 this video is intended to shame me welcome to my channel i hope you're good today we i i don't want to fucking say it we are going to be talking about all of the book series i am currently reading and you may think megan in the middle of 32 books you know what i'm just gonna leave so yeah we're gonna go through every book series i am currently in the middle of there's 32 of them and it's made it's made even worse by the fact that in my lifetime i've only completed 11 series well not in my lifetime in the past few years of reading since 2019 since 2019 i've only completed um 11 11 book series so oh it's 36 i knew it was either 32 or 36 but i went with a lower number in the hope that was true no we're in the middle of 36 that's so bad it's so bad and the fact is before we even get into these i know i know that in the next couple weeks the next two weeks i'm starting three more series i'm just gonna start three more series i'm gonna be showing you my series tracker and the books are colour coded for if i read them in 2019 2020 or 2021 2019 is green 2020 is like a kind of pinky ready and 2021 is a purple and we're going to be going through the series in the order that i've read them so we're going to be starting with the series i've been reading for the longest time and ending with the series i started most recently now i'm actually in november going to be doing a video where you pick what series i make progress in so in the description box of this video there is going to be a link to a google form where you can vote on which of these series you want me to make progress in in a vlog if you're kind to me you may pick the series where i've only got one book left so i can finish that series off but do whatever you want you've got the power you can vote on three series each so you can pick the three series you would most likely to read and then in that vlog i'm gonna read them and i'm very excited i'm very excited to make some progress in series because that's something i always struggle to do as we as is going to be evidence so let's just begin shall we so the oldest series the series i've been reading the longest is the stalking jack the ripper series i have read the first two and i literally only read this like last week i need a drink so i've been reading this series for a long time i've given both of these like three stars i didn't really love either of them and some of you told me to just dnf the series but i do not want to i want to finish this series partly because i kind of like the covers i like how they look on my shelf so i do want to finish the series but yeah i've got two more to read in this one and i've been reading this the longest so it's kind of embarrassing that i haven't finished it yet next is nancy june mystery stories i've read the first three of these you'll notice it says set one for series like this where there's like 30 books i also do this for urky pro i split the series into five book instalments so this is the third one it's the only one i own physically i read the other two via audiobook we all know if you've watched my videos recently i want to read this whole series via the audiobook but you cannot find them anywhere the audiobook has just gone poof sorry i'm gone i'm gone but these are just fun you know lighthearted amount of mysteries that i do enjoy reading because nancy june is a massive part of my childhood then we have got the diviners series i read the diviners whoa come on everyone let's not do this i read the diviners in 2019 and then i read lair of dreams and before the devil break shoot in 2020 and i have still yet to read the final book the king of crows i have meant to read this many times this year me trying to finally read this book what am i gonna do i'll just manifest it might take me a while but i think i've heard a single good review for this book and it's long here's the thing i want to finish off this series because i have enjoyed parts of it i gave the diviners four stars lair of dreams like a four point five basically a five star and i gave before the devil break shoot like a two point five and i've heard this is even worse than before the devil break sheet so my motivation for finishing the series just kind of isn't there this is this uh fancy series set in 1920s new york we have the diviners who have kind of these special abilities these special powers and i do just kind of want to finish the series but this is a long book and the fact that no one has really liked it just like it doesn't make me want to read it but i do want to read it because i want to finish the series off then we have got the wayward children's series by shurella maguire i have read up to number six this is number five and number six i don't own the first four physically but i do want to because since i've started reading these physically i have much more preferred them i used to listen to the audiobooks and they've all been five stars since i started reading them physically so i do want to reread the first four physically at some point but um money and i do already own actually the seventh one where the drown girls go which i'm so excited for uh this comes out in january next year so i'm very lucky to have an arc of it i'm very excited for this one as well because we're following a character called cora who we met in come tumbling down who i was really interested in so i'm so excited to read this one and yeah this is one of my favorite series listen this series is going to be going on for like ever so i am all caught up with this series i'm not like guilting myself this one because it's gonna go on forever pretty much i think there's gonna be like 20 books so i'm never gonna finish this series it's never gonna get ticked off my list but i am very excited to read the next installment then we have got the truly devious series by maureen johnson so i have read the first three truly devious the vanishing stair and the hand on the wall and part of me wants to count this as a finished series because the way that this series is going to work from now on is that this is like a trilogy on its own and then the other books are like spin-offs so part of me thinks i should count this as a completed series and then the future books as a different series but it doesn't really make a difference on how many series i'm reading does it so the next one is called the box and the words i'm sure you've heard people speaking about it the problem i have with this series is i have the first three in paperback and i'm not about to buy the hardback i want them to match so the paperback traditionally has been coming out like a year after the hardback comes out so i'm just always a year late to these books so