 My goodness, taking a thumbnail for this is going to be a nightmare. Oh no, what have I done? Hello, hello everyone. My name is Laura and this is my channel, Laura's Little Library. And welcome to today's video where I will be talking about all the series that I still need to finish. So last year, talking about all the series that I need to finish. And I think since last year I have not finished any series or very few, but I have definitely added some series. So I have a large list of series that I need to finish. And I would like to finish them soon because here's the issue. I want to, I'm in the mood to sit down, start and finish a whole new series. But I don't, I should not start a new series. I do not need to start a new series. I have so many that I'm in the middle of. Some of them are, all the books are out for the series. So I can finish them. So that's what I should focus on doing first. So I'm kind of making this video to remind me of all the series that I can finish before I go and start a new one. And in this video I'm including duologies, trilogies and series. So it's just any book that has any sort of, I'm not including companion novels, just like books that come after another. So I have six duology. Also, one thing I should mention is that for some of these, I don't know how many books are going to be in the series. So I don't know if they're just going to be duologies, just going to be trilogies. I'm not 100% on some of them. So I will let you know what ones I'm unsure of. But I think I have six duologies to start off with. So the first duology I want to talk about is the Storm Seasons of the Storm by El Casimano. I recently read the first book, and then the second book, Seasons of Chaos, came out pretty recently, I believe. And I will be getting the audiobook from my library for that one soon. I don't know if there's going to be another book after that or not. If it's just going to be the two, or if it's going to be three or more, I don't know. I really hope that it's only two though, because I like the storyline for this one, but I don't really want to read it past two books. I want the next book to be the ending. This basically follows the idea that the seasons are actually human beings, and there are multiple humans for every season. And the seasons change by having the next season hunt and kill them, and then they regenerate in the world of Chronos. And then when it's time for their season, they are released and they kill the previous season. So it's that kind of cycle. Our main characters here decide that they don't want to do that anymore because two of them are in love. And so they decide to break out of Chronos' little area. And they are in the real world, and they're trying to figure out how they are going to survive and how they're going to escape Chronos. So I just started this. I read this in November. So if you want to know more thoughts about it, you can check out my November wrap up. Hopefully I will get to this in January, and hopefully it will be the last book. And I can just have that first duology being ticked off and done. The next books that I'm going to talk about, the second book has yet to come out. I again don't know if it's going to be a duology or if there are going to be more. These things aren't always said on Goodreads, and if they're not said on Goodreads, I don't really know because I just assume that the story itself is going to let me know if there's another book coming. But that is The Ravens, and this is by Cass Morgan and Danielle Page. And so I read this one as a part of my Witch's Week in October. So I will link that vlog up here or down below as well. I really enjoyed this book. It follows the sorority, which is also a coven of witches, and some spooky things start happening, and they need to figure it out. So I read this one and I loved it. The Monarchs, I believe, is the second book that is coming out soon. So it's fair that I haven't finished it. But again, I started a new series relatively recently. The next one I'm going to talk about, I again started during my reading extravaganza, and that was for the Ghost Week, and that is Sheets. So Sheets has a second book called Delicates. I think it's just a duology, I think. Again, I'm so sorry I'm not informed on many of this. But I've read Sheets, I thought it was okay. I was thinking that I would pick up Delicates maybe next spooky season. I'm not really in a rush to finish this just because I thought it was an okay book. But I also, I think I want to pick up Delicates from the library and read it. If I like it, then I'll buy it and just have the complete duology. If I kind of have the same myth feelings, then I might just unhaul this one and just not own the series. But yeah, that's kind of where I'm at for this one. Moving on, I have Love Boat Type A by Abigail Hing Wen, and I am so excited. So this book follows a girl who just wants to dance, but her parents are not a big fan of her wanting to make dance her career. So they send her to a program in Taipei where she learns about her heritage and learns to speak Mandarin and learns all these different things of her culture. And so it's her adventures and it's based off of, well, Abigail Hing Wen was sent on this program. It is a real thing. And so she uses her experience to write her books. The second book, Love Boat Reunion, is coming out on I think January 25. If you want more information on it, you can check out my video with the books that are coming out. I believe that video will be going. If it's not already up, it will be up very soon. So you should definitely check out that video. I