10 Book Series I haven't read yet but I really want to

In the last post I talked about the 15 books I haven't read yet, so now I'm going to talk about the 10 book series I'm dying to read.

10 book series I haven't read yet but I really want to

(already published - not in any particular order)

1. The Selection

Since I first knew about this reality show lookalike series I've been wanting to read it; dystopia is not my favourite book genre but I really think I'd like these series.

2. Splintered

Some people would punch me if they knew I've had Splintered resting on my shelf for one year. When I first saw its synopsis it seemed charming and awesome to me (and it still does) but when I had it in my hands I realised it wasn't a book I was in the mood to read. And now you ask "But why did you get it if you weren't in the mood to read it, you dumb?" I think I found it so awesome I couldn't resist to buy it asap, and now I admit it has been resting on my shelf for too much time.

3. The Nightmare Affair

I don't know why, this series reminded me so much of the Ghost Girl series, so they caught my attention. I found out about them at the same time I did about Splintered, and I've been wanting to read the first book since then. I don't know anyone who read it so I haven't heard anything about it yet (except of Goodreads opinions, but I don't care much about them). 

4. The Paper Magician

I heard about these series before they came out in Spain (which happened 3 months ago aprox) and every time I see the first book in amazon or in a bookstore I'm TEMPTED to buy it and read it. The covers' designs are gorgeous and there's magic and magicians and awesome things. I've read many good opinions about it, so I'd like to pick them up once I'm finished with the Harry Potter series.

Yes.
You read it well.
I'm afraid to say that the number 5 is...

5. Harry Potter

I'm ashamed of this. I've been a bookworm my entire life (now more than ever) and I've never read any Harry Potter book. Shit happens; I've just haven't had the opportunity and haven't found the right moment to pick them up...until now. I'm planning to read them (or, at least, some of them) this summer and get into this magic fantastic world. 

6. Vampire Academy

Even though I've always been in love with vampires, I've never been into vampire themed books (plus, I've never read the Twilight series). Once, when I was at highschool, I picked up the first two books from the Midnight series by Claudia Gray because one of my best friends got them on her birthday and we read them together. I've seen the Vampire Academy movie and I liked it, so I think I would like the books as well.

7. The Lord of the Rings
Yes. Another shame. But I can explain it.

I'm planning to read the trilogy after finishing The Hobbit and all the Lost Tales of Middle Earth tomes. I'll read them for sure, not soon tho.

8. The Lunar Chronicles

A huge amount of people recommended me these series, and I want to read them, I promise. It's just that, as I've told many times to people who told me to read them, Cinder just doesn't catch my attention; I don't find it interesting. I may be wrong, I wish I am, but that's the reason I haven't read them yet.

9. Théâtre Illuminata

These series. I don't really know why I haven't picked up the first book yet. I was going to when I finished exams, but I decided to get Gena/Finn because I thought it would be lighter (I was sooooooooooo wrong, but this is not the right post to talk about it). Just look at the gorgeous covers and read its wonderful synopsis; you'll fall in love.

10. The Princess diaries
This is definitely
absolutely
completely
entirely
Aprilius Maximus' fault.
This is all I have to say about it.
If you've seen any of her videos you'll know what I mean.




Have you read any of these series? Which one do you prefer? Which one should I pick up first?

Thanks for reading!

15 books I haven't read yet but I really want to

(already published - not in any particular order)

1. We are the ants 

I saw very good opinions of this book on tumblr and I fell in love with its gorgeous cover. Plus, I absolutely love apocalyptic movies/books, and I know I'm going to adore this book. Some days ago, it had a 50~% discount on amazon, and now I regret not to have get it when it was a bargain -i find the paperback quite expensive. Maybe I'll get it this summer or in September, before I leave to Japan.

2. Fangirl
I've wanted to read this book since last year and I can't believe I haven't done it yet. I don't expect it to be one of my favourite reads at all, but I think it will be a very entertaining book for sure! I'm just waiting for amazon/bd to apply a good discount on it so I don't have to spend much money. This is the only Rainbow Rowell book I'm interested in and I'd like to read it soon. I think it would be a very good summer read.

3. Four
I finished Allegiant last month and I loved it so much! In general, I could say I've liked the Divergent trilogy very much, so I'd like to give Four a try! I barely know anything about it, so it will be a total surprise for me. It's possible I get it this summer. I never thought I would like this trilogy that much, to be honest.

4. The Unexpected Everything
This one is the newest book of the list, but I've wanted to read it since Morgan Matson announced its release. I don't think I will read it this summer because I already have lots of other books to read and I'd like to pick it up during my exchange, so I'm going to buy it on September.

5. Since You've Been Gone
Aaaand another Morgan Matson book. This one was the first book of her I aded in my tbr, but for some reasons I ended up reading Amy & Roger's Epic Detour first -and I don't regret it. At first, I wanted to read it with my bff, but I think I'll pick it up whenever I'm in the mood to read it. The synopsis reminded me so much of my old favourite book Before I die -even though I think this one will be less tragic.

