Top Ten Series I Haven't Finished

Top Ten Tuesday is an original feature/weekly

 meme held over at The Broke and the Bookish. 

This weeks topic is the top ten series you haven't

finished for one reason or another. 

I just started Vampire Academy, I'm not really into it yet. It seems good, so I'm hoping all the things I've heard about it will be true. And Across The Universe was great, I somehow just never got around to reading A Million Suns, and Shades of Earth will be released soon. So I really need to get on it!

I started the Harry Potter series last December I believe, and I'm currently on the fourth. I still like it, I think I just needed a break, but I never started reading them again. And The Hunger Games, I didn't like it as much as I thought I would. Especially with all the hype, I didn't think it was amazing, but I still want to finish the series.

Think of a Number was amazing! It was the perfect murder/mystery thriller. I couldn't read the pages fast enough, and then I just never got around to the second one. Uglies is one I haven't even started yet, but I have 3 of the books, so all I have to do is finally pick it up. One day...

The Maze Runner was another fabulous book, but again, I just never picked up the second one. I really need too, but I heard some things about the series going downhill after the first. So maybe that's what's holding me back. City of Bones is another that I've heard wonderful things about, but just haven't got it yet. I will soon though.

I loved Crank and Glass, but never got around to reading Fallout, and I kinda forgot what happened, so I plan on going back and reading the series from start to finish. Number is yet another that I think will be very interesting, but just haven't gotten around to starting it just yet. It's on my "up next" list though. 

Then for some fun, I wanted to include a few manga/comic/graphic novel series I'd like to get started and/or finish!

Both Locke & Key and Scott Pilgrim vs The World I haven't started yet, but really need too. Locke & Key was recommended to me as something to read after I finished The Walking Dead graphic novels, which sadly has happened, so I plan on starting that very soon. And Scott Pilgrim, after watching the movie, which was awesome, I really wanted to read the books. 

Emma is one that I don't really know much about, I saw it in a YouTube video and looked it up on Goodreads. It looks interesting, so we'll see how that goes, if I ever get there. Death Note has been amazing so far, I'm on volume 5 and I'm still really liking it.

Waiting on Wednesday: Let The Devil Sleep

Waiting On Wednesday #4! :)

"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.

My pick for this week is:

Let the Devil Sleep by John Verdon (Dave Gurney, Book #3)
Expected publication: July 24, 2012
Amazon -- Goodreads

From Goodreads:

The most decorated homicide detective in NYPD history, Dave Gurney is still trying to adjust to his life of quasi-retirement in upstate New York when a young woman who is producing a documentary on a notorious murder spree seeks his counsel.  Soon after, Gurney begins feeling threatened: a razor-sharp hunting arrow lands in his yard, and he narrowly escapes serious injury in a booby-trapped basement.  As things grow more bizarre, he finds himself reexamining the case of The Good Shepherd, which ten years before involved a series of roadside shootings and a rage-against-the-rich manifesto.  The killings ceased, and a cult of analysis grew up around the case with a consensus opinion that no one would dream of challenging  -- no one, that is, but Dave Gurney.  
 
Mocked even by some who’d been his supporters in previous investigations, Dave realizes that the killer is too clever to ever be found.  The only gambit that may make sense is also the most dangerous – to make himself a target and get the killer to come to him.
 
To survive, Gurney must rely on three allies: his beloved wife Madeleine, impressively intuitive and a beacon of light in the gathering darkness; his de-facto investigative “partner” Jack Hardwick, always ready to spit in authority’s face but wily when it counts; and his son Kyle, who has come back into Gurney’s life with surprising force, love and loyalty.
 
Displaying all the hallmarks for which the Dave Gurney series is lauded -- well-etched characters, deft black humor, and ingenious deduction that ends in a climactic showdown – Let the Devil Sleep is something more: a reminder of the power of self-belief in a world that contains too little of it.

 So, I read the first one and wow. It was  great, and really suspenseful. If you like a  good mystery/suspense/murder/crime book.  I really recommend this series!