believe it's a sequel to this one, but this one is also being adapted. And so I don't know if more books are coming out. I kind of get the feeling that, like, because this book did so well, there is a sequel, rather than it's meant to be a long series. But again, I could be wrong. But this one, the second book in this series hasn't come out yet. So it makes sense that I haven't read it. But as soon as it does come out, you better believe I'm going to be picking it up because I really much enjoyed this. And if you want more thoughts on this book, I read it during a dance-themed reading vlog. So again, you can find the link to that down below or above here, you know, here, wherever, something like that. Yeah, that is another duology. I thought this, when I picked it up, I thought it was going to be a standalone. I didn't realize that there was going to be another book coming out when I read it. So it was an unintentional start of one, but I'm glad I started it though because, ugh, I liked it a lot. Next I have a song of racing ruins, and this is by Roseanne A. Brown. The second book, a solemn of storm and silence. I think that's what it's called. I know it's red. That book has come out, and I just haven't picked it up yet. I was thinking that I would probably buy it once I bought a new version of this because I am going to unhaul this one because it doesn't have a complete cover and it's kind of beat up, but yeah. For more information on that, you can see my unhaul video, but I did love this book, so I am repurchasing it, and I should pick up the second book. I don't know why I haven't picked up the second one because I like this. So the last duology that I'm going to talk about, I don't own either of the books, but I would like to, and that is Wicked Fox by Kat Cho. I listened to the first one like a few years ago, and the second one, Vicious Spirits, has come out, and I do want to read it. I just, I haven't, and again, I don't know why, because I knew when it came out because there was a lot of buzz when it came out, and for some reason I just never put a hold on the library for it. So I think that is something that next year in January, I'm going to put a hold on all the audiobooks of the series that I haven't finished reading. So, yeah, but again, because I don't own the first one, I don't see it whenever I look at my bookshelves and think, oh, what should I read? So I haven't picked it up, and I think that's the thing. When I buy books and series, I buy the first book, because if I don't like it, then I don't want the entire series, that's just to waste the money, so then I would unhaul it. But then if I read the first book and I like it, then I need to get the next book. But that's not as easy as it sounds. I mean, it is, it is a very easy thing to do, is to go online and buy it, or go to a bookstore and buy it. But like, I just, I've been really bad about doing that, and now that I have a $20 limit per month, I'm not going to be able to go out and buy all the next books in the series that I want to continue whenever I want. It's going to be a much slower process of getting those books, so we'll see. But like I said, these are all series that I want to finish. So let's move on to trilogies now. I have something like 15 trilogies that I haven't finished that I want to, and I say something like, again, I don't know if they're going to be just trilogies, but I feel like there are a lot of trilogies, like more trilogies than series in the genres that I read, so this is my biggest category by far. The first trilogy that I'm going to talk about, I've read the first two books, but I haven't read the third. And I actually own the third. That's The Toll by Neil Shusterman in the Ark of the Scythe trilogy. I read the first one's Scythe. I read the second one's Thunderhead. I haven't read The Toll because I didn't want to pick it up immediately after finishing Thunderhead because I wanted to just sit and mull over what just happened. But then I just never, and then whenever I was like, okay, I should read The Toll. I would look at how like thick it is and I would get a little intimidated and I was saying, you know, I can wait a little bit longer. But now it's been like a couple of years and I should really finish this. I, like I said, I actually own it and I love the trilogy. I've been wanting to finish it, but it's just, if I finish it, that means it's done, but it's also so chunky. So I don't have a good excuse for not finishing this. I really don't, but it will be a goal next year is to finally finish this trilogy. The next series that I'm going to talk about is one that I again started recently in Ghost Week for my reading, spooky season reading show again, so I read City of Ghost by Victoria Schwab. This was my first Victoria Schwab or BE Schwab or any of that human beings books that I've ever read. This is the first one and I really enjoyed it. I liked it a lot. It is a middle grade series that follows the main character who can see ghosts. And so I read the first book but there are two more. It's a trilogy. We're in the trilogy section. And so it hasn't been that long since I've read it, you know? So it's been like two months. So it makes sense that I haven't picked up the other ones. I think this might be, this might be a trilogy where I buy the next one, next spooky season, so I'll be less focused on finishing the trilogy as fast as possible and just enjoying it each spooky season. So I don't feel too pressured with this one. I think almost every book I read in Ghost Week was probably some form of series or trilogy because the other book that I