SERIES I WANT TO CATCH UP ON

[@car5522]

For the Kingkiller Chronicles, I am planning to start it when we know about the 3rd book. 😆

[@MissyMaysReadingNook]

I've heard there's some rumors that the third book is going to be released August of 2020

[@JayGTheAwkwardBookworm]

Lawl, mine is definitely Throne of Glass. I’m half way through the first 😬

[@safiaahmed]

It ain't worth it sis

[@aiela]

The first Saga Compendium is coming out this fall so if you purchase it you’ll be able to catch up on the entire first half of the story. It’s also cheaper than buying individual issues.

[@ThoughtsOnTomes]

I already own the first 5 volumes though...

[@christinahelms1514]

I need to finish the Daughter of Smoke and Bone series and the Shadow and Bone Series

[@KMaeRader]

Started this video off with a bang for sure! Godsgrave had one of the WORST/BEST cliffhangers I’ve experienced and I am still trying to come to terms a month after I finished it 😂

[@piscespaperbacks]

The Furyborn series looks so interesting! I'm kind of just getting back into reading big major books so adult fantasy series intimidate me a little bit lol. Hopefully I can get over that soon and start reading some of those books

[@PagesandPens]

I have got to continue with Sanderson-just, time. But I am craving his writing.

[@HannahCassieBooks]

I agree you def need to reread Shatter Me series for Restore Me, tbh I did it last year and then I was really regretting I didnt reread Restore me for Defy Me cuz there is a huge info dumb and bit difficult to process sometimes

[@TheInfamousDollface]

I recently finished the Immortals quartet by Tamora Pierce, but i'm gonna try and get my hands on all the other books in the universe. Issa lot.

[@thegreylionessreads2230]

She’s my favorite author. The Tortall books are my favorite.

[@CharlesHeathcote]

This reminded me that I still haven't read Nevernight, and I've had that book a while. I've only got Sebastien de Castell's Spellslinger series to catch up on, but those books come out that quickly I feel I'm always chasing my tail. Good luck with all your series - I look forward to hearing your thoughts when eventually you're caught up :)

[@charliereadsalot]

I totally need to catch up on Nevernight and The Expanse as well! I've found so many new intriguing series though so the struggle to choose between catching up and starting new series is so real....

[@Nataliecj]

Restore Me was fine but Defy Me was a bit of a mess, I kind of wish she'd left it at the original trilogy. There's a lot of retconning and "no this is how it was all along!" which just doesn't really make sense. I'll be interested to hear your thoughts on it! I want to continue the Stormlight Archives, I've read The Way of Kings but need to continue on with Words of Radiance. Oooh Descender! I've only read the first one, need to continue it! I really want to start The Expanse series as well.

[@theinkedpath9631]

Nice picks SamI In my case I have too many series to finish (The curse trilogy the mortal instruments series, the King killer chronicles are some examples of the International ones. About my national ones, the Spanish ones it is a bit more complicated, hehehe)

[@ElisaGIH]

I would really like to finish the original Mistborn trilogy this year. I’ve only read The Final Empire and barely started The Well of Ascension 😬 I would also like to finish the Falling Kingdoms series this year!

[@Katelynwouldratherbereading]

I also need to reread The Tiger's Daughter before finally getting to The Phoenix Empress

[@amitymiller9340]

YESSS you know I am so here for a fresh vid

[@nocturnus009]

I just learned that Christopher Moore has some ideas for future stories for Pocket the Fool in King Lear's Court. So I REALLY want to go back to Fool & Serpent of Venice. I eventually need to finish the foundation series. Before that Skydance Media adaptation for AppleTV+ drops. Just reading the 1st book ignited a few ideas about how we can algorithmically see our Ragnarok, but also how planning to mitigate the fallout can be the hardest battle.

[@alexmoore2538]

I love every video you make. This is my first time commenting but Fantasy(especially adult fantasy) and Sci-fi are my two favorite genres and I feel that sometimes booktube doesn't always spread the spotlight on those types of books. That's why I love your channel so much and I can squeal when I see you talk about books that I've read!

