Okay, it may seem like I’ve just posted a Top Ten Tuesday – but it was late.  I’ve had a rather unorganised period, ahem, so now trying to be, or appear to be, organised.  In which case I will keep this short and sweet!

Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by The Broke and the Bookish – they have some pretty interesting topics so you might want to stop on by and check them out.  Plus I always give a high five to Mega Mad 4 Books whose lovely blog enticed me over there in the first place.

This week – Top 10 Best and Worst Series Enders

Best first :

1. Lord of the Rings, JRTolkien – no comments necessary methinks.
2. The Broken Empire Trilogy by Mark Lawrence (Prince, King and Emperor of Thorns) (Thanks to the Little Red Reviewer for putting me onto this!)
3. The Forest of Hands and Teeth series by Carrie Ryan (including the Dark and Hollow Places and the Dead Tossed Waves) – I loved this, zombie apocalypse and the ending was spot on.
4. The Foundation Trilogy by Isaac Asimov – such a clever series and so intriguing. (respect to Carl at Stainless Steel Droppings for hosting a readalong for this which made it really interesting and without which I probably wouldn’t have picked it up!)
5. The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo – I loved this whole series and thought the ending was amazing plus Lisbeth is such a great character.

Worst :

1. The Hunger Games series, by Suzanne Collins – loved the first book, liked the second, disappointed with the third.
2. Breaking Dawn by Stephenie Meyers – yes, I read these!  Breaking Dawn was a bit surreal for me personally.
3. Charlaine Harris’s Sookie Stackhouse – this is a great series and I’ve really enjoyed it – but I thought the ending was slightly meh!
4. River Marked by Patricia Briggs. Okay, a bit of a cheat because this isn’t the end of a series but it is the last book I read in the series and it went off track I thought.  Might try the next one just to see if it was a fluke.
5. Infernal Devices by Cassandra Clare – again, I liked the first but thought the second was totally flat and I probably won’t finish this series.

Two things did this post reveal:  (1) I found it easier to come up with series endings that I enjoyed than disliked and (2) I’m astounded at how many series I’ve actually started and not finished yet – I think I have some sort of hang up about finishing a series!  I NEED HELP!!
