A while ago I saw Lauren from TheBookishFairy do a post on the book series she’s started but hasn’t finished yet & I decided to do it as a tag & name her as the creator (although she got the idea from some booktubers)! You can see Lauren’s post on the series she hasn’t finished here!

1. The Plantagenet & Tudor Novels Series by Phillipa Gregory
The first series I have started but haven’t finished is a historical fiction one that I absolutely adore! Thankfully, these books don’t necessarily need to be read in any specific order (depending on your knowledge of English history) so I can pick up any of these books whenever I feel like it… the reason I haven’t done this for a while though, is because they can be quite long so it can take aaaages to finish them whilst I’m working. Once I’ve finished the Outlander books I may pick up the rest of this series though; which I’ll only read on Mondays!

2. The Sookie Stackhouse books by Charlaine Harris
I originally picked up this series from the library because I was a huge fan of the television adaptation (True Blood), but unfortunately I read books 1 & 2, Dead Until Dark & Living in Dead Dallas, & then gave up on the series 👎  The writing felt really underdeveloped & came across quite amateurish… plus, even in the first two books there are a lot of differences between the books & show, which I really struggled to get my head around. Unfortunately, this series will remain unfinished.

3. The Waterfire Saga by Jennifer Donnelly
I love this series so much, & the only reason I’m yet to read the last book is because a lot happened in the first three & I really think I need to find a recap or summary of the series before I start the final book! I don’t want any forgotten details to ruin the experience for me, so if anyone knows where I can find a summary of books 1, 2 & 3 then please let me know! (also, I’m a little confused about why book four’s cover looks different from the others 😟)

4. The Sin Eater’s Daughter trilogy by Melinda Salisbury
Okay, people are going to come after me with pitchforks for this but I have a good reason! As with The Waterfire Saga, when the final book in this series fell through my letterbox I felt like I couldn’t remember enough of the series to pick the finale up straight away… although I’m just looking for a recap of The Watersaga, I’d like to reread the first two books in this series & then read the third one straight after. I will get around to doing this soon!
– Side Note: I’ve only read one of the novellas so I need to rectify this too!

5. The Red Queen series by Victoria Aveyard
This is another one that some people will hate me for, but in this case I have no excuses for you, just honesty! This series is okay, but I really don’t understand the hype around it & to be honest, the hype is putting me off of continuing with it. I own Cruel Crown (two novellas), Red Queen, Glass Sword & King’s Cage & I’ve read all of these apart from King’s Cage… I may or may not finish this series one day.

6. The Shogun Quartet by Lesley Downer
This is another historical fiction series that I absolutely adore, but haven’t finished yet because of time, or a lack of it. I read the first book, The Shogun’s Queen, last year & was so happy to finally get my hands on it! I think this will be another series that I read only on Mondays because of the length of the books, but I will 100% finish this eventually.

7. S.C.R.E.A.M by Andrew Beasley
I love this series & was sent the second book by the publisher after it’s release due to my interest in the disabled character within the stories; the representation is brilliant & I can’t wait to pick up the second book! The only reason I didn’t pick it up straight after reading the first book is because I wanted to leave some time between reviews for each book. I’m not sure yet if there will be a third book, but I hope there will be because this is such an important series due to the representation it includes.

So, I have 7 unfinished series; 5 which I’m definitely going to finish, one I definitely won’t be finishing & one that I haven’t made my mind up about yet! Have you read any of the books shown in this post? Let me know what you think of them!
