It would be easier for me to list the series I have finished!
Here's a crazy thing about me:
I only read the first book in a series!
Until I finally caved in a few years ago,
I'd never read past the first book in the Harry Potter series!
I'm not a series reader.
Here, then, are some of the many series I haven't finished.
(And, remember, don't be a hater. It's not nice.)
You'll be off to de-friend me now, I imagine,
but I barely made it through the first book.
There is some controversy as to whether this book is book one.
That aside, I've always intended on reading the other books,
but I've never gotten around to it.
I question whether this is a real series anyway,
as the other Gone With the Wind books are by different authors.
I remain firm on this one: I'll never read a GWTW sequel.
I tried. I really did.
I was off to the public library the next day
after I finished Wrinkle when I was ten.
The magic was not there for me, though,
and I returned it, sadly, unread.
Still undecided on continuing this series.
Loved book one,
but it was a tremendous investment of time.
I finally read book one a few years ago,
and that's it for me.
Nothing compels me to read any further.
I immediately put this on my list of of Best Reads Ever,
when I finally got around to reading it some years ago,
but I didn't read on.
I always have a fear that sequels won't live up to the original.
That often happens.
Another It-Can't-Get-Better-Than-This read.
I read this just so I could recommend it to children at my school library.
I've read a couple more in Spanish,
to challenge myself, but that's it.
I've heard the sequels were a little disappointing.
Who wants to read for ten hours if the book
is disappointing?!
I could go on and on.
How about you?
Am I the only one out there who doesn't read to the end of series?
Top Ten Tuesday is an original feature/weekly meme created at The Broke and 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!
Each week we will post a new Top Ten list that one of our bloggers here at The Broke and the Bookish will answer. Everyone is welcome to join. All we ask is that you link back to The Broke and the Bookish on your own Top Ten Tuesday post AND add your name to the Linky widget so that everyone can check out other bloggers lists!