read, The Summoning, is also the first in a trilogy. Now the thing is, I was gifted this entire trilogy so I actually have the second and third in this trilogy but again, because it was part of my reading and so I didn't read the entire trilogy. I like this book. I gave it 3 out of 5 stars. I thought, you know, it's fine. It's a bit of an older book and I don't know how well it's aged. Like it's YA, but it's like old YA so it's a little younger. But I have the rest of the trilogy and it's probably a series that I am going to just pick up and finish soon and not wait for next spooky season just because like, like I don't mind. It's a trilogy. It's a solid trilogy that I think I just want to finish. So this will be a priority for next year as well. The next series that I'm going to talk about is The Skullomance Trilogy by Naomi Novick. And I'm sorry, you can hear like our door moves every time a neighbor opens their door or the door to go outside the building so I'm sorry about that. But I again read A Deadly Education for my dark academia reading vlog. I love this book. The second book, The Last Graduate, just came out last month. So it was a recent release so it makes sense why I haven't picked it up yet. And then I believe there is going to be a third book. I think Goodreads says that there is going to be three but we know absolutely nothing about the third one because you know, the second one just came out. So I hope to pick up The Last Graduate soon and this is the trilogy where as soon as the book comes out I want to pick it up and read it. I'm not going to wait for spooky season but because it's still coming out it'll still be a bit of time. But oh my gosh I love this one and I'm so looking forward to the next book. Moving on I have the Deathless Trilogy by Namina Forna so the first one is the Gilded Ones. The second book, The Merciless Ones is coming out next year. So it makes perfect sense why I haven't picked it up. Like I'm not under stress at all but I know as soon as that book comes out I'm going to want to read it. So not too much to say about this one because it's not my fault that I haven't finished the series. Normally I like to wait until the series is completely out before I start it just so I can do one right after the next and I don't have to deal with this long wait in between and I won't forget things that happen hopefully but with this one I just couldn't resist. When I picked it up I didn't know it was going to be the first in a series but I'm not mad. So yeah I really should be for a lot of these just waiting until all the books come out and then making a video saying series I need to finish because there are a lot more on here than I realized that the series is still coming out so it's not always my fault that I haven't read them but there are still quite a few on here where the series is completely out and it is completely my fault that I have not finished the series. Let's move on so the next one is the storm runner and I do not it's like J.P. Cervantes I think it's a record and presents so it's a middle grade and it focuses on Mexican mythology and I enjoyed listening to it obviously I don't own it the second book just came out so again not my fault I have no idea how many books are going to be in this trilogy nobody no idea how many books are going to be on the trilogy no idea the series it could be a trilogy it could be a duology it could be more plus I do not know but I'm inserting it here because the second book just came out next up is The Inheritance Gains by Jennifer Lynn Barnes this is the first in its trilogy which I know is a trilogy the second book The Hawthorn Legacy somewhere in the stacks around me I think it's at the bottom of the stack right here so I'm not going to pull it out but I own the first two I've read the first one and the third one is coming out next year and it's called The Final Gambit so the fact that it says final in the title makes me think it's only going to be a trilogy and that's going to be it and I'm really excited to read the second one the second one The Hawthorn Legacy has been on my fall TBR my December TBR my winter TBR so I I keep saying I'm going to read it and then I'm not so again it's going to be a priority for next year because it's on my winter TBR I'm hoping to have it done by February by the time winter is done ish ish so and then by that point I should be all set to go for when the final gambit comes out and then hopefully I will get a copy of that and read it and just be done the next one is a series that I don't own any of the books all of the books are out though so this is Serpent and Dove I've read Serpent and Dove I've read Blood and Honey and Gods and Monsters is out I just haven't read it yet I think my issue was that when I read Blood and Honey I didn't like it quite as much but I also had to wait for God and Monsters to come out and then by the time God and Monsters did come out I was like I don't remember anything past the halfway point of Blood and Honey so I needed to reread Blood and Honey except that I remember not liking it near as much as Serpent and Dove so I don't want to reread it and it's it's this cycle it's this plummeting cycle of I need to reread it so I can read this book but I don't want to but if I start the third book I'm gonna be so confused so I'm kind of in this maybe physically reading will be nicer but if I'm gonna physically read it then I need to start at the beginning and buy Serpent and Dove before I can get Blood and Honey and then God's and Monsters plus I'm nervous for God's and Monsters I haven't seen that many reviews of it which is