Book Series of 2018!

Hello guys! I am coming back today with a double post for you, in excuse for skipping yesterday's blogpost...😌 So, today, I will be talking about the series I completed in 2018 and the second portion of this post will be about the series I started or continued reading in 2018!!!


Let's begin!

A. Book series I completed in 2018!

This was the best reading year so far for me!! I completed 7 series!!! SEVEN! That was so cool!

1. Robert Langdon by Dan Brown


This year I read Origin by Dan Brown! It was a 5 star read for me!! I am sure this series is not finished yet but since there hasn't been any new announcements I count this series as completed for now!!! Origin is the fifth book in the series and the first four are:

  • Angels and Demons
  • The Da Vinci Code
  • The Lost Symbol
  • Inferno


2. The 5th Wave by Rick Yancey


This year I finally read the finale to that series; The Last Star 
It was an ok series for me. It started pretty epic with The 5th Wave being a 5 star read but the sequels did not end up that good. This series consists off:



3. Divergent by Veronica Roth


FINALLY!!! I read Allegient and I now understand why this book caused so many talks!!! I am happy to put this series behind me... It was a fun ride but I am done!! Haha!!I haven't posted a review about Allegient... Do you want one???
 This series includes:



4. Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard


War Storm came out this year and so another series came to an end! And another dystopian one, like the previous two! It was a pretty good series but it did not blown my mind to be honest. However, I will miss the characters and I heard the there will be a novella following War Storm even though the series is concluded! Books in this series:



5. The Edinburgh Seer by Alisha Klapheke


I read these as e-books back to back and I really enjoyed them! They are fantasy young adult books set in an alternative modern Scotland! Cool! It was released this year so makesure to check these out:



6. The Glittering Court by Richelle Mead


The finale to that trilogy came out this year and we finally learned Tamsin's story and point of view of events!! Books in this series:






7. Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas


OMG!! One of my most favorite book series of all time came to an end! What a wild ride!!! A series full of adventure, plot twists, feelings... so many feelings! Such a great cast of characters! Oh, I didn't want that series to end!!! I already miss all the characters!!! I WANT MORE!!!! I loved that world! I believed I rated every book with 5 stars!!!! AMAZING!!!! READ THEM ALL:




B. Book series I started/kept reading in 2018

1. The Plantagenet And Tudor Novels by Philippa Gregory


My goal for 2018 was to finish this series which consists of 15 books! I had read the first five in previous years and I only read 4 out of the ten remaining... So, you kust figured out one of my bookish goals for 2019! And probably 2020... let's be real! I read from The Constant princess till The Other Boleyn Girl this year. This series consists off:




2. The Lunar Chronicles by Marissa Meyer


I read one book per year from this series and I have only Winter that I "saved" for 2019! I enjoy this series so much!!! They are fairy tale re-telliongs, each one based on one famous heroine from our childhood! I recommend them to everyone!! This series consists off:
