Top Ten Tuesday - Top Series I'd Like To Start But Haven't Yet

This week's (and every week's) Top Ten Tuesday meme is brought to you by the letter Broke and and number Bookish.

This week is the top ten series I'd like to start but haven't yet. This was quite hard as I've got a lot of books I'd like to read, but many of them are stand-alones, or part of series I've already started. But anyway. Here's my list:
  • The Killables by Gemma Malley. This has been recommended to me on this blog actually, and I really like the look of it.
  • Harry Potter en français. Yeah, I know, I'm a huge nerd and technically a reread.
  • The Sookie Stackhouse series by Charlaine Harris. I got the boxset for Christmas '11, and still haven't got around to reading them. I do love me some vampire fiction.
  • The Mortal Instruments by Cassandra Clare. I think I want to read these out of some sort of morbid curiosity. If you are at all in the know about the world of Harry Potter fanfiction, you may know that there is some controversy surrounding Clare and her writing. So yeah, morbid curiosity.
  • Beautiful Creatures by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl. Again, another supernatural series, but I don't think vampires are directly involved... I want to read it before I eventually see the film.
  • Delirium by Lauren Oliver. YA dystopia, so obviously on my to-read list.
  • Shiver by Maggie Stiefvater. Supernatural YA with wolves. That could be the synopsis and I'd be interested.
  • Unearthly by Cynthia Hand. Angels this time. I feel like a broken record...
  • The Wheel of Time by Robert Jordan and Brandon Sanderson. I'm sure my old housemate will be pleased to hear I'm interested in reading this series. Can't go wrong with a good fantasy series. Even if there are loads of books in the series, and they are all like doorstops...
  • Lord of the Rings by JRR Tolkein. So I tried reading it back when I was about 10, after reading the Hobbit, but got about half way and had no idea what was going on, so I gave up. I think I could get through it now and hopefully enjoy it as much as I enjoyed the films.

      I love supernatural stuff, especially if they go for something a bit different, like angels in Unearthly. Thanks for the comment!

    Delirium is amazing. I still need to read the last book, but the first two are excellent. Great list!

    I loved the Sookie Stackhouse series! Very different from the HBO series, though. I highly recommend you start the Delirium series. In fact, I think I've already said that to several other people! You must read it.

      Yeah, I've heard that the Sookie Stackhouse series are rather different, but I've only seen the first 1 1/2 series of True Blood so hopefully that won't impact my enjoyment. Thanks for dropping by!

    Out of all of those, I really recommend The Wolves of Mercy Falls (Shiver).

    Yay Wheel of Time. I also laughed when I read your reasoning. Doorstops. Yes. Did I mention the last book has a 190 page chapter in the hardback?