kind of strange but I think it's because people kept putting the series down after Blood and Honey but I want to finish it I hate not finishing series unless I absolutely hated a book so I just need to suck it up Buttercup and reread Blood and Honey maybe I'll enjoy it more now that my expectations are significantly lowered and then I can move on and finish the trilogy then I have another Rick Rohrden presents and this is the Paula Santiago the first one is in the River of Tears and I read that one the second one came out recently and I have not read it I think it's going to be a trilogy I do not know someone came out so I should read it but I just haven't gotten there yet and again with Rick Rohrden presents books I want to read them because they all sound interesting because they're all mythology and I love mythology but I also want to own them so I'm also just kind of like oh I don't want to read the next Paula Santiago until I buy the first one yeah I'm kind of putting myself in a rut with this one I keep saying the next one or moving on because I feel like it gets very repetitive so I'm just going to say the Crown of Shards is another trilogy I read Kill the Queen this one this is the first one Protect the Princess the second one I bought it from the library and I started to read it but I just wasn't feeling it in the moment so and this is another one of those trilogies where I want to read it from the library first because I don't know if I'm going to keep this book or not because of it I like it enough to keep it for now but like I said Protect the Prince I can just get from the library and once I am in the mood for it which I think right now could be a mood for it I am going to read it all the books are out all the books were out before I picked this one up so it's like Kill the Queen Protect the Prince and something with the King this is very much a book about because I didn't like it quite as much as I wanted to I am less motivated to read it so I need to be in the right mood so I don't feel bad about that because I'm in the right mood right now I feel like maybe I should go to the library and pick it up other than that I don't feel bad I'll get to it eventually when I feel like it and when the time is right you know because sometimes for some books the time has to be right oh the next book is way up there so I'm not going to grab it because I'm sitting down and my body does not want me to move but that is Binti there it's a very small book and I actually read this for my old English class and I liked it a lot so I own the first one there are three I haven't seen it in stores quite as much probably because I don't really go to the sci-fi area near as much but yeah I'm interested in finishing this trilogy I didn't initially plan on finishing the trilogy because it was a book I read for university but the more I thought about it and the more I think about it now I'm like yeah I enjoyed it enough outside of school to want to read it so the next one is interesting because I don't quite know what's going on with it it's the legacy of Orisha so Children of Blood and Bone I read Children I'm blanking on the second one but I've read the first two and those are the two that have come out it looks like there might be a third but it's just been a while and I haven't heard anything on that front and I know the second one didn't quite go over as well so I don't quite know what's happening with this series if there is a third one that comes out I am interested in reading it otherwise I'm caught up I'm going to give it another like two years and if no third book comes out then I finished the series and it shouldn't be on this list but if the third one does come out then you know I'll pick it up and I'll read it but for now I'm caught up which is pretty good for me we're almost there with the trilogy it's because the next one that I'm going to talk about is the Bone Witch trilogy I was getting these books through the library and I read the first one I read the second one and I cannot for the life of me remember if I read the third one I really don't think I did but I also remember almost nothing from the second one like I was just confused and I felt like I was almost zoned out just the entire book so I want to reread definitely the second one if not also the first one and just kind of restart the trilogy I know I love the first one so I don't quite know what happened with the second one but yeah so all the books are out I was reading it as the third book was coming out so that's just another trilogy that I need to get back into now for this one when I picked up the first one I didn't know it was part of a trilogy I'm pretty sure all three books are out right now yeah all three books are out I don't think there are more coming but that is alive by this is the generation trilogy by Scott Sigler I own the first one alive and I've only read the first one this is a sci-fi series which I don't read a lot of sci-fi but I did enjoy this one there was a huge twist at the end which I really loved and so but the thing is is that reading the description for the second book and like knowing what the twist is I I think I'll like it like I'm still going to read it and give it a try but it's not one that really captured my interest so it's kind of one of the ones where I'd be fine not finishing but I also want to finish for the sake of finishing and also what if I end up really loving the second one like the first one so it's not going to be a priority and the last the last one the last trilogy is one that I just started and I actually finished the first book two days