Okay, so as you know (or maybe not, but you do now), I had a massive reader slump in 2019. Nothing spoke to me, and there were a multitude of books I started and stopped, multiple times. Over the last 6 months or so my “revisit later” Goodreads bookshelf grew exponentially.
I even lost my drive for beloved ongoing series!
Which brings me to the point of this very brief post. I need to decide which ones are worth picking back up and which ones are duds. Who better to ask than my friends out here in the book blogosphere!
Here are the list of books that I want to read, but I can’t seem to prioritize. I’m ready for all your thoughts and ideas, and especially your advice. Which ones were your favorite? Please try to help me feel my excitement again.
I want to finish these series!
Help me make it happen!
I haven’t actually read any of the books on your list (yet) but I’ve been recommended by more than two people to start reading the Arc of Scythe series!
Or if you’re still having trouble choosing one. Write them all down on a seperate pieces of paper, scrunch them up, put them in a hat/cup etc. and choose one at random?

That is a GREAT idea! Thanks!
Also, I loved Scythe. I just haven’t been able to pick it back up, and I really want to!

I feel your pain. The amount of books/series I have not finished is so big that I don’t even try to keep track of it.
Anyway, Most of the books you listed I haven’t read (although they are on my list) but, if you need prioritizing I’d say to finish the trilogies you only have last book first, then move into Thunderhead and The Toll (my friends raved it quite the bit). I loved Sapphire Flames, but since next book only comes out later in the year, you have time.

I’ve been scared of Sapphire Flames, because of loved Rogan and Nevada so much I feel like a change of characters isn’t going to feel the same.

2019 was not a great reading year for me either. I felt like I spent more time in a slump than not. I haven’t read any on your list but I have heard great things about all of them. I hope 2020 is a better reading year for you. 😀

It sounds like 2019 was hard for everyone. I’m really hoping 2020 is rainbows and cash flow for ALL of us. We all deserve it!

My vote is for Shusterman. 😊

Yay! I think I’m leaning toward this series too. Finishing Thunderhead and The Toll closes out the series for me, so it’s a good way to go.

Obsidio was really good. 🙂

I started Obsidio during my slump, and quit after a chapter or two. I’m thinking maybe now that I’ve got my mojo back it’ll feel better.

I’m voting Obsidio because it’s the only one I’ve read, but it was awesome.

Obsidio is the last? Right? I feel like it’s a good one to read to close the series, especially because I want to read Aurora rising… so yeah, this one is probably going to be in the first couple books I read.

I just reread Thunderhead and then read The Toll, and thought it was a great wrap-up to the series. I also really enjoyed Wayward Son. Enjoy!
