This Week's Topic: 
Ten Series I Still Need to Finish 

1.

I have no idea as to whether or not I'll read this book, especially with how it ends. Maybe one day. 

2.

I read the first two books a couple years ago, so I'm not so sure how well I'll remember what happened... 

3.

Same as above.

4.

I actually read the second books relatively recently (as in last year), so I think I remember everything.

5.

I love this series, and was so excited to hear about this book, but I'm kind of bummed that the physical copy doesn't have all of the books in Daemon's point of view. I'd be cool with a 1,000+ page book.

6.

Yeah, it's a collection of short stories, but I still consider it a part of the series. I bought it recently and can't wait to dive right in, but I'm not ready for the feels to possibly come back.

7.

Same as above, but I have yet to buy the book. But I did read one of the short stories, The Moth in the Mirror, when it was just an ebook.

8.

While I was disappointed by the trilogy, I do want to read Bree's story, as she was one of the few things I liked about it.

9.

I started this one, but had to return it back to the library before I could finish it. However I do want to read it soon. 

10.

Same as above.

As you can see, I haven't finished many series, and these are just a few. I have a huge list of series that I need to finish, and I'm hoping to make some progress on that list this year!

The time has come to make a stand.

Gray Weathersby and his group of rebels are determined to bring down the Franconian Order. But they may be too late. The Order is closer than ever to its ultimate goal—building an unstoppable army—and every generation of Forgeries is more sophisticated, harder to detect, and deadlier than the one before.

Now the rebels have joined forces with new allies, the Expats. But when even the most familiar faces can’t be trusted, Gray will have to tread carefully if he wants to succeed—or survive.

The Heists were only the beginning.

Gray Weathersby escaped from the primitive town of Claysoot expecting to find answers, but what he discovered shook him to the core: A ruthless dictator with absolute power. An army of young soldiers blinded by lies. And a growing rebellion determined to fight back.

Now Gray has joined a team of rebels on a harsh, icy journey in search of allies who can help them set things right. But in a world built on lies, Gray must constantly question whether any ally—or enemy—is truly what they seem…

There are no men in Claysoot. There are boys—but every one of them vanishes at midnight on his eighteenth birthday. The ground shakes, the wind howls, a blinding light descends…and he’s gone.

They call it the Heist.

Gray Weathersby’s eighteenth birthday is mere months away, and he’s prepared to meet his fate–until he finds a strange note from his mother and starts to question everything he’s been raised to accept: the Council leaders and their obvious secrets. The Heist itself. And what lies beyond the Wall that surrounds Claysoot–a structure that no one can cross and survive.

Climbing the Wall is suicide, but what comes after the Heist could be worse. Should he sit back and wait to be taken–or risk everything on the hope of the other side?
