Top Ten Tuesday: New Series I Want to Start

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish and it's a way to share what you're loving in list form. The topic changes every week, so there is always something new to discover!
This week's topic is:  New Series I Want to Start Reading.  I'm going to go with series that I want to start in general though...not just new ones.  In no particular order, here's my list:

Outlander by Diana Gabaldon
  • Because I love Scotland...and miss Scotland...and like historical stuff.
Legend by Marie Lu
  • This sounds like a fun series.  Similar to lots of dystopian series out now, but fun regardless.
The Selection by Kiera Cass
  • I love the cover art on this series.
Caster Chronicles by Kami Garcia
  • Saw the movie, Beautiful Creatures, and it was decent.  I would like to see if the books are as good as everyone says.
The Mortal Instruments by Cassandra Clare
  • Again, would like to see if they are as awesome as everyone claims they are.  I haven't seen the film, but I would assume I'm not missing much seeing as how the reviews weren't stellar.
All Souls Trilogy by Deborah Harkness
  • Witches, mysteries, and vampires.  This sounds pretty sweet!
Uglies by Scott Westerfeld
  • The series got rave reviews from a lot of people when it came out.  I've always meant to read it.
The Inheritance Cycle by Christopher Paolini
  • Same with this one.  Great reviews.
Finishing School by Gail Carriger
  • I just love a good Gail Carriger book.  They're fun, funny, and entertaining.
The Hangman's Daughter by Oliver Potzsch
  • This series was recommended by a friend and I love the cover art.  They look awesome.
Not too many upcoming series, but ones that have been on my TBR list for awhile.  Maybe it will be my goal to start plowing through these.

Look for next week's Top Ten:  Characters I Would Want to Be for Halloween or Books/Movies to Read/Watch to Get in the Halloween Spirit.  Verdicts still out on which I'll choose!

Happy reading!

2016 A-Z Blogging Challenge Theme Reveal

Image
Oooo...the day is getting closer; creeping stealthily, it will smack you in the face in no time! While we impatiently await the start of the challenge, it's time to reveal our themes.  Yay!  I'm going for something drastically different this year.  Something much more challenging than I've ever done in my previous four years participating in this particular challenge.  Normally my posts are pretty straight-forward, contained, not overly ambitious.  This year is going to be another beast all together. My mission, should I choose to accept it, will be to write one continuous story for the entire challenge.  I know my characters, setting, and where I want it to go...kind of.  All I need to figure out is how to get from point A to point Z.  The first word of each post will start with the letter for the day; some of these will definitely be more difficult than others, but I'm determined. I look forward to writing this, receiving feedback, and having a rip-roaring goo

L is for...Lighthouses

 It's a schizophrenic Saturday here in Oregon (what's new) and we're strolling in to the halfway point of the A-Z Blogging Challenge.  Today's letter brings us to a feature that many states along the coast possess and something that I've always had a fascination with... Lighthouses There are eleven total lighthouses along the Oregon Coast.  Nine were built for maritime purposes, five are still in operation, and two were privately built.  Of the eleven, nine of them are on the National Register of Historic Places.  There are five lighthouses that offer tours to visitors and each has a unique history.  Some even have sordid pasts and rumored ghosts that roam their buildings.  As a heads up, I apologize for the length of this post. From the north heading south along Highway 101, the lighthouses are as follows: Tillamook Rock Lighthouse is the furthest north and located near Seaside.  It is deactivated and the only lighthouse built offshore on a

C is for...Crater Lake

Image
Nearly halfway through the first week of the A-Z Challenge and we are to the letter C.  I hope everyone is plugging along nicely and not feeling pressured yet!  Today's letter is representative of... Crater Lake I love Crater Lake .  It's beautiful, fascinating, and awesome.  Located in Southern Oregon, Crater Lake is a body of water that has formed inside the remains of a once active volcano in the Cascade Range.  The caldera formed by the massive eruption of Mount Mazama 7700 years ago is now filled with crystal clear blue water and two islands; the main one being Wizard Island.  Fed only by rainfall and melting snow, the water is completely replaced every 250 years and one of the purest bodies of water in America in terms of absent pollutants.  The park is open year-round and visited by nearly half a million people annually, but many roads become impassible during the winter months.