[@jamiek9372]

Yess to the Expanse!!! I still haven't read the latest book (no.8) but ahh I just love the world

[@Ashely56]

I need to catch up on the witchlands series I've read all of the ones out except for sightwitch

[@ke_nickie]

oh I hope Thorn of Emberlain comes out this year!! I've been waiting YEARS, pls Scott Lynch 😩

[@lissmarshall]

I really need to read The Republic of Thieves as well! But another series that I want to catch up on is the Wayward Children series.. just recently listened to the audiobook for Down Among the Sticks and Bones.

[@sephestra.]

Ok, I had to smile at The Name of the Wind part very broadly. I started reading it about a year ago and realized very quickly that there was about a 0% chance it would NOT end up on my favorite-of-all-time list of books/series....so I stopped reading it because he has not finished the third book and hasn't given any real clue as to it's release.

[@taylorrobinson1146]

I highly recommend you get your hands on The Wicked King, I really loved the first one but the second book was absolutely incredible. The hate-to-love, angst, political intrigue, and magic were so amazing!!

[@DecimalD_]

I’m currently reading The Broken Earth Trilogy and The Witcher series simultaneously. I’m planning on starting Mistborn Era 2, Shatter Me, and His Dark Materials very soon! Im excited 😊

[@PaulineFireheart]

I hope you'll like Godsgrave, it's was amazing but like you said, OMG that cliffhanger. I can't wait for Darkdawn to come out! I also need to catch up with The Gentlemen Bastards series :)

[@_reveux]

godsgrave is SO GOOD i liked it much more than nevernight!! i feel like you see mia working her ass off for some shit and it pays off big time, both in a narrative and a personal enjoyment way

[@ThoughtsOnTomes]

good its what she deserves

[@rachiecakie]

I keep seeing The Wicked and the Divine EVERYWHERE. I never really got into the GN scene, but I've peeked into the first book in this series and it was gorgeous. I totally feel you about loving pantheons and gods and such. Is there a video coming about series featuring gods? No one talks about that!

[@xThisCityisatWarx]

I’m totally doing the same thing with The Wise Mans Fear, like its so big I need at least a hint as to when the last book is coming before starting it. I recently finished the first season of the expanse and now plan to read the books, it feels like it’s just a taster for what the books will be but it’s really well done

[@ThoughtsOnTomes]

Jessica Lower agreed!

[@TheBookSanctum]

I need to catch up on Nevernight too!

[@garywatters11]

Ahhh The Expanse series, I recently read book 5 in the series and it was my favourite in the series so far. Scott Lynch recently uploaded a picture on twitter of a completed manuscript of The Thorn of Emberlain, so its getting closer.

[@kiraironskin]

I also need to catch up with so many series ^^ - but I love the books you showed in this video, so my tbr just got bigger^^ I think you should prioritise Nevernight^^ I hope I can finish both books before book 3 comes out ^^

[@lindseyknits]

well I just learned about a lot of series I need to start.

[@ThoughtsOnTomes]

:)

[@Naturalmommy22]

I want to catch up on the Dresden Files series.

[@dorapoch]

I want to catch up on Sanderson, so it's a long journey but I'm looking forward to it. I plan on starting Nevernight and catch up before the third one comes out.

[@spraticus12]

Finished Kingsbane last night and I definitely had to refer back to Furyborn a few times to better understand some character progressions in the second book...But I also have the memory capacity of a goldfish. So that's neither here nor there. I loved the last half of the book, and despite everything I'm still kinda team Corien. Also, the amount of time I spend thinking about The Wicked King is now boarding an actual problem, and I need Queen of Nothing in my life ASAP. I think you're gonna dig it.

[@rhondac.5696]

I need to catch up on the Charlie Davidson series by Darynda Jones , The Elemental Assassin series by Jennifer Estes and the Paper Magician by Charlie N Holmberg.

[@idratherbereading5766]

It may have been set as a trilogy but in my opinion, the first two Shatter Me books suck and three(Ignite Me) through Restore Me and Defy Me are amazing! Can't wait to see your opinions about the sequels.

