All About YA discussion

I wasn't sure about whether I wanted to do this but everyone's trackers are looking so cool I thought I'd give it a go! ;)

I probably will do series I've finished but not ones I haven't started yet.

The Legendeer Trilogy by Alan Gibbons:

Read:

Savvy by Ingrid Law:

Read:

(The series that got me into reading and still a firm favourite!)

The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel by Michael Scott:

Read:

Haven't read:

(Wasn't sure about the first book in this series but I got the audiobook of the second book for the #BookBuddyathon and ended up really liking it. Now I've looked on audible and it turns out the other books are narrated by someone else, whose voice I don't care for, so I guess I'll be reading them in physical form. Hopefully it will be soon while I'm still excited about them, but who knows)

Percy Jackson and the Olympians by Rick Riordan:

Read:

Heroes of Olympus by Rick Riordan:

Read:

Haven't read:

(The Lost Hero was good but I pretty much hated the next two so I'll probably never carry on with this series)

Harry Potter by J.K. Rowling:

Read:

Daisy and the Trouble With Life by Kes Gray:

Read:


Haven't read:

(I may have read more of these but I recently re-read them and stopped at the fourth. I didn't like them nearly as much as I remember so the rest no longer interest me)

My Sister the Vampire by Sienna Mercer:

Read:

(Hopefully they'll be more in this series soon!)

My Brother the Werewolf by Sienna Mercer:

Read:

A Sheep Called Skye by S. R. Harris:

Read:

Diary of a Wimpy Kid by Jeff Kinney:

Read:

Haven't read:

(In the middle of re-reading these at the moment whenever I fell like a quick, fun read. I don't care what you say - I LOVE these books!)

Mr. Gum by Andy Stanton:

Read:

(Thought I hadn't read all of these but apparently I have!)

Bindi Babes by Narinder Dhami:

Read:

Jane Blonde by Jill Marshall:

Read:

Haven't read:

(I'm not sure if this is the right order... Read these a while ago and gave up because I thought it was getting repetitive but would like to give them another go sometime)

Goddess Girls by Joan Holub and Suzanne Williams:

Read:

Haven't read:

(I don't really see myself going any further with this series. I'm kind of interested in Echo the Copycat but not enough to prioritize it over the millions of other books I want to read. This is a middle grade series I loooved a couple of years ago, though. Fond memories!)

Artemis Fowl by Eoin Colfer:

Read:

Children of the Lamp by P. B. Kerr:

Read:

Gallagher Girls by Ally Carter:

Read:

Haven't read:

(It's been so long since I read the first one, and I hated it anyway, so I'm not even going to bother continuing with this series)

Sky Chasers by Amy Kathleen Ryan:

Read:

(Pretty solid YA trilogy. Would like to re-read these one day)

Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas:

Read:

Haven't read:

(I've decided I won't be continuing with this series. I've read the first two books so I feel like I've given it a fair chance. I've heard mixed things about the fourth, I don't care for the characters and I don't care where the plot goes any more. Even if I did, the end of the second book really confused me, so I probably wouldn't be able to follow it anyway. Sarah J Maas isn't an author I want to support and this series gets enough hype as it is. Excuse the rant!)

Hogwarts Library by J. K. Rowling:

Read:

War Horse by Michael Morpurgo:

Read:

Haven't Read:

(I didn't really enjoy War Horse and the second one looks like the most pointless book ever so I won't be finishing this I don't think)

Zodiac by Romina Russell:

Read:

(Rated every book in this series four stars. A very good YA series!)

The Selection by Kiera Cass:

Read:

Anna and the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins:

Read:

(Kept going back and forth on these but I'm actually really proud of myself for sticking with it! Pretty good books - not really my thing, but good)

Daisy wrote: "Anna and the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins:

Read:

Haven't read: [bookcover:Isla and the Happily Eve..."

I love those!

