1. | The Scorpio Races / Maggie Stiefvater - I'll probably never read the rest of the SHIVER books because I didn't really like SHIVER, but I've heard only good things about this standalone. That, like, everyone but me has read. It's just one of those backlist books that somehow I've never gotten around to.

2. | The Cuckoo's Calling / Robert Galbraith -
Ditto for the rest of this series and CASUAL VACANCY. It's hard to separate J.K. from HARRY POTTER, and maybe I'm a little scared I won't like it?

3. | The Circle Opens / Tamora Pierce -
Everyone has their hang-ups. Mine is that I was so freaking obsessed with Tortall as a kid, I developed a sort of quiet resentment against Tamora's other series, because it wasn't Tortall and it was taking up Tortall's place. Maybe I'll go back and read them. Maybe I won't, now that we're getting Numair's story and I can gorge myself on Tortall-y goodness again.

4. | Archer's Goon / Diana Wynne Jones -
I only chose this as an example, because there are SO many books by Diana that I haven't read. She was so prolific that, even though I've probably read near a dozen of her books, there are easily a dozen more I never got to. Someday when I'm not in ARC hell, maybe I'll go back and run through her other stuff.

5. | Leviathan / Scott Westerfeld - Even though this came out when I was still a teen and not totally bogged down in blog book, I never actually got around to reading Scott's other series. I've heard such good things, but it's always played second fiddle to the insurmountable height that is my TBR. Another series I hope to return to, one day.

I love Tamora Pierce on both lists!
ReplyDeleteI finally started reading the Circle books and I love them. I love Tortall, but I am tired of seeing or having Alanna alluded to in every Tortall book. And Tempests and Slaughter left a bad taste in my mouth, though I'd love to see you guys review it.
