October 27: Halloween themed freebie

I'm going with top 10 vampire books and there's quite a few adult ones on this list.

1. Interview With The Vampire by Anne Rice acutally all the early Vampire Chronicles Books. Yes she may have gone off the rails as of late but this is still one of my all time favorites.

2. The Darkyn Series by Lynn Viehl. Adult but really awesome!

3. The Black Dagger Brotherhood Series by J.R Ward. I may have not read the last few books butI do love this series.

4. Dracula by Bram Stoker. It's a classic and I love it.

5. I, Vampire by Michael Romkey. I love the way he used historical figures as vampires.

6. The Historian by Elizabeth Kostova. This one is super long but totally worthwhile.

7. The Vampire Academy Series and Bloodlines Series by Richelle Mead. Pure awesomeness!

8. The Vampire Diaries by L.J. Smith. Only the first 4 the rest sucked especially the ghostwritten ones.

9. The Blood of Eden Series by Julie Kagawa. I think this is my favorite series of here! Dystopian with vampires.

10. The Evernight Series by Claudia Gray. This is one of my all time favorites!

I have a few honorable mentions too.

Blue Bloods by Melissa de la Cruz

Night World by L.J. Smith

So what about you? What are your favorite vampire books? And come back next week for my  Top Ten Debut Authors Who Have Me Looking Forward To Their Sophomore Novel

Hi thanks for stopping by!!! And welcome to my Top 10 Tuesday post! 

Thanks to the lovely ladies at The Broke And The Bookish for creating this weekly meme!

Here's this week's topic.

September 8:  Ten Finished Series I Have YET to Finish

I'm normally pretty good at finishing series so I'm going to have to dig deep into my goodreads lists for these lol

1. THE MORTAL INSTRUMENTS Series by Cassie Clare (I was done after 3 and will never finish this one)

2. The FIRELIGHT Series by Sophie Jordan. I wasn't a big enough fan of the first two to read the third.

3. The VAMPIRE DIARIES Series by L.J. Smith. I finished the ones that counted (the first 4) after that they went downhill and I refuse to read the ones written by a ghost writer.

4. The VAMPIRE KISSES Series by Ellen Schreiber. IDK why I never finished this one.

5. The LUX Series by Jennifer L. Armentrout. I got bored with this one plus I hated the new covers so refused to buy them.

6. THE GODDESS TEST Series by Aimee Carter. The series was good just not good enough for me to continue. I got through book 2.

7.THE MEDUSA GIRLS Series by Tera Lynn Childs. Same as #6  

8. THE SEVEN REALMS Series by Cinda Williams Chima. I love high fantasy so I was really disappointed with this. I read book one and half of book 2 but this series totally bored me. I know there's some hardcore fans but I just don't get it. 

9. THE STEAMPUNK CHRONICLES by Kady Cross. Another I don't know why I haven't finished I loved the books I read just never got around to finishing.

10. The MARA DYER Series by Michelle Hodkin. I loved the forst book but they took so long to release the ones that followed I decided to give up. Doubt I'll eve finish this one.

So what about you? What series haven't you finished? And come back next week for my Ten????? FREEBIE I'll have to think about this one!

November 4: Top Ten Books I Want To Reread (or if you don't reread...would reread in an ideal world)

This one is tough there are so many books I'd love to re-read! Most of these are complete series btw.

1. THE STUDY and THE GLASS Books by Maria V. Snyder. These are the only books I do re-read at least once a year. These are my all time favorite high fantasy books and I'm so excited that the Study series is continuing!

2. THE WVMP SERIES by Jeri Smith-Ready. One of the 2 adult series on my list! I freaking love these books and the characters Shane is on my all time favorite book boyfriend list!

3.THE WICKED LOVELY SERIES by Melissa Marr. My all time favorite Fae series and my favorite out of all of Marr's books.

4. THE VAMPIRE ACADEMY series by Richelle Mead. I love all of Richelle's books I'd love to re-read these one day soon.

5. THE VAMPIRE DIARIES by L.J. Smith. Only the first 4 all the others are crap. I read these in the 90's and they're still on my re-read list to this day!

6. THE SWEEP SERIES by Cate Tiernan. This is my favorite YA witch series of all time if you haven't read it I highly suggest doing so :)

7. A THOUSAND PIECES OF YOU by Claudia Gray. Yeah I know this book just came out today but I read it months ago and I would love to re-read it like a million times!

8. THE FIRE AND THORNS series be Rae Carson. My heart misses Hector soooo badly I really think I may re-read this one soon!

9. THE DARKYN SERIES by Lynn Viehl. The second adult series on my list. I absolutely loved this one even more than The Black Dagger Brotherhood. Lynn's vampires are just so sexy!!!

10. THE HOST by Stephanie Meyer. I really did love this book even if it was a slow read at first. I'm hoping Stephanie gets off her rear and finishes the series someday.


So this is my list. What about you? What would you re-read if you had the time?

And come back next week for Top Ten Characters You Wish Would Get Their OWN Book (minor or just maybe a semi main character you wish a book was from their POV)
