Top Ten Tuesday #18! Top 10 Finished Series I Have Yet To Finish!

Top Ten Tuesday is an original feature/weekly meme created here at The Broke & The Bookish. This feature was created because we are particularly fond of lists here at The Broke and the Bookish. We'd love to share our lists with other bookish folks and would LOVE to see your top ten lists!

Here Are My Top 10 Need To Finish Series:

1. The Mercy Thompson series by Patricia Briggs. (I know that it isn't complete, but I've only read 3 of the 8 books that are out, so I'm counting this!) -I loved the first 3 books in this series, don't exactly know why I've pushed off catching up in this series.

2. The Need series by Carrie Jones. I've read the first 2 books in this series, but by the time I got the last 2 I forgot what happened in the first 2.

3. The Legend trilogy by Marie Lu. This trilogy is probably the worst dystopian series I've tried to read. I actually read and finished Prodigy last month so hopefully I'll be able to finish this trilogy soon.

4. The Angelfire trilogy by Courtney Allison Moulton. I loved the first book when I read it, I just need to re-read it in order to read the last 2 books.

5. The Pledge trilogy by Kimberly Derting. I will finish this trilogy eventually, I promise!

6. The Newsoul trilogy by Jodi Meadows. I really want to finish this trilogy, now that I own the whole series, I can finish this trilogy.

7. The Everneath trilogy by Brodi Ashton. The first book wasn't bad, it just wasn't that good that I feel excited to finish this trilogy.

8. The Shatter Me trilogy by Tahereh Mafi. I stopped reading this trilogy half-way through the 2nd book. It just got really boring to me. I hope to finish this trilogy soon though.

9. The Reboot duology by Amy Tintera. I honestly don't know why I haven't finished this duology yet, I really liked the first book.

10. The Between duology by April Genevieve Tucholke. The first book was pretty good, but not great enough to make me excited for the sequel, but I will finish this duology some day.

2.)
To Kill A Mockingbird
Harper Lee
Young Adult Classic
December 1982
GOODREADS LINK

Synopsis:

The unforgettable novel of a childhood in a sleepy Southern town and the crisis of conscience that rocked it, To Kill A Mockingbird became both an instant bestseller and a critical success when it was first published in 1960. It went on to win the Pulitzer Prize in 1961 and was later made into an Academy Award-winning film, also a classic.

Compassionate, dramatic, and deeply moving, To Kill A Mockingbird takes readers to the roots of human behavior—to innocence and experience, kindness and cruelty, love and hatred, humor and pathos. Now with over 18 million copies in print and translated into forty languages, this regional story by a young Alabama woman claims universal appeal. Harper Lee always considered her book to be a simple love story. Today it is regarded as a masterpiece of American literature.

In the Labyrinth, we had a saying: keep silent, keep still, keep safe.

In a city of walls and secrets, where only one man is supposed to possess magic, seventeen-year-old Kai struggles to keep hidden her own secret—she can manipulate the threads of time. When Kai was eight, she was found by Reev on the riverbank, and her “brother” has taken care of her ever since. Kai doesn’t know where her ability comes from—or where she came from. All that matters is that she and Reev stay together, and maybe one day move out of the freight container they call home, away from the metal walls of the Labyrinth. Kai’s only friend is Avan, the shopkeeper’s son with the scandalous reputation that both frightens and intrigues her.

Then Reev disappears. When keeping silent and safe means losing him forever, Kai vows to do whatever it takes to find him. She will leave the only home she’s ever known and risk getting caught up in a revolution centuries in the making. But to save Reev, Kai must unravel the threads of her past and face shocking truths about her brother, her friendship with Avan, and her unique power.

It is in this brutal world, inspired by ancient Rome, that Laia lives with her grandparents and older brother. The family ekes out an existence in the Empire’s impoverished backstreets. They do not challenge the Empire. They’ve seen what happens to those who do.

But when Laia’s brother is arrested for treason, Laia is forced to make a decision. In exchange for help from rebels who promise to rescue her brother, she will risk her life to spy for them from within the Empire’s greatest military academy.

There, Laia meets Elias, the school’s finest soldier—and secretly, its most unwilling. Elias wants only to be free of the tyranny he’s being trained to enforce. He and Laia will soon realize that their destinies are intertwined—and that their choices will change the fate of the Empire itself.
