TBR: Comics/Graphic Novels

I have quite a hefty list of comic books and graphic novels that I want to read, and it seems to be ever growing so these are the ones I currently have on my list. I decided to lump them together in one post because they are very similar and it seemed a tad repetitive to do one post for each.

Month of First's

So unconsciously I have made the month of October the month of first's. I am currently reading my first dragon book, Seraphina by Rachel Hartman. After I have finished Seraphina I intend on reading my first proper horror, my first Stephen King and my first non middle grade Neil Gaiman. I have decided that dragon books are all they are hyped up to be and that I wish I hadn't of put off reading a dragon book for so long. I am very excited about my first horror and Stephen king, I constantly hear such great things about Stephen king so I look forward to being able to contribute my opinions as well. The book I am going to pick up is Carrie, I decided on Carrie because its shorter than alot of his other books and I loved the cover. As for the non middle grade Neil Gaiman I am going to pick up stardust and the ocean at the end of the lane, I am also really excited to pick these two up. So yea the month of first's! I am happy I have accidentally done this.

October TBR

During October I wanna finish a bunch of series, read my first Stephen King and some more Neil Gaiman. Also want to try polish off my borrowed/library book pile.
  Carrie The Ocean at the End of the Lane Stardust 
Crown of Midnight (Throne of Glass, #2) Sweet Peril (The Sweet Trilogy, #2) Ruin and Rising (The Grisha, #3)

These are the books I will definitely read and the rest is up to how I feel. I have 2 weeks of holiday in the month of October so should get plenty read!

Classic's

Although I read a lot I don't consider my self very well read. I would like to put a stop to that feeling by reading more classics and adult fiction to get a way from my almost just young adult reading pallet. In particular I have hardly read any classics so I would like to put amends to that. Over the next year I would like to read a bunch more classics, don't really have a specific number but I do have a list I will pick and chose from though out the year.


  • Girl Interrupted - Susanna Kaysen
  • The Virgin Suicides - Jeffrey Eugenides
  • Lolita - Vladimir Nabokov
  • Pride and Prejudice - Jane Austen
  • Emma - Jane Austen
  • Sense and Sensibility - Jane Austen
  • 1984 - George Orwell
  • Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy - Douglas Adams
  • To Kill a Mockingbird - Harper Lee
  • The Great Gatsby - F. Scott Fitzgerald
  • Jane Eyre - Charlotte Bronte
  • The Catcher in the Rye - J.D. Salinger
  • The Picture of Dorian Gray - Oscar Wilde
  • Wuthering Heights - Emily Bronte
  • Dracula - Bram Stoker
  • Les Miserables - Victor Hugo
Hopefully I will get to at least half of these within the next year.

Series Overload..

After taking a look at all of the series I am currently reading I have realized I have a problem. I am currently reading a total of 17 series most of which I have only read one or two books from. How I let this list get so big I don't know but here is a list of all of them. Some I am close to finishing others not so much.

  • Amulet - Kazu Kibuishi 5/6
  • Linked - Imogen Howson 1/2
  • Percy Jackson - Rick Riordan 3/5
  • Grisha Trilogy - Liegh Bardugo 4/6
  • Chaos Walking - Patrick Ness 1/6
  • Steelheart - Brandon Sanderson 1/2 +2 to be realeased
  • The Assassin's Curse - Cassandra Rose Clark 2/5
  • The Heir Chronicles - Cinda Williams Chima 1/5
  • Legend - Marie Lu 1/4
  • Leviathan - Scott Westerfeld 1/3
  • Crank - Ellen Hopkins 2/3
  • Avalon - Mindee Arnett 1/2 +1 to be realeased
  • The Giver - Lowis Lowry 1/4
  • Sweet Trilogy - Wendy Higgins 1/3
  • Shatter Me - Tahareh Mafi 1/5
  • Throne of Glass - Sarah J. Maas 1/9
  • Lux - Jennifer L. Armentrout 1/6
Favorites of the list so far would have to be The Assassin's Curse, Grisha Trilogy, The Giver and Throne of Glass. So I would recommend those to anyone who hasn't picked them up yet.
But in all seriousness I need to get this list under control.