[@anybethmae]

Descender is also finished now! And there was exciting news announced for the world after it finished too!

[@ThoughtsOnTomes]

oh yay!

[@NovelteaCorner]

I actually don't think I have too many series I want to catch up on, although that could be because I just jump in and out of so many different things now. I guess the closest would be Tiamat's Wrath in The Expanse series, but I'm holding off reading that until we get the smaller paperback here in Australia (because I want it to match the rest of my collection). Speaking of, I hope you continue to enjoy The Expanse. It's one of my all-time favourite series now!

[@leslieisepic]

I just checked out the 6th book in the Keeper of the Lost Cities series (Nightfall) from the library earlier this week. I plan on powering my way through that this weekend and hopefully being able to finish by next week so that I can check the 7th book out (which will catch me up until the 8th comes out in the fall). I just started reading this series in late March (PeruseProject raves about it and I wanted to check it out since I enjoy middle grade fantasy). I absolutely love these books and even though they are quite thick and chunky, they are extremely fast reads. Once I am caught up on this series, I would like to continue reading The Great Library series by Rachel Caine (I read the first three books, but need to read the 4th book, and I believe the 5th book releases this year).

[@amitymiller9340]

I own Too Like The Lightening and Leviathan Wakes... I have no idea which one to read first, and your reviews and/or mentions of both of them make me want to devour both ASAP! Which one should I go for first??

[@bookally9033]

Yes love the Wicked and the divine!!! Also just recent become obsessed with nevernight

[@Tinahgirl83]

I desperately want to read The Name of the Wind, but I don’t want to get started and then have Rothfuss never write the third book. I need to finish the Ancestor series by Mark Lawrence, and the Moontide Quartet by David Hair. I want to give Brandon Sanderson another try. Question: Do you have any YA fantasy recs that aren’t swamped in love triangles?

[@aundiekutzkey3802]

I am currently reading the Tigers Daughter and oh my God it is sooooooooooooooooooooooo good! 😆 also just finished the Lies of Locke Lamora and so excited to read the rest!

[@tadpolemermaid9019]

I read the Trail of Lightning sequel in the last week and prefer it to the first book. It introduced a new character who is now my favorite and it had a girl group-esque thing going on which I think added a lot!

[@ThoughtsOnTomes]

OMG I CANNOT WAIT

[@TheNovelSanctuary]

I caught up on the lies of Locke lamora and ugh yesss so good and in book three we FINALLY meet Sabbatha

[@alicewho4257]

I am so freaking excited! I just noticed you have Neil Gaiman American Gods!!!!!!!! That book is amazing! What did you think? Did you watch the show? Have you read another Neil Gaiman books?

[@diannepolmanter7217]

I would recommend waiting on the Wicked King. The book is so good and ending was such a cliffhanger! the third book The Queen of Nothing is out in November. I literally yelled at the ending of the Wicked King. I was so upset! Lol.

[@meggaroo2]

I am behind on everything lol the only series that I am staying ob top of right now is the arcana chronicles by kresley cole otger wise I am either one or two books into a bunch of different series.

[@jamiez5545]

I’m waiting for Storm of Locusts from the Libby app. The first book (Trail of Lightning) really surprised me but I almost DNF’d it during the first chapter because the violence was a bit much for me. I’m glad I didn’t because the world and the characters are so interesting and unlike anything I’ve ever read.

[@mollyuhe]

I need to catch up on / finish: the Expanse series (I'm on book four) and the Stormlight Archives by Brandon Sanderson.

[@BrewsandReviews]

That's exactly what I want to do with Godsgrave! I can't deal with cliffhangers lol. I need to read The Tiger's Daughter; I've been wanting to for soooo long. The Wicked and the Divine.

[@MortMe0430]

Crooked Kingdom, Thunderhead (arc of a scythe, bk 2), Edge of the Abyss.