6. My life next door
Most of Huntley Fitzpatrick novels seem to be very interesting, but this one caught my attention one year ago, although I haven't bought it yet. It was released in Spain some months ago, but the Spanish paperback edition is ridiculously expensive, so I'll buy the cute US edition someday.

7. The Tricking of Freya
Due to what this books involves -Iceland, traveling, ICELAND- I already know this will be one of my very favourite books. Iplanned to buy it last Christmas,but for some reason it didn't happen. I don't know anyone who have read it, but I've seen very good opinons on goodreads. All the books with trip stories deserve all the love.

8. Wink Poppy Midnight
Melanie from One Less Lonely Blog recommended this book to me, so I'm going to trust her since she was the one who helped me to decide whether to read ILLUMINAE or not -and now it's my very fav book lmao. Furthermore, the synopsis really caught my attention, it seems to be a very special book and its cover is so gorgeous. I'm going to read it very soon, I promise.

9. Made You Up
This is another book that's been in my tbr for a long time. I believe this is a different book, a very special book. This one caught my attention because I'd like to read about some character who has to deal with schizophrenia, and I've seen this book is very good written and the story is very interesting. I've not read it yet because, even though it looks very interesting, it's not a subject I'm always in the mood to read about.

10. Thanks for the Trouble
This one will be probably the first book of the list I'll read, since it's already on my bookshelf. When Tommy Wallach announced the release of this book, I already knew I would like it; it has a very interesting plot, I love the way the author writes and look at this gorgeous cover! Both the cover and the plot reminds me of Wes Anderson movies, who happens to be my favourite director, so I don't expect anything disappointing from this book. Furthermore, people who loved We all looked up also loved this one, so I can't wait to spend an entire weekend reading it!

11. 13 Little Blue Envelopes
You guys need to know I love traveling books and this one looks very enjoyable. It was released in Spain recently, but it's ridiculously expensive (again), so I'll buy the US edition anyways. Although I'm very excited to read this book, I'm not planning to read it soon.

12. Pride and Prejudice
I'm currently reading Emma and I think I could love this book. I think it's a book I would totally read and I haven't seen the movie, so every plot twist will be a surprise for me. Plus, this one is one of my bff's (Eva) favourite book,
I don't think I have to tell any reason to read it, I just have to pick it up.

13. Don't stop now
I think this book was the first one I added in my goodreads tbr. I remember why I added it: road trip. As far as I know, the main character starts a road trip with her bff in order to find her friend, who has faked her own kidnapping. This plot can make a great book, so that's why I want to read it. I don't remember why I haven't bought/read it yet, but I'd like to get it asap.

14. All the bright places
I've been wanting to read this book since it came out, but time passed and I lost the hype. I thought it would be like any other YA, so I didn't keep interested in it but I've seen lots of good opinions lately and it is still hyped by lots of people. I just think I should read it and see how good it is by myself.

15. Jane Eyre
I could say I got interested in Jane Eyre's plot by myself, but I would be lying; this is all April's (from the Aprilius Maximus YT channel) fault. As some of you may know, April is my favourite booktuber ever and I watch all of her videos; lately, she's mentioned how good this book is in every video and I have to admit she really knows how to convince people to read a book. The plot looks very interesting, but since it's a very thick book, I'll pick it up once I'm in the mood to read it.





Leave a comment if you've read any of these, please! Which one should I read after Thanks for the Trouble? Do you want to read any of these as well?

It's nice to be back! ~

Books I'll be waiting for - 2k16 ver

Last year was a great bookish year and 2016 does even seem to be better! These are the books that are gonna have a place in my bookshelf:

This is where it ends (5th January) 
(synopsis by Goodreads)

10:02 a.m.

The auditorium doors won't open.

Told over the span of 54 harrowing minutes from four different perspectives, terror reigns as one student's calculated revenge turns into the ultimate game of survival.

LUO TALKS:

Since I first saw this book I've been waiting to read it and enjoy it. Its synopsis reminded me of the movie "Elephant" which is basically about two boys who go nuts and decide to kill everybody in their highschool (follow me for more great reviews lmao). I'll be most likely getting it for my birthday, which is this month's 24th. 

 Cómeme si te atreves (14th January)
(synopsis by Goodreads)
¿Lo arriesgarías todo por un amor perdido?

Babia tiene diecisiete años, una guitarra, un gato que se llama Mousse de chocolate y unos cuantos kilos de más que el resto del mundo se empeña en recordarle. El verano toma un giro inesperado cuando Daniel Creek regresa a su vida, justo en el momento en el que ella acaba de aceptar ser la acompañante y casamentera de su prima Helena para ganar un dinero extra. Pese a las advertencias de su tía Gloria, Babia decide que solamente tendrá que pasar dos meses más aparentando y después no volverá a verles. Un inesperado giro de los acontecimientos hace que Babia, Helena y Daniel terminen trabajando en el mismo sitio durante todo el verano. Y esto hará que la amistad de Babia y Daniel cuando eran pequeños resurja y con ella todos los sentimientos que Babia trataba de esconder fingiendo que no le echaba de menos. ¿Es capaz un beso de despertar todos los recuerdos que viven en nuestros corazones?

