Summertime is a great time to re-read some old favourite books. As I do every summer, I want to take the time to read some of my old favourties again. Looking through my shelves, I noticed so many series that I want to read again. So, the following are the series that I hope to finish re-reading by the end of the summer.
1. Vampire Academy by Richelle Mead - 0/6 Done
This is one of my favourite book series of all time and, unfortunately, I haven't had the chance to read it again in ages. I'm really hoping to re-read this series this summer because I've seriously missed this world and these characters.
2. Bloodlines by Richelle Mead - 0/6 Done
As much as I love the original Vampire Academy series, I actually love this spin-off series even more! It has a greater focus on Adrian and Eddie - two of my favourite characters from these two series. And, I relate to Sydney more than I do Rose which makes me even more invested in her story.
3. Darkest Powers by Kelley Armstrong - 3/3 Done
I originally read this series around the same time I first started Vampire Academy and I've always loved it. I love all the main characters of the series - particularly Derek and Chloe - and re-reading the series was just as fun as always!
4. Darkness Rising by Kelley Armstrong - 3/3 Done
As I spin-off of the Darkest Powers trilogy, I've always loved Darkness Rising as well. Though I don't think it's as strong as the original trilogy, it's still a lot of fun to read. And, it's great to have the characters from the original trilogy show up again and have their storyline wrapped up.
5. A Series of Unfortunate Events by Lemony Snicket - 2/13 Done
Such a fun children's series to re-read! I remember reading this series when I was younger and absolutely loving it. Unfortunately, I read them over a long period of time and would never quite remember what happened in the previous book. And even now, I can't remember what happened throughout the books. I'm really looking forward to re-reading the rest of them and experiencing the story again. The only bad thing I have to say is that, for the first two books anyway, the writing is more childish than I remember or what I'd prefer to be reading. That being said, it is to be expected from a children's series and it doesn't really negatively impact the reading experience.
6. Phantom Stallion by Terri Farley - 3/24 Done
Growing up, this was one of my favourite book series of all time. The first few books in the series have been read so many times that they're almost falling apart in my hands as I read them. I haven't read these books since the final one was published in 2006! I've only re-read the first three so far, but I still love them after all this time. Though definitely a series for kids, I can't help enjoying them as much as I did when I was younger. I'm looking forward to reading through the rest of them soon!
7. Breathing by Rebecca Donovan - 0/3 Done
This is one of the most heartbreaking series that I can remember reading. But, it is so beautiful as well. I love these characters and have been wanting to re-read this series for some time now.
8. The Mortal Instruments by Cassandra Clare - 0/6 Done
This is a series that I used to re-read all the time! After the last book came out though, I don't think I've gone back to it. I've seen a lot of other people re-reading this series recently and it's encouraged me to give it a go again as well. I've really missed this world and the characters, so I'm definitely looking forward to it!
9. The Infernal Devices by Cassandra Clare - 0/3 Done
You can't read The Mortal Instruments without also re-reading this series as well! I've only actually read this series once (maybe the first book twice) and I can't really remember what happens in it. Definitely looking forward to re-reading this one because I know it's widely loved!
10. The Maze Runner by James Dashner - 0/3 Done
When I originally read this series, it quickly became one of my favourites. I haven't read it in awhile though and I've really been missing it. I also recently realized that there are a lot of negative views toward this series and kind of want to figure out if it's still as good as I remember it to be.
11. The Lunar Chronicles by Marissa Meyer - 0/4 Done
When I originally picked up this book series I really didn't know what to expect. And, to be honest, I really didn't think I'd enjoy it. I passed up the chance to buy Cinder for months before I finally decided to give it a shot. Luckily I did, because this series is absolutely amazing! But, I blew through it so fast the first time that I don't remember much of what happened. And, I haven't had the chance to re-read it since. Until now. I'm definitely looking forward to reading it again!
How about all of you? Are you looking forward to re-reading some old favourites this summer? Let me know in the comments below!
