1.) The Selection Series:
For thirty-five girls, the Selection is the chance of a lifetime. The opportunity to escape the life laid out for them since birth. To be swept up in a world of glittering gowns and priceless jewels. To live in a palace and compete for the heart of gorgeous Prince Maxon.
But for America Singer, being Selected is a nightmare. It means turning her back on her secret love with Aspen, who is a caste below her. Leaving her home to enter a fierce competition for a crown she doesn't want. Living in a palace that is constantly threatened by violent rebel attacks.
Then America meets Prince Maxon. Gradually, she starts to question all the plans she's made for herself—and realizes that the life she's always dreamed of may not compare to a future she never imagined.
The Selection Series is actually pretty popular and I have heard such good things about it. Even though I have purchased the first book, I just haven't gotten to it. I have heard a few people say that the main character, America Singer, is kind of whiny? I know I need to read it and I plan to in the next few months.
2.) The Cinder Books
Humans and androids crowd the raucous streets of New Beijing. A deadly plague ravages the population. From space, a ruthless lunar people watch, waiting to make their move. No one knows that Earth's fate hinges on one girl. . . .
Cinder, a gifted mechanic, is a cyborg. She's a second-class citizen with a mysterious past, reviled by her stepmother and blamed for her stepsister's illness. But when her life becomes intertwined with the handsome Prince Kai's, she suddenly finds herself at the center of an intergalactic struggle, and a forbidden attraction. Caught between duty and freedom, loyalty and betrayal, she must uncover secrets about her past in order to protect her world's future.
Just like the Selection series, I have heard so many good things about Cinder. I have even read the first few chapters of Cinder, but eventually I got distracted by Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas and The Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard. I have purchased the first two books, Cinder and Scarlet, and I have yet to obtain the rest. It is to my understanding that the fourth book, Winter, will be released in November. I will purchase Cress and Winter together then begin the first book again. I want to enjoy and fangirl over this series as well!
3. The Grisha Trilogy
Surrounded by enemies, the once-great nation of Ravka has been torn in two by the Shadow Fold, a swath of near impenetrable darkness crawling with monsters who feast on human flesh. Now its fate may rest on the shoulders of one lonely refugee.
Alina Starkov has never been good at anything. But when her regiment is attacked on the Fold and her best friend is brutally injured, Alina reveals a dormant power that saves his life--a power that could be the key to setting her war-ravaged country free. Wrenched from everything she knows, Alina is whisked away to the royal court to be trained as a member of the Grisha, the magical elite led by the mysterious Darkling.
Yet nothing in this lavish world is what it seems. With darkness looming and an entire kingdom depending on her untamed power, Alina will have to confront the secrets of the Grisha . . . and the secrets of her heart.
I haven't read this book yet because I don't have the entire series. I have only had a few people give a good review of this book. For example, Sasha Alsberg. I watch her booktube channel (WHICH I LOVE) and Idi introduced to this book by her. I'm kind of nervous to read it? Have you read it and if so, is it a wonderful book? I have put it on my future TBR pile.
4.) Heroes of Olympus
Jason has a problem. He doesn't remember anything before waking up on a school bus holding hands with a girl. Apparently she's his girlfriend Piper, his best friend is a kid named Leo, and they're all students in the Wilderness School, a boarding school for "bad kids." What he did to end up here, Jason has no idea-except that everything seems very wrong.
Piper has a secret. Her father has been missing for three days, and her vivid nightmares reveal that he's in terrible danger. Now her boyfriend doesn't recognize her, and when a freak storm and strange creatures attack during a school field trip, she, Jason, and Leo are whisked away to someplace called Camp Half-Blood. What is going on?
Leo has a way with tools. His new cabin at Camp Half-Blood is filled with them. Seriously, the place beats Wilderness School hands down, with its weapons training, monsters, and fine-looking girls. What's troubling is the curse everyone keeps talking about, and that a camper's gone missing. Weirdest of all, his bunkmates insist they are all-including Leo-related to a god.
Just to clarify, I love Rick Riordan and all of his books. I read the Percy Jackson series in two days because I was so dedicated to Rick's writing... and Percabeth, BUT THAT IS NOT THE POINT. I have actually read the first book, The Lost Hero, but I don't count that because I skimmed through it and haven't picked it up again. I did like the book, I just got distracted with homework and other activities! So, I tell people I haven't read this series. To me, reading a book is actually READING (not skimming like I did), taking time to understand the book. and get to know the plot and characters. I did not do that during the first round with the Lost Hero, so I plan to purchase these books or put them on my Christmas list very soon!
5.) Harry Potter. (Please don't kill me)
Harry Potter has no idea how famous he is. That's because he's being raised by his miserable aunt and uncle who are terrified Harry will learn that he's really a wizard, just as his parents were. But everything changes when Harry is summoned to attend an infamous school for wizards, and he begins to discover some clues about his illustrious birthright. From the surprising way he is greeted by a lovable giant, to the unique curriculum and colorful faculty at his unusual school, Harry finds himself drawn deep inside a mystical world he never knew existed and closer to his own noble destiny.
Okay, I confess. I have NOT read any of the Harry Potter books, by J.K Rowling. Please do not chop me into little piece. I know I need to read these books, but I honestly have so many books on the top of my list that I have planned to read. I will eventually get to this series, but I just. Haven't. I'm not saying it sucks and I'm not saying its amazing, because I honestly don't know. Hopefully, I don't lose you Potter Heads. Again, please don't shame me for not reading these books. I'm sure there are many series out there that we should have read by now and maybe some of you reader don't like this series or any of the others I have listed!
Thank you so much for reading! I am so excited to be reading during this season because I can cuddle up with a blanket and watch the colorful trees as I read. Plus, I can't wait for the Autumn scented candles! Hope this list helped you all to get to know me better. What would you like to see on my blog? Have you read or not read any of these series? Tell me down below and Happy Reading!
** You can purchase all of these books at Amazon or Barnes and Nobles**