i don't want to read the box in the words yet i think the paperback is due to come out like june next year so i will get it then and i will make progress in the series then but right now i'm not going to then we have got one of my favorite fantasy series ever we have got girls of paper and fire and girls of storm and shadow by netash and yang this uh this series is one of the series that really got me into reading before i started my channel i just love this series i love these girls we're following these paper girls who are forced to sleep with the king and it's fantasy society and so it's obviously a very difficult book to read about but it's sapphic it's beautifully written the world building is incredible the last book in this series does come out in november but i think it's right at the end of november so i'm not a hundred percent sure if i'm going to put this on the list for you to vote for i don't think i'm going to put it on the list but hopefully i will read it anyway i don't think this is something that i need you to like vote on for me to read the book because i love the book so so much then another series i cannot make progress in because the next book is not out is ninth house by liba dugo now misley just give me a fucking title that's all i'm asking for just give me a fucking title please there's no other series in this list that i need the next book more than i need this i i how is it okay for her to drop this masterpiece of a book in 2019 just drop it on us and then like no news and like she told us she told us when i went i went to the signing for this book um hold off a second to megan she told us when i went to it she wanted us to be a seven book series and you're making me wait like three years at least for the next one i'm gonna be old i'm gonna have like 10-year-old children by the time by the time the last book in this is coming out anyway alex turn set it yell murder mystery fantasy incredible series amazing don't know when the next book is coming out we don't have a title we don't have an estimated date of release i'm just like misley buddy go please please i'm begging you i'm begging i need a scrap of something up the way this book ended next is my next set of urquiporo books it's this slightly out of order because we're gonna get into books that i started now in 2020 but obviously this i read in 2021 because i started urquiporo overall in 2020 but i've read the first five so this is number six the next one is perilla endhouse which i don't own i do love a bit of urquiporo i love a bit like the christie i'm making my way through them slowly i find with miss agatha we're very hit or miss like i'm never gonna call her one of my favorite authors because i've given loads of my books five stars i've given loads like two stars one star so like we're very not on the same page okay next let's quickly fly through some middle grade series i started these all in the same vlog where i started three middle grade series and then i haven't made progress in any of them i started all these last year first we've got the sin claire's mysteries i read the clockwork sparrow i do own the next one the george moth i don't think i'm gonna vlog reading this series but this is like a mystery series set in edwardian england set in this department store called sin claire's is very cute um this is actually the one i rated lowest out of all of the books in that video but i do want to continue with these series because they're cute middle grades and i feel like they are books that i could read outside of reading vlogs just for my own enjoyment but yeah i love this kind of era i love middle grade i love mystery so i don't want to continue with this one i also started a pinch of magic by michelle harrison this is like three sisters with an ancient curse and they're working together as friends and as sisters to solve it i don't own the second one to this yet but i really loved this one this one was so magical and whimsical i also started pages and co by tilly and the book wonders at this point during editing i started to get overwhelmed at just how many series i'm currently reading girl i just can't take this there's too much give my puppy book i'm leaving i do own tilly and the lost fairytales the next one in the pages and co series this is about this girl who can like walk into books and like books can emerge into the world around her it's just magical again so i do really want to make progress in these middle grades this is complete evidence of my problem i often start series for vlogs and i don't continue them so hopefully i'll make progress in some of these middle grade series soon because i need to okay next we've got a series that i'm almost finished i'm hoping maybe to finish it in the next couple months it's binti and i've read the first two i've read binti and home and i do own the night masquerade i just read these as ebooks they're literally only like a hundred pages long i could literally read the night masquerade tonight if i wanted to but i'm not going to this is like science fiction fantasy i don't really want to say too much about what it's about because i am so far removed from the first book that i definitely have forgotten what's a spoiler i feel like a lot is a spoiler because they're only like a hundred pages so like what the am i gonna talk about crazy kind of plots very very interesting and i own the last one so i could i could finish this series very soon if i wanted to next is a very exciting series i'm very excited to make progress in it's not as soon as you have to read in any kind of order but it's the um forgotten women series which i love i've only read the leaders but i do own the writers now this is nonfiction about forgotten women throughout history it's got like illustrations about them all and it just has a couple you know lines about their lives and i just love this series i love learning about forgotten women throughout history i just love learning about forgotten women and these stories it should have been told but because of like patriarchy and things like that they won and these women were forgotten so i love this series there's four in total um obviously i've read the first one have this one and then there's two more next you're all gonna yell at me but it's the stranger dreamer duology by lany taylor there's a few series on this list that i said when i read them i need to read this next book straight away i need to read this next book straight away and then i didn't and this is one of them i can't i can't i've tried it and i failed i can't i'm sure you know this is following like laszlo strange in this magical and mythical world this is a super popular series on