Yeah, the first one was really good! Can't wait to get to the next one. :)

Sherlock Holmes by Arthur Conan Doyle:

Read:

Haven't read:

(Honestly I think I've had enough of these for now. I'm glad I've experienced the Sherlock Holmes stories because they're such a huge part of pop culture {and I can definitely see why} but I'm not excited about reading any more of them right now. Have actually just into Christie and I think I prefer those!)

The Plays of William Shakespeare:

Read twice:

Read:

Haven't Read:

(I know this isn't exactly a series but I'm always losing track of which of Shakespeare's plays I've read so I thought this would be useful. I'm not planning to read all of them, by any means, but there's still a couple I want to read sometime in the future (now hoping to read all the comedies as I like those best) so this is definitely going to help me keep track!)

Little Women by Louisa May Alcott:

Read:

Haven't Read:

(Meh. Probably won't bother with the next two in this series)

William Shakespeare's Star Wars by Ian Doescher:

Read:

(LOOOOVE!!)

The Princess Diaries by Meg Cabot:

Read:

Haven't read:

(I dnf-ed Royal Wedding which means I'm FINALLY. DONE. Yay!)

Gemma Doyle by Libba Bray:

Read:

Haven't read:

(DNFed the third book at 50 pages because it was boring me, so I don't intend to finish this series)

Grey Griffins by Derek Benz and J.S. Lewis:

Read:

Haven't read:

(Really enjoyed the first book, but I can't find the next two anywhere! Hope to read them someday though I'm not sure how I will be able to.)

Young Sherlock Holmes by Andrew Lane:

Read:

Haven't read:

(DNFed Snake Bite because everything I didn't like about the series just kept getting worse and bugging me more and more)

Firebird by Claudia Gray:

Read:

(Definitely some of my fave YA books - this trilogy was beyond awesome! Highly recommend if you're interested)

Twilight by Stephenie Meyer:

Read:

Kat, Incorrigible by Stephanie Burgis:

Read:

(Man, these books are so good! Really high quality series)

The Lunar Chronicles by Marissa Meyer:

Read:

(Read all this series in 2015. Go me!)

Jurassic Park by Michael Crichton:

Read:

(Thoroughly enjoyed this duology! Second book was even better than the first. <3)

Mistborn by Brandon Sanderson:

Read:

Haven't read:

(Hell yeah am I reading the second trilogy! No idea when but it'll happen!)

Because You'll Never Meet Me by Leah Thomas:

Read:

Haven't read:

(I don't think I'm going to read the second book. Though I love these characters the first book let me down in a lot of ways and I don't feel like I need any more. Plus I got the first on Audible and the second's not on there, so I don't feel like going to the effort of finding it somewhere else)

Ashley Arthur by Jack Heath:

Read:

Haven't read:

(So... this is new. I've read the second book in this duology but not the first... my bad for not looking it up on Goodreads, lol. Really loved it anyway so would love to get my hands on the first at some point and actually read them in the right order :D )

The Destiny Trilogy by Cris Pasqueralle:

Read:

Haven't read:

(Liked the first book but didn't really think it was anything special so doubt I'll continue with this trilogy)

Rememberance of Earth's Past by Liu Cixin:

Read:

Haven't read:

(I listened to the first two books on audio and would love to do that with the third. Will keep an eye out to see if it ever comes onto Audible. If not, the ending of the second book was pretty satisfying so might just stop there, or I might try reading the third in physical form. We'll see!)

Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams:

Read:

Haven't Read:

(Liked the first book but not enough to make me very motivated to pick up the rest of them. Maybe someday I'll give the second one a try, we'll see)

Murder Most Unladylike Mysteries by Robin Stevens:

Read:

Haven't Read:


(Enjoyed the first book, and I own the next two. Looking forward to getting to them soon. WOW these book covers are beautiful!)

The Works of Agatha Christie:

Read:

Haven't Read:

(As with Shakespeare, I'd like to read a lot of works by this author, and thought it would be a good idea to track it here. LOVED Murder on the Orient Express so I am really excited to explore Christie further)
