I really need another new series… right?

Tags: Books series I must have, The Broke and the Bookish, Top Ten Tuesday
Well, lets face it, good sense never got in the way of me buying new books. So, even though I have Mount TBR and it’s threatening to topple any day and probably smother the dog, not to mention the butterfly effect if this little monster finally goes, this doesn’t stop me envying other people’s book purchases and coveting new shiny ones myself. And, yes – sometimes my ‘ordering finger’ gets a little trigger happy – not to mention that ‘one click’ which is just ridiculously tempting!
So, over at The Broke and the Bookish this week the topic for Top Ten Tuesday is:-
Top New Series I Want To Start (this includes those started fairly recently)
- Ancillary Justice by Ann Leckie – had this book for a while – I’m saving it for all the lovely sci-fi goodness that’s just kicking off round the blogging community about now.
- Generation V by M L Brennan – tis the season for fangs after all!
- Prince of Fools by Mark Lawrence – I’ve started this series this year. And, its awesome sauce already. I kid you not.
- Sidekick by Auralee Wallace. This was good fun, I enjoyed it and I’m looking forward to seeing what comes next.
- Bloodsong by Anthony Ryan – I’ve read the first and have the second waiting to be read. Bloodsong is so good.
- Age of Iron by Angus Watson – I loved this book and can’t wait for the next instalment – which I believe won’t be too long (next Spring?)
- Red Rising by Pierce Brown – I really enjoyed this first in series. It has a lot of promise and I’m excited for No.2
- City of Stairs by R J Bennett – Mr Bennett is such a talented author. I’ve loved all his books and this one was seriously serious! Epicly epic!
- The Copper Promise by Jen Williams – OMG – The Copper Cat. This is all. Read this book.
- The Broken Road by Teresa Frohock – deliciously creepy, only a novella – I want more from Ms Frohock please.










Look at all the pretty covers precious!

I will even tell you what order to drop everythng and read them in. City of Stairs, Ancillary Justice, Generation V, Prince of Fools, whatever (Have not read Frohock’s so it may deserve to be high on the list).
I may be the only one with a blog who didn’t fall in love with Red Rising.
I’ve read City of Stairs which I thought was excellent! I’ve put some on here that I’ve just recently read because they still count as new series. Really looking forward to Ancillary Justice and Generation V. Loved Prince of Fools!
Red Rising – I was surprised to like it as much as I did. I went into it feeling a bit meh so maybe that’s why it won me over. High expectations are such a major pitfall for me!

Interesting choices but I haven’t read any of them! I really need to start reading Wolf Hall trilogy by Hilary Mantel and The All Souls trilogy by Deborah Harkness as I have the first books to start me off.
Oooh, Hilary Mantel – I literally cannot believe that I haven’t read any of hers yet! I even have a ghost story that she wrote – set in the sixteenth century that sounds excellent and is perfect for RIP – and still not read it!!!
The Deborah Harkness books I’ve kind of gone off. I liked the first, loved the library references and everything. The second I wasn’t as keen on which was a surprise because it went back in time to the Tudor period so I expected to love it. You might adore it though – I do seem to be in a minority with that series!

I need to get on the Prince of Fools bandwagon I think.
You do, you do!!
Lynn 😀
I haven’t read any of your choices, but I almost put Prince of Fools on my list as well. Great list! I’ll have to look into some of these.
Prince of Fools is very good. I highly recommend it!
Lynn 😀
Generation V!!! I’m going to keep bugging you until you do 😉
And yeah, just like you I loved Age of Iron. I’m so glad that the release schedule for the books is so relatively short! Six months until the next one and then the third in fall 2015 I think. It’s so nice not having to wait a whole year between books in a series you’re looking forward to 😀
I’m definitely reading it!!Before Halloween.
Can’t wait for next in series from Age of Iron – so excited for that book.

My TBR pile hangs out on a shelf in an attempt at self-limiting. It’s currently two and a half stacks, which says how well that’s going…
The only one of these I’ve read is Ancillary Justice. It’s a really interesting, and slightly creepy concept, and I’m looking forward to book 2!
It seems that we’re all as bad as each other.
Looking forward to reading Ancillary Justice – it’s had very good reviews.
Lynn 😀
I have read Bloodsong, and Prince of Fools are on my wish list. I have to look into some of the others, they look interesting at first glance.
I do love the Mark Lawrence books. I love the story but I’m always struck when reading them at just how very well thought through they are.
Lynn 😀
Generation V series is a must.
I know – it was ace! I’ve got No.2 and preordered 3 already. Happy dance 😀