before filming this video so I knew that I was going to be filming this video and I realized halfway through reading this book that oh this is a this is a trilogy that I would include but it's not that bad so it's the name of the world trilogy I can't remember the name of the world because it wasn't mentioned much in the book but it's like Emerson or something and more something this book is the hunt of the grimoire there are it's a trilogy but it also has a companion novel to the trilogy you don't need to read the trilogy to read the companion novel and vice versa so I finished this first one a couple days ago I read it in a day I own all the books in the trilogy and the companion novel so really to me it feels more like a series just because there are four books in the world but technically it's a trilogy so this one in a day and I honestly think I could finish the trilogy in a day and then maybe even read the companion novel in the same day or like the day after so this is one that I want to make a priority just because I can get it done very soon so I think sometime in like January or February I'm just gonna have like a weekend maybe I'll even do a reading vlog just reading all the books in this trilogy because I have them in finishing the trilogy so so now we can move on to series finally the last category the series one is a little bit complicated because there are a couple series where technically what I'm talking about is a trilogy but there are more books so for example this first one I do not own any of them there's the main trilogy and then there are like a couple other trilogies or duologies or just other books the Grishaverse I read Shadow and Bone and then that's the only thing in the Grishaverse that I read so I was borrowing this series from a friend in high school I borrowed the first one I read it I borrowed the second one but I didn't have enough time to read it and then we graduated and I moved to a different country so I didn't get to borrow the books from her and then I kind of forgot about it for a little bit but then when I joined it's really hard to forget about the Grishaverse because you know it's everywhere as it should be but I was like oh my word I need to finish that but because the adaptation was coming out people were really excited for it and so when I went to the library to finish the series it wasn't there and there were such long lines on the holds so I just I never got access to the rest of the main trilogy and I don't want to read the other books until I finish the main trilogy and I didn't want to buy the trilogy quite yet I just kind of wasn't ready for it so hopefully now that everybody has read the books I can go to the library and finish the initial trilogy and then I'll buy the trilogy and then I will continue on with the Grishaverse so I put this one under series because I want to read all of the Grishaverse and I have seen season one of Shadow and Bone I will say but I don't want to two until I've read the second book makes sense but yeah that's also just a slightly intimidating one just because of how much there is in the world and how far behind everyone else I am I want to read it and I want to enjoy it but I don't want to be like judged or feel like I'm so far behind everyone else so I've been debating if I want to do a reading vlog for that one as well but I also because everyone else put up their reading vlogs and reread reading vlogs of it like way back of the very first season so I'm very late to the game I know but I want to be in the game but I'm just subtly flying under the radar for now let's talk about the Shadow Me series by Tara Muffy I read the first one Shadow Me over audiobook and then none of the rest of the series was on audiobook if I start something on audiobook I want to finish it on audiobook if I start reading something physically I want to finish it physically yes I am holding unravel me the second book I haven't read it because again I want the audiobook but I need to get over it I also think I need to reread the first one so I think I'm going to buy eventually the first book Shadow Me reread it and then I can read this one series I don't care that other people say like the initial trilogy is better and the last added on three are like meh I'm still going to read it all no matter what but I just I need to I need to get a better handle on my access to this series first again I know I'm so late to the game here but I don't really care and then I also have the school for good and evil series and I think it's a main trilogy but then there are other books within the world so I'm counting it adds more of a series rather than just the trilogy because I want to read it all I own the first and the second one I've read the first one and the second one again has been on my TBR it's on like my December TBR my winter TBR stuff like that I don't think I'll get to it until next year in January but who knows but yeah this is a series I'm definitely going to prioritize and I am hoping to buy the third one soon so like I am very much prioritizing this series A because I love the series B there's an adaptation coming out so yes I need to read the second book and I hope to read it soon once I finish all the prompts for the reindeer readathon and then I will focus on some of my other books which is a trilogy technically but I'm counting it as a six book series because so the My Lady Janies which are Cynthia Hand Brody Ashton and Jardine Meadows wrote three books in the My Lady Janie series so it's technically a trilogy here I have My Climby Jane technically they're all companion novels though because