Hey book nerds! Today I’m going over some series that are completed, or have a few books, that I have started and haven’t finished because I’m trash like that. Seriously though, I need to start following up with series.

1. The Witcher series.

I read Blood of Elves in 2018 and I really enjoyed it. I was going to read The Time of Contempt in May and had no idea what is going on. To remedy this, I’m going to look up some reading orders and restart the series.

2. The Night Angel Trilogy

I read The Way of Shadows last year or the year before. It was dark, very dark and sucker punched me. In fact it took me a very long time to finish because every couple of chapters something horrible happened to a character that made my heart bleed and my soul cry out for mercy. I want to finish this series, but it terrifies me at the same time.

3. Robert Langdon series by Dan Brown

I keep saying I don’t really read thrillers or mysteries. The truth is I used to all the time and the symbology and conspiracies in Secret Societies are what caught my attention. I don’t read a lot of these anymore, but I would love to get back into them starting with these.

4. The Mercy Thompson Series by Patricia Briggs

This is a twelve book urban fantasy series that stars Mercedes “Mercy” Thompson, a coyote shape shifter/mechanic. I really loved the first book and always intended to read on in the series, but could never find a matching cover. I’m going to have to look harder.

5. The Memoirs of Lady Trent Series by Marie Brennan

I read A Natural History of Dragons years ago and still recommend it. Only last year I found out it was a series. This series focuses on Lady Trent, a proper Victorian lady who just happens to study dragons. Dragons, independent Victorian lady, and world travels? Yes please. Thank you.

6. The Shadow Game Series by Amanda Foody

This is a trilogy that focuses on Enne Salte and Levi Glasiyer in the city of New Reynes, the so called City of Sin. I loved the first book The Ace of Shades. I laughed, I cried, I gaped at the last few pages and screamed in frustration. I need to know what happens.

7. Shadow of the Fox trilogy by Julie Kagawa

I read the first book of this series this year and I thought I was going to hate it. There were things that made me so frustrated in the beginning and then I loved it. I gave this four stars walked into my office and told my fiance “I need the sequel now.” And I haven’t picked it up yet. The premise behind this is an own voices Japanese folklore inspired fantasy revolving around a half-kitsune girl named Yumeko. When demons kill her adopted family, she is forced to take possession of a piece of the Dragon Scroll, which every 1000 years can be used to summon the Dragon who will reshape the world.

8. Discworld by Terry Pratchett

Equal parts satire, fantasy, and humor, it is easy for me to say I love Terry Pratchett and have for a long time. I am rereading the first three of the Discworld series and have read several later in the series and the spinoff series. I want to read all Terry Pratchett books eventually, but these are a good place to start.

9. Binti by Nnedi Okorafor

Spoiler alert for my end of month wrap-up: I read Binti over the weekend and it was amazing. Seriously amazing. Possibly one of my top books of the year amazing. There’s not really a whole lot I can say without spoilers. It centers around a girl named Binti who is on her way to Oomza University when her ship is attacked by the Meduse. I can’t wait to read the rest of this series.

10. Mrs. Jeffries by Emily Brightwell

If you like Murder, She Wrote, you should pick up the Mrs. Jeffries series by Emily Brightwell. I recently read the second book I’ve read from the series and now I want to read all 34 books in order, from the beginning. Mrs. Jeffries works for Inspector Witherspoon as a housekeeper in Victorian London. With a found family of characters, she provides invaluable yet secret help to the Inspector on his cases. I like cozy mysteries, but I’m very picky. This satisfies everything I want and I have been kept guessing until the end.

That wraps up this very late post. I hope everyone enjoyed. What are some series you hope to continue?
