Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly feature hosted by bloggers at The Broke and the Bookish. This week I'm sharing the top ten series I want to start.
1. The Rephaim by Paula Weston
Aside from the fact that I already own the first book, I haven't read paranormal YA in a while so I'm looking forward to this. Plus, it's by an Australian author which also makes me want to read it.

2. The Program by Suzanne Young
I've seen good things about this dystopian YA series from other bloggers around, so I'm curious to try it out.

3. Mara Dyer by Michelle Hodkin
These books seem downright creepy and thrilling, and after all the hype and people saying how amazing they are, I'm going to give them a go.
4. Hopeless by Colleen Hoover
I'm already a Collen Hoover fan, and I can't wait to start this series which is sure to be an emotional read.
5. Pivot Point by Kasie West
The idea of alternate realities make this series one I really want to read. Thankfully I have the first book already so I can make a start!
6. Every by Ellie Marney
Australian author. Awesome premise. Must-read ASAP.
7. Splintered by A.G. Howard
Stephanie from Chasm of Books really likes this series, and I like the sound of its Alice in Wonderland similarities.
8. Legend by Marie Lu
This is yet another YA dystopian series that has been on my TBR for way too long. It's time to read it.
9. The Violet Eden Chapters by Jessica Shirvington
I've really enjoyed some of Jessica Shirvington's other novels, and the fact that my English teacher even recommended this series makes me really want to start it.
10. Starbound by Amie Kaufman and Meagan Spooner
One thing's for sure - I'll definitely read These Broken Stars before This Shattered World Comes out!
So what do you think of the series I've picked - do you have any recommendations in particular?
You have got SO MUCH AWESOME ahead of you, Eugenia!! These Broken Stars, Splintered and Unhinged, Every Breath and Every Word, Pivot Point, Mara Dyer...all are really great.
ReplyDeleteI really want to read The Treatment too. And some Colleen Hoover. TOO MANY AWESOME BOOKS.
Yes! Colleen Hoover is awesome when it comes to contemporary - hope you get to read something by her soon :)
DeleteThe Program: YES!
ReplyDeleteMara Dyer: YES!
Pivot Point: YES!
Legend: YES!
I started reading Splintered...I was enjoying it, but it had to go back to the library, so I didn't finish it :/
Such good books on this list...excellent choices.
Good to know my picks sound good - I'm definitely excited to read them all. It's definitely hard when those library due dates sneak up on you and you have to return a really good book (we've all been there!)
DeleteMARA DYER. I am getting that for Christmas, THE EXCITE. Pivot Point was SO good, need the sequel, also getting that at Christmas, how sweet. Splintered I've reserved from the library, good old me, and Every Breath looks and sounds AMAZING. Legend was, in the middle for me, but I wish you so much luck! Such good choices Genie, good on you girl, good luck! :D
ReplyDeleteThanks Amanda :) Books for Christmas are the best! Seriously the hype and excitement for the Mara Dyer series has definitely swayed me recently and I'm at the point where I just have to go out and buy a copy already!
DeleteYes. You've got some great books ahead of you: The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer, The Evolution of Mara Dyer, Pivot Point, Split Second, Every Breath, Every Word, Splintered, Legend, Prodigy and These Broken Stars! Such a fantastic list! I also really want to read The Program and The Violet Eden Chapters!
ReplyDeleteOoh I'm even more excited now to start them Ebony! I'm definitely bumping 'The Program' and 'Embrace' up my TBR now too.
Delete:O :O :O MARA DYER. THAT'S IT. THAT'S THE ONE YOU WANT. OMG. AND SPLINTERED. OH AND EVERY WORD/BREATH Ok. Sorry, I'm lost for words. You've got pretty much some of the best experiences ahead of you :P Enjoy devouring these!
ReplyDeleteTHE ANTICIPATION IS KILLING ME (in a good way of course) to read these books! I am looking forward to both devouring and hopefully fangirling about these books sometime in the near future!