LUO TALKS:

Algo tiene este libro que en cuanto vi su sinopsis una voz dentro de mí me dijo que me iba a gustar mucho y debía hacerme con él. Puede ser, también, porque la trama parece desarrollarse en un ambiente de trabajo de verano, de lo cuál no he leído ningún libro hasta ahora y en mi entorno familiar ha sido siempre obligación pasarse el verano trabajando (a partir de la edad legal, claro está). Planeo comprarlo el mismo día en el que llega a todas las librerías. 

The Love That Split the World (26th January)

(synopsis by Goodreads)

Natalie Cleary must risk her future and leap blindly into a vast unknown for the chance to build a new world with the boy she loves. 

Natalie’s last summer in her small Kentucky hometown is off to a magical start... until she starts seeing the “wrong things.” They’re just momentary glimpses at first—her front door is red instead of its usual green, there’s a pre-school where the garden store should be. But then her whole town disappears for hours, fading away into rolling hills and grazing buffalo, and Nat knows something isn’t right.  

That’s when she gets a visit from the kind but mysterious apparition she calls “Grandmother,” who tells her: “You have three months to save him.” The next night, under the stadium lights of the high school football field, she meets a beautiful boy named Beau, and it’s as if time just stops and nothing exists. Nothing, except Natalie and Beau.

Emily Henry’s stunning debut novel is Friday Night Lights meets The Time Traveler’s Wife, and perfectly captures those bittersweet months after high school, when we dream not only of the future, but of all the roads and paths we’ve left untaken.

LUO TALKS:

Do I really have to say why do I want to read this book? I mean, read this synopsis, look at this gorgeous cover. I think this should be one of my birthday presents, tbh.

Thanks for the Trouble (23rd February)

(synopsis by Goodreads)

Tommy Wallach, the New York Times bestselling author of the “stunning debut” (Kirkus Reviews, starred review) We All Looked Up, delivers a brilliant new novel about a young man who overcomes a crippling loss and finds the courage to live after meeting an enigmatic girl.

“Was this story written about me?”

I shrugged. 

“Yes or no?”

I shrugged again, finally earning a little scowl, which somehow made the girl even more pretty.

“It’s very rude not to answer simple questions,” she said.

I gestured for my journal, but she still wouldn’t give it to me. So I took out my pen and wrote on my palm.

I can’t, I wrote. Then, in tiny letters below it: Now don’t you feel like a jerk?

Parker Santé hasn’t spoken a word in five years. While his classmates plan for bright futures, he skips school to hang out in hotels, killing time by watching the guests. But when he meets a silver-haired girl named Zelda Toth, a girl who claims to be quite a bit older than she looks, he’ll discover there just might be a few things left worth living for.

From the celebrated author of We All Looked Up comes a unique story of first and last loves.

LUO TALKS:
After giving me one of my favourite books ever (We all looked up), Tommy Wallach comes back with this art piece which seems to be A-W-E-S-O-M-E. Fortunately, I won't have to wait much to get this book and I do really think I'll love it very much.

Summer Days & Summer Nights: Twelve Love Stories (14th June)

(synopsis by Goodreads)

Maybe it's the long, lazy days, or maybe it's the heat making everyone a little bit crazy. Whatever the reason, summer is the perfect time for love to bloom. Summer Days & Summer Nights: Twelve Love Stories, written by twelve bestselling young adult writers and edited by the international bestselling author Stephanie Perkins, will have you dreaming of sunset strolls by the lake. So set out your beach chair and grab your sunglasses. You have twelve reasons this summer to soak up the sun and fall in love. 

Featuring stories by Leigh Bardugo, Francesca Lia Block, Libba Bray, Cassandra Clare, Brandy Colbert, Tim Federle, Lev Grossman, Nina LaCour, Stephanie Perkins, Veronica Roth, Jon Skovron, and Jennifer E. Smith.

LUO TALKS:
I've been pretty obsessed with this book and My true love gave to me so that's why I got this last one for Christmas. I'm still reading it and I have to say it's boring. I'm really disappointed about it because I expected it to be awesome due to the amount of fantastic authors it has in it and because I love Christmas stories. I know I can't have a solid opinion of it yet since I haven't finished it, but I don't think it will be one of my favourite books. Despite of that, I expect the summer one to be awesome so I'll give it a chance before moving to Japan.

Aarie (sine die) /Magonia #2/

LUO TALKS: 

I read Magonia last summer and it was a slow reading but I ended up loving it and its characters so much. I can't talk very much about it because it will be a spoiler so if you haven't read Magonia yet, just do it before this beauty comes out. 

Do you know any of these books? Did I make you want to read one of them? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
