?

Recent Book Purchases

I love books, I love reading books, buying books, reading about reading, looking at books, researching them and talking about them! BOOKS!

Here are my recent purchases and this may be the only post like this for a while as I have put a ban on myself. I have SO many books that I haven't read that I am not going to buy any for a bit (unless it's by a favourite author, or the next in a series I have been reading)

First I have Unwholly by Neal Shusterman. This is the second book in a trilogy. I recently read Unwind which was AMAZING and I had to buy this straight away!

 

 The Knife of Never Letting Go by Patrick Ness

My eldest brother recommended this to me. He just finished it and said it was really good, if strange!

Warm Bodies by Isaac Marion

I like the idea of this book. I'm not really interested in seeing the film, but I want to read it!

 

 The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold

This has been on my to read list for ages and I can't wait to finally start it! 

 

I bought all of these from the Book Depository! 

 

What are you reading at the moment?