booktube i really enjoyed stranger dreamer i loved how beautiful the writing star was but the plot like dragged a little bit in the middle for me but the beginning and the ending were five stars and the middle was like three stars so i think i gave it a four star overall so yeah i do own music nightmares but it's wrapped up still remember wrapped up i haven't done that in a couple months but yeah need to read music nightmares at some point because then this is a duology and then i finished it i just realized i've been speaking for way too long we need to hurry up should we speed it up a little bit i'm gonna like race through some of these because otherwise this video is gonna be like a hundred years long we have got the is it green holiday orgy yeah by emily tesh i have read silver in the word i haven't read dran county another one feel free to shame me for because it's only this long it's only this long and i haven't read it and it's one of my favorite covers for some reason i love this cover i think it's so eerie so different this is like fantasy about these guys living in this word and it's interesting i've never really read anything else like this then we have the theme is files by sylvain new val i gave the first one sleeping giants five stars i listened to the audiobook and it meant i bought the audiobooks and the physical books for books two and three so i have literally no excuse because i have the audiobooks and the physical books because i love this series well the start of this series so much it is these files so it's all told through interviews and kind of description logs but mostly interviews with our characters and it's about these sleeping giants or these kind of robotic creatures that would be impossible for humans to have made being discovered and like body parts being scattered around the earth and it's incredible the audiobooks are amazing i would really recommend to listen to the audiobooks this is another one i have no excuse for because i have both of them and it's one that i have said to myself i was gonna prioritize getting to and then cal supreme i haven't then two more series that i can't make any progress in i've read up to date we have got the singing hill cycle by nivo i have read the empress of salt and fortune and when the tiger came down the mountain the next one is into the riverlands it comes out early next year sometime these are beautiful beautiful novellas if you like novellas if you like short books these ones by tour are like my number one recommendation i think some of the most beautiful writing ever i'm not going to get them all out but we've obviously got the heart stop her graphic novel series i think number five is the final one that comes out next year i've read one to four i don't know how i'm gonna act when when number five comes out i think i'll cry because that's it then the then the series is finished that's one series i don't want to finish i want that series to go on forever i feel good i feel bad i feel happy i feel sad i feel great i feel compassionate i feel kind i feel courageous and then another one which i can't make any progress in is the middle game series the second one for this is coming out next year it's called seasonal fears and i am very nervous for this one because i don't feel like this should be a series like middle game was a perfect standalone i read it thinking it was going to be a standalone and then it turns out we're getting another one and i'm like i'm not so sure about that it makes me so nervous like this should be a standalone i don't know how shawna mogwai is gonna do it but i trust shawna mogwai in everything so i want to scream like this should okay and then the last series i started in 2020 is the popular series by rf quang i do own books two and three but look how big they are this is the reason i have not made progress in this series jack and republic and the burning god they are so long they are so scary to me that i just don't want to make progress in this series i just don't want to do it i feel like i need to finish these at some point but like i kind of want you to vote for these for the vlog because you know this is so long imagine me trying to that's what stops me i just can't imagine trying to read this right now long books and me like aren't necessarily working out okay and now we're into series that i started this year there's a few of these i can't make any progress in because obviously some of them are new releases one is the year of the witching by lexus and henderson the second one of this series has now been confirmed to be coming out it's going to be called the dawn of the coven and i'm very very excited about it but i don't know when it's coming out because on all the release things it says like december this year but we haven't even had a cover reveal so i don't believe that i don't know when it's going to be coming out this is this amazing combination of historical and fantasy and it's set around this cult this religious cult and it was just oh this amazing horror this slow burn horror with feminist themes i loved it but yeah i can't make any progress in it so it's not on me this isn't my fault now the next one is my fault because remember remember when i said there's a few books there's a few series in this video that i said i need to finish this series straight away when i read it this is one of them it is the uh broken earth trilogy so the fifth season by nk jemisin i own because i asked for them i think for my birthday books two and three because i remember saying to myself this series is so confusing and big brained and like requires so much thinking and remembering of things that i need to read books two and three straight away and guess what i didn't do guess what i didn't do everyone i have not read them i wasn't expecting that at all i literally had no idea what the book was about because everyone struggles to describe this just know it's a very clever fantasy that requires a lot of brain and um it's very confusing one of my patrons just finished the series and said that the stone sky the last one requires the most amount of thought of anything yet um yeah i'm really going to like find a way to reacquaint myself with what happens in this before i start the rest of this series let's just quickly go through the ones very first that i also can't make any progress in because i've read up to date we've got legend born by tracy dion uh this is this fantasy again set like in a school environment it's an atherian retelling now i didn't love this book for the vast majority of it i didn't really enjoy it but the ending was very interesting and i love the direction that the book went in so i'm hoping that