DeleteYou have some awesome books on this list, Eugenia. I especially recommend These Broken Stars, Every Breath, The Program, and The Rephaim series (I'm actually reading the second book at the moment!). ENJOY!
ReplyDeleteThat's good to hear Kara - I'm contemplating going get 'Haze' and 'Shimmer' as well now, considering that after I finish 'Shadows' and (assuming it's good) I'll probably just want to go and binge-read the rest of the series. I can't wait to read These Broken Stars and Every Breath especially too!
DeleteI neeeed to read The Rephaim. I actually own book #3. o.O My bad! I can't believe I just haven't even though about reading it, and people say it's like the best angel series there is. *expectations rocket* So I hopefully will get onto it...soon? Next year? And Every Breath! Everyone RAVES about it! And anything Sherlocky is just insta-awesome, right?? Even if it's Mycroft and not Sherlock. I can deal.
ReplyDelete'best angel series there is' is definitely a high standard to live up to - but from the looks of things it definitely has the potential to meet expectations (hopefully!). That Sherlock vibe is definitely what makes me want to read it even more :)
Deletedude, you need to read like...ALL OF THESE. The Rephaim is absolutely beautiful, so you must get to that one very soon. And These Broken Stars! Oh, so much love for pretty much all these books.
ReplyDeletelovely list, girl! <33
Thanks Mel! I am definitely going to get to all of them at some point, hopefully in the near-future when I can clear some space in my reading schedule! (holiday reading here I come)
DeleteYou list so many books that I really love and ones on my TBR as well! I mean I just LOVE The These Broken Stars series and the Legend series was really wonderful too, one of the most beautiful endings ever. It reminded me of the Harry Potter epilogue. I absolutely LOVED Hopeless and Losing Hope, you won't be disappointed!
ReplyDeleteYay! The fact that you liked a lot of these books on my list gives me even more hope that they'll turn out for me too. I absolutely can't wait to get reading Hopeless especially since I'm a CoHo fan already, and These Broken Stars has been raved on about by so many other bloggers as well. I love great endings in a series as well, so I'm sure that the rest of the Legend books are just as good!
DeleteGreat list! I have the first book in Mara Dyer borrowed out from the library but knowing me I'll return it before I get a chance to read it... Starbound made it on my list, and I'm also really keen to read the Every series, even if it isn't on my list. Unfortunately the TTT posts this week are just giving me MORE books I want to read!
ReplyDeleteLol I know how it feels to have to return library books when you just haven't had the chance to read them yet! Yes, there are always more books to add to the TBR when browsing these sorts of posts *gazes at precariously stacked pile of books waiting for me to read them* - but hey, at least we're spoilt for choice! :)
DeleteOMG I need to read Mara Dyer too! And Legend. I feel so bad that I haven't!
ReplyDeleteAND YES YES YES THE VIOLET EDEN CHAPTERS OMG okay.
Here's some advice for The Violet Eden Chapters.
So the first book is very much world building, so if it doesn't get THAT mind trippy (AND IT ALREADY IS TBH) DON'T GIVE UP!
And same with the second book, Entice. It's still building it up and sorting out some relationships and stuff but don't give up on it if you think it's taking a while because it has stuff you NEED to know for later because mind trippy plot twist EXPLOSION stuff and then from the third book Emblaze everything goes BOOOM!!!!!
AND THEN YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO PUT DOWN EMBLAZE OR ENDLESS OR EMPOWER BUT I'M WARNING YOU OMG HAVE TISSUES!!!!!
and that is my advice.
also, after reading Endless and Empower, I was in a book hangover for a week each time.
So yeah, have time to have your brain exploded and your worlds flipped over.
Great to see that I am not the only one who hasn't read some of those series!
Thanks for the heads-up about the Embrace series, I can't wait to start it! :)
DeleteI have read the Rephaim series and The Violet Eden Chapters and can highly recommend them. All the rest, except Hopeless, are series I want to start reading as well.
ReplyDeleteThat's great to hear Rochelle - here's to hoping that we both enjoy the rest as well :)