[@melanieyputo]

When it come to catching up I don't have that many. I need to catch up on the Shadowhunters books (I know it's not just one series but since they are all related I count them as one), need to read the second book on the Truly Devious trilogy before the 3rd one comes out, I guess I need to read Crooked Kingdom to catch up? Since there is going to be a 3rd book. The Wayward Children series too (only read the 1st one yet), the Servamp manga and the ACOTAR series too since, I guess, the new trilogy counts in the same series and I've only read the 1st book.

[@vamporchid]

Still excited for you to start the Queens of renthia series lol

[@AspasiaDGordon]

I'm on Vol. 6 of The Wicked and the Divine and its...okay? Weird? Not the best, but not bad (yet)? I have the next 2 to read and the final one comes out in Sept. God, I hope it doesn't suck.

[@obi-wan-pierogi]

I need to finish the wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan , I got to book 13 and got burned out after a year of reading lol! I have the series on my Kindle so I'll probably start that in the next week or so.

[@booksvsmovies]

I just read A Closed and Common Orbit by Becky Chambers and I'm craving more of her writing but I also don't want to have no more stories to read from her. I'm in that awkward state on dying to read more from her but not wanting to finish the series.

[@marril96]

Have you heard of Pitch Dark by Courtney Alameda? I heard good things. Ordered it today and excited to read. :)

[@stageybookish9893]

SAGA Volume 9 - OMG!!!!! 😮😮😮😮

[@kristinhershey1903]

Have you read Iron Gold? Curious because Dark Age is coming out this summer and it’s definitely a big change from the original 3 Red Rising books.

[@leflusz]

Uhhh, so LUCKY YOU! I wish I never read The Wicked King... but I did... last November (yup, I've got an arc) ... and I'm slowly dying till then!!! Godsgrave's cliffhanger was NOTHING comparing to this one from The Wicked King... And as for me, I want to catch up on Charley Davidson, Kate Daniels, Alex Craft and Throne of Glass series ;)

[@ammalyrical5646]

Oh gosh, the Gentleman Bastards series is gonna be 7 books (just checked on GoodReads). Now I'm doubting if I wanna go on, I DNF'ed the first book two or three times before finishing it and then gave it a relatively low 3-star rating. Just thought it wasn't that good. For what I need to catch up on, there's several series and a whole bunch I either want to start or finish, but I don't feel like listing them here. But basically all of them are some sort of fantasy, which doesn't really surprise me.

[@mikayuu7793]

Yes restore me!! It’s really not that bad... defy me tho is a bit messy

[@wallacejames221]

"Six books out?" There's eight. Plus all the novellas, which are important. Plus the final book, 9, comes out around this time next year.

[@ThoughtsOnTomes]

LacePendragonReads are you referring to The Expanse?

[@wallacejames221]

@@BooksRebound I've only just finsihed reading 3 a few weeks ago. I've kind of slept on the series for the last year. I'm glad to know book 4 is better then what I've allready read because evrey book has just gotten better for me. Page turners for sure

[@MsLostsoul87]

At this point I'm just disappointed in Patrick Rothfuss. I used to recommend his books and I don't anymore. Once he started joking about the 10th anniversary edition of the first book in his series I was out. He actually used to say all 3 books were already written and the publisher didn't let him release them....and now he's said it's not even finished. I just cannot deal with someone who lies blatantly like that. Also once upon a time there was actually a book 3 date but that's years past now.

[@Avocadhoes]

Part of me hopes you read it because I’m so here for a gripe video, but everything after the original shatter me trilogy is pretty trash. Restore Me had some solid moments, but it loses any momentum it had in Defy Me. Defy Me is like a 300 page book and I had to take a break and read something else to get the bad taste out of my mouth. Obviously I don’t read the Shatter Me books critically, I’m just in it for a fun, easy read but it was just so glaringly bad. That said, maybe you’ll disagree 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@Doomslug]

Oh Sam... Restore Me is so bad. It's like Mafi took the plot holes from the original trilogy to make a new story. And that new story is supposed to be the "true" story 😬 Restore Me is Shatter Me badly re-written.

[@ThoughtsOnTomes]

OH NO
