Top Ten Tuesday- Series I Haven't Finished

Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by: The Broke and the Bookish.
This week's topic is Top Ten Series I Haven't Finished.
 
I'm back from holiday and already posted a cover reveal for Just For Now!
This theme is brilliant as I'm currently failing my Finishing the Series Reading Challenge 2012 so this will remind me what series I need to bump up my TBR list.
 
The ones I just need to pick up!
Books of Bayern
I loved Goose Girl and Enna Burning so I pounced on River Secrets! I just haven't got around to reading Forest Born even though it sat on my Uni book shelf for ages!
Tales of the Otori
I love the original trilogy (the middle three) but the other two I  keep bumping down the TBR list for no real reason.
 
Looking Glass Wars
I read the Looking Glass Wars in hardback ages ago but by the time Seeing Redd came out I just didn't pick it up. I reread Looking Glass Wars on holiday and promptly borrowed the next two from my friend!
 
The ones that I started at the wrong time!
 

Inheritance Cycle
I read and loved Eragon but with Univerity and work I just didn't have the time to devote to reading such a long series! I now feel like I need to reread Eragon before finishing the series but I do have the first three ready so no excuses!
 
The Books of Pellinor
 Loved The Gift but I just didn't have time for the whole series- will be picking it up soon!
 
Inkheart Trilogy
Same story different trilogy! Loved the first book but no time for series! Once again it's a case of needing to reread Inkheart and get back in to the series.
 
 
 The ones I feel are finished
The Shopaholic Series
I have loved the Shopaholic series and Sophie Kinsella so much for so long. I haven't read Mini Shopaholic because I kinda feel I'm done with Becky- Shopaholic and Baby was a happy realistic end!
 
Sisterhood of The Travelling Pants
I loved these when they first came out! I only recently realised there was a fifth one. I've heard it's bittersweet so I'm debating whether or not I should read it or leave it- I felt Forever in Blue ended almost perfectly!

Not quite ten but I limited it to series I genuinely want to finish or loved!
I think my issue with not finishing series is I either  lose momentum  when I have to wait for instalments or I just don't have the time to read them back to back.
 
Hopefully I will be able to finish at least two of those for my Challenge!
Let me know if you have any series you need to finish or if you have any opinions on the ones I need to finish!
 
Much Love!

  1. I loved The Goose Girl too! I'd definitely like to continue the series at some point.

    1. Goose Girl was amazing as was Enna Burning but the River Secrets petered out....
      Thanks for stopping by!

  2. I haven't read any of your series! except I did read Eragon and a bit of whichever was second but they didn't really thrill me. I'd love to read the Goose Girl, Looking Glass and Inkspell series though and I've never heard of the Tales of Otori but I love Oriental-themed books and those covers are to-die for. I must go check them out.

    Here's my list

    1. Tales of Otori is a great series- the author really did her research on Japan!
      Thanks for stopping by!

  3. I also loved the Goose Girl, but I couldn't get into the other books.

    I hate the wait between books in a series because sometimes I forget the story's thread and then can't get back into it.

  4. I love Sophie Kinsella's other books but I can't seem to finish the Shopaholic series! LOL