like they don't feed one after another you don't have to read My Climby Jane in order to read like My Lady Jane or whatever the other one My Plain Jane so it's I guess it's not really a series and I know I said I wasn't including like companions but but they also have they're starting on their Mary's so they have like my contrarian Mary so I want to read them I've only read this one and I started with this one because I thought it would be my least favorite but yeah I just haven't gotten to the rest of them I'm not in a rush but I would really like to I've been wanting to read more historical fiction anyway but this is like historical fiction and also like not even close to reality because they put these really fun little magical twists on them so yeah but this this is another one that I have started and I want to continue so the next two that I'm going to talk about are actually manga and so I'm including them on this list because you know they're series they have multiple volumes but I am working my way through these at a pretty decent pace but I fear that I'm about to slow down so I have Spy X Family this is still coming out I believe their volume seven is coming out sometime next year I pre I ordered the first six volumes and I pre-ordered the seventh one but because so many of them were out of stock I only got volumes four and six but I've only read volumes one and two so as soon as three, five get here I can be caught up and then I'll get the seventh one when it comes out so this one is not my fault I'm in a pretty good place as soon as I get the books I'm going to read them because like I just fly through manga but then there's also Horomia and for this one I was sent volumes one two four but I read through volume six because I have a friend of mine who has these so again I'm not like caught up but the thing is is that I want to buy all the volumes before I continue reading but my friend if he buys the next few volumes then I'm going to read them so it's kind of dependent on who gets there first if he buys them first or if I catch up I'll buy them next so again no real pressure to read these because I'm working on it and it's great I love it oh my goodness two more left hang in I know this is a long video it's long on me too trust me but this next one also has interesting stories of course because all of these have stories that I think are interesting but are probably super boring but that is so stocking check the Ripper by Carrie Menis Galco it took me so long I started reading this two years ago all the books are out there are four books in the series Carrie Menis Galco has moved on to writing her next series but it took me a very long time to get my hands on the second book not my fault I ordered it through thrift books and then thrift books decided to cancel it and not give me my money back and not tell me that they canceled it was a whole whole thing but I finally got the second book Hunting Prince Dracula and I read it this past spooky season but because I enjoyed reading this for spooky season last year and then Hunting Prince Dracula this past year I'm thinking I'm going to buy the next book the next two books the 2dini one and capturing the devil in the next two years for each spooky seasons because they've just been great about reading at spooky season so again not super pressure if I get the books faster than that I will read them faster than that because I do love the series but again not the biggest priority and it's okay finally the last series that I started and not finished I don't think the series is actually finished coming out but the first six books are out the sixth book came out earlier this year so that is the Waiver Children's Series by Shawna McGuire I owned the first two I've read the first two I recently bought these and I've recently read the second one I read it in December so like I'm working my way through it again it's one of those where once I buy the next book I will read it and so I will be slowly buying the series I would love to finish it and I will obviously but again it's one that I'm gonna take my time because I have so many other series in this stack that I want to like now or I have all the books now so I think if I focus my attention on reading all the series where all the books have come out already I can finish those and then by the time I turn my attention back to the series where books are still coming out they will have come out so hopefully this all works out I let's count how many series that was that was 29 series I have started 29 series and I have not finished them I I swear I do complete series occasionally I have completed series before in my life and I will probably start more series next year but I'm hoping that I can really get this list down to a smaller list to where it's just series where I'm waiting on the next book so if I could get 29 down to like 10 this year that would be great I would be very happy I would be satisfied so thank you for sticking with me if you made it to this point to the long through this long video let me know down below what series you have started that you haven't finished whether it's because you're waiting for the next book or you just haven't picked the next one up yet let me know give this video thumbs up if you liked it otherwise subscribe I normally post on Sundays and Wednesdays I also have bookish social media down below that you can find and follow and we can be friends and then I can see what you're reading and we can recommend books to each other which I think sounds fun but yeah until I see you all in the next video I wish you a happy reading
