Reading Series I Missed

There are so many series in the world that we'll never be able to get to. So many books that we won't make time for, or we'll just never know about, and it got me thinking. I've read some of the big hard hitting children's books that are out there (Harry Potter, Percy Jackson) but I haven't read them all. I've not read The Northern Lights, I haven't read Eragon, A Series of Unfortunate Events, and many more that I haven't listed, and it got me thinking, I really want to read some series that I haven't read before.

So I want to try it. I want to pick up one of the books I've never read and try it out, give an opinion on it. So, I'm going to try it.

So, I am going to be trying one series per month, and trying the first book from that series. If I like it, I will continue, and if I don't, I'll move onto another one. I have some pretty high hopes for this because you hear a lot of good things about these books. And here's the thing, if I don't like the book, then that's fine too! I'm not doing this for anything serious or to hate on these, books I'm just going into them to see.

I already have a few ideas of books I'd like to read, so here's a small list.

Eragon by Christopher Paolini
A Series of Unfortunate Events by Lemony Snicket
The Northern Lights by Philip Pullman
Artemis Fowl by Eoin Colfer

I'm going to start with the A Series of Unfortunate Events by Lemony Snicket, because I already have that book in my possession so it's just an easy one to begin with, but I'd love to hear which ones you think I should read next!

And that's it for now. But, if you have any ideas please let me know, I'm very excited to see if I like them or if I'm just not the right age for them and other things. So hit me up with ideas and hopefully this goes well!

A thought on book blogs...

There are many times that I've tried to sit down and start a book blog. This is my fourth or fifth attempt. And each and every time I do, I fail miserably because I don't have the time or the energy to keep it up, or I haven't been reading enough to warrant it, or I don't read the right books...which I know is ridiculous because we can read whatever we want...but I guess I'm just hesitant that people will judge me. Anyway, I end up saying that I'm going to write more and I end up just failing. With this in mind, a friend of mine does a book blog and for the past few months has been telling me that I should get to writing one and that because I read so much it should be something I love. And I've honestly wanted to get back into it. So, because it is my birthday tomorrow I decided to try it out again, do at least two posts a week for the next year and see how it goes. I'm not putting pressure on myself, I'm not trying to get myself to stress abou

Spoiler Free Review: In an Absent Dream

Title: In an Absent Dream (Book 4 in The Wayward Children Series) Author: Seanan McGuire Publisher: Tor Books Publishing Date: January 8th 2019 Goodreads blurb: This fourth entry and prequel tells the story of Lundy, a very serious young girl who would rather study and dream than become a respectable housewife and live up to the expectations of the world around her. As well she should. When she finds a doorway to a world founded on logic and reason, riddles and lies, she thinks she's found her paradise. Alas, everything costs at the goblin market, and when her time there is drawing to a close, she makes the kind of bargain that never plays out well. Review: This is technically the eighth book I've read from Seanan McGuire (four of which are under her pen name, Mira Grant) and honestly, I find it difficult to say which is my favourite series, this or the Newsflesh series. I think it's fascinating as to how Seanan McGuire is able to craft a story, especiall

Internalised Sexism in fandom for ACOTAR

  So, this is not how I expected to spend my last evening in self-isolation because of Covid but apparently I have a lot to say on this topic, so I’m sorry? This is also going on a VERY OLD not used blog so…you gotta do what you gotta do. First off, I’d like to say a quick disclaimer. This is a bit of fun for me, this is all opinion backed up from my own personal reading of Sarah J Maas’ books, but everyone reads things differently. Just because I read something in a certain way, doesn’t mean it’s fact. These characters do not belong to me, and this is purely opinion based. If you disagree with me, that’s 100% fine. I’m also willing to have discussions and debates about this as long as it doesn’t get aggressive or nasty, so yeah.   Also there’s gonna be spoilers so if you haven’t read the entire series or if you don’t want to look into it too deeply, you can skip it. Let’s get into it. I want to discuss the internalised sexism that the ACOTAR fanbase has seemingly put out there. This i
