Top Ten Tuesday - Serious Series I need to read Seriously

-

It's Tuesday and time to get serious about reading series' with Top Ten Tuesday. Seriously, you need to start reading that series you've been putting off ever since Eskom first introduced load shedding. 

Personally, I don't read that many series. The problem with a series is you need to read them ALL, for if you take one out, none of the other bulbs will light up and you will be sitting in the dark.

But I still have the following series' on my TBR list and I haven't started with any of these. Not one book or even book one from anyone. 


462033 6218281 83927

Maisie Dobbs
Flavia de Luce
Phryne Fisher

11 43615 187811

Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
The Dark Tower
The Mediator

17675462 10822858 231604

The Raven Cycle
Department Q
Temperance Brennan

I am planning to start an Afrikaans series in July that might just give me the jeebie creeps, but I am sooooo looking forward to it! Promise to sleep with the lights on. Unfortunately, no English translation yet. Promise to tell you everything.

But when do I plan to start the rest of the series'? Your guess is as good as mine. It will have to be light bulb moment.

    I've thought about the Maisie Dobbs too, especially when I'm in my historical fiction/ mystery phase last year or so. And I never made it through Hitchiiker's Guide- can you believe it??

    LOL about bulbs.

      Hello! Sorry for the late reply! I don't know when I will get to the Maisie Dobbs series.... Sometimes I think I should just ignore all social media for the next ten years and just try to get through all the I WANT TO READ THAT books.

    I read a couple of the Maisie Dobbs but read them out of order...I want to go back and start them from the beginning. I've listened to a couple of Kathy Reichs on audio...I would get so caught up in them that I would realize a member of my family was standing in front of me calling my name and I never heard them :p I forgot all about Flavia de Luce...and I also have Cocaine Blues somewhere...gracious, more books to read! :)

      I know!! It really is shocking how quickly your TBR list can just double up. I'm sure that Readers are going to find the cure for prolonged life. Like 203 or something like that. Just so that we can get through all the books.... OR we really need to pray that Heaven truly are some kind of Library.

    I want to read Raven Boys too, they came highly recommended by other bloggers. I loved Maggie Stiefvater's Books of Faerie series. I actually started Hitchhikers Guide on audio last week but it just didn't work for me.

      I haven't read any Maggie Stiefvater, but I actually recommend her to people and especially High School students. LOL! Need to read one or two, just to make sure the hype is worth it.

    I really love the Raven Cycle series. It's one of the best character-driven series I've ever read. I hope you get a chance to pick it up as well as all the others on your list!

    The Gunslinger (Dark Tower series) is on my TTT this week as well. I have started the Hitchhikers' series but only the first book so far. I hope to continue here in July. I hope you get the chance to start a couple of these soon and that you love them!

Audio book: May 20 - May 26, 2016 Librivox recording - recorded by John Nicholson (I still vote for Sean Connery to do this reading) You know what I love about book reviewing and blogging the most? It gives you the freedom to google your favourite books and characters for hours and hours and if someone asks what you are doing you can quite honestly say: RESEARCH. (You might even glare at them over the rim of your glasses. For effect you know. Also make sure to have a pencil at hand. Again - for effect) Afterwards, you might sound extremely clever and give lots and lots of useless information to anyone who would be interested in listening. (I strongly suggest that you keep your glasses down on your nose and have that pencil either in your hand or stuck in your hair).

Paperback read between 4 and 10 May 2016 I have a confession - I don't read enough South African fiction.  After reading this novel, I realized that I can't call myself "proudly South African" AT ALL. I love my country, but I am not always proud of my country. But I will never be a Peter and say "I do not know you". I would rather be like a real prim and proper Afrikaans "poppie" and just keep quite and sit in the corner. And then someone like Tannie Maria comes along and she reminds you of a couple of things:  I love being Afrikaans I love the Klein Karoo I love koeksisters, bobotie, melktert, vetkoek and karringmelk beskuit I love vetplantjies I love the smell of the first rain on the warm dry earth I love SPAR (although I might check out the managers with an eagle eye hence forth) I love being white, but have a black friend that I can honestly call one of my 5 best friends ever.  I love reading a South African murder m...