i'm gonna love the next one then we have got amari and the night brothers i am so excited for amari and the great game to come out the second one this is one of my favorite middle grades i have ever read like i think it's this amazing school setting magical school setting it's got you know a game to it amari is such an interesting character so yeah i feel like i will read the second one pretty fast when it does come out and then when i just started is a song of race and ruin by rosanne a brown this is like a west african inspired fantasy we're following these two main characters who want to kill each other and um i believe this is a geology as well so hopefully i will read the second one quickly when it comes out to finish this series and take it off my list oh and also we have got a history of what comes next by sylvain nouvel this is this really imaginative historical retelling of the space race it was so interesting as you can tell sylvain nouvel is probably my favorite sci-fi writer the second in this series which is called until the last of me i think comes out next year so another one i think i will read quite quickly i feel like this is a geology as well but it's very strange this book it has like no speech no speech marks in it and it's very weird not a lot of people love this but i really enjoyed it one of the series i'm most excited to finish is the a good girls guy tomato series i have read the first two you'll know this is one of my favorite series i've started this year i've read good girls guy tomato and good girl bad blood i do own as good as dead the third one it's sitting over there i this is my favorite why a murder mystery i have ever read i think it's an amazing why a murder mystery that you need to read it's just so imaginative it's told like through this mixed media and um yeah i've owned the last book for like a couple about a month now and i'm kind of ashamed i haven't got to it so like i do want to read that soon but i don't currently have any video plans too so like oh we have got the raven boys we've got the raven cycle i started it this year i didn't love the raven boys but i already own the second one and i've owned it for a long time so we're gonna continue on with this series at some point i feel like i could love it because my problem with this was that i felt like this was just setting up the rest of the series but i'm hoping we'll get into this kind of whimsical crazy fantastical world in book two so i'm hoping for great things but i did not love the raven boys then i started daughter smoke and bone by lanie taylor again a bit of a disappointment i didn't enjoy this as much as strange the dreamer yeah i didn't like the storyline i didn't like the romance i didn't like how it ended but i do again i want to continue on the series because i love lanie taylor um so one of my patrons just actually recently gifted me days of blood and starlight which is the second one i do love these new uk covers i think they're really really pretty a series i've actually made really good progress in this year is the brown sisters romances so i have read the first two get a lifeclothes brown and take hint denny brown so i've only got the last one to read actual age e brown my mum has actually just read all of these she really loved them i've read this series quite quickly because they're so easy to get into these romances for these sisters they're so cute they're great contemporary romances so yeah i feel like again this is one that i may read soon then a series i've spoken about quite a bit that i'm making progress through is the lady hardcastle mysteries by te kinsey this is my favorite probably that cozy historical mystery series i've been listening to the audiobooks but i think i am gonna start um getting the the physical books as well there are only 4.99 for the physical book and also i've got the audiobooks free on the script i just love these audiobooks so because both the first two have been five stars for me i feel like this is a series it's going to just continue to be five stars for me so i think i am going to start getting the physical books as well but obviously listening along because the audiobooks are incredible like they remind me a little bit of how good the strange case of the alchemist daughter audiobooks are not quite as good but a really good narrator who just brings this like story of these cozy mysteries between a lady and her maid to life talented brilliant incredible amazing show stopping spectacular two that i started in the same video we have got uh the hongin murders by shoshi yokomizo and before the coffee gets held by toshikazu karuguchi this only has one other book so another one that hopefully i will read soon ish so that i could tick it off my list and this one is part of like a kind of urkuporo length detective series but only this one and the inugami clan have been translated to english the last series i started was j city by fondly the the green bone saga i think it's called yes i enjoyed this but i didn't love it as much as i wanted to i think i gave this like a 3.5 stars it's this very rich amazing fantasy series but it just dragged a little bit for me more than i wanted it to but i still really really enjoyed it um it was a very amazing interesting book that i'm very excited to carry on and finish the last two books in the series i think jade legacy is just about to come out but jade war is definitely out so i could make progress in a series if i wanted to but uh so there we have it that is all of the series that i am currently partway through my floor is a mess with all of these books this kind of just like actually visually makes me realize what a what a situation i've got myself into um but hopefully i will make some progress in these series towards the end of this year i would love to get a few off my list but i know i'm just going to be starting new ones so like it's a problem it's a real real problem i need to get some of the books off this list but i only have one book left in the series and just finish it so you have the power for that vlog next month to decide which of these series i am going to make some progress in again i will leave the link down below where you can vote on them thank you so much for watching this video i feel like it's going to be quite a long one i've got to go and race and edit it now because i want it to go up this evening if you've gone to end this video comment the shocked face emoji because i'm sure it'll shock and ashamed of me that i've got triple the amount of series to finish that i have finished ever i love you very much thank you so much for watching you're amazing i'll see you very soon in another video bye
