Book Haul #103, Or The One Where I Fall Off The Wagon A Bit...

Stacking the Shelves is a weekly event hosted on Tynga's Reviews where we can share what new books we've picked up this past week be they bought, borrowed or downloaded. There are also lots of other 'book haul' memes out there for you to choose from!

As you may have guessed from this post's title I bought books this week, not a huge amount but still more than I wanted to. I think because I had a gift card I got into the mindset I could buy anything I wanted and it didn't count... Crazy, crazy thinking but at least I was fairly restrained! Keep thinking holiday & ComicCon!!! It was my library book delivery this week too but I think I'll leave that until next week as I got a lot of books, and by a lot I mean about thirty. Yes, thirty library books...

Here's what I got for review this week and what I spent my gift card/hard earned pennies on!

Top Ten Tuesday #26 - Best/Worst Series Enders

Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by the lovely people at The Broke and the Bookish. This week's topic is -

Top Ten Best/Worst Series Enders

This week's Top Ten post nearly didn't happen! I decided to liven up everybody's Monday and ended up being rushed to the hospital in an ambulance after passing out! I never do things by halves... I ended up getting a clean bill of health - sort of - but I've got to see my doctor next week and schedule some tests. Fingers crossed it's nothing worth talking about! Anyway, that's why my post is so late today and why nothing went up yesterday - apologies folks!

This topic was weird for me as I must have started over a hundred different series and only finished a handful, mostly ones listed here. I've split them into three different categories - worst, indifferent and best.

Worst - I demand a re-write!

Breaking Dawn - Stephenie Meyer

The Summer Garden - Paullina Simons

Indifferent - Didn't love the ending, didn't hate it either...

Mockingjay - Suzanne Collins

Gone - Lisa McMann

The Amber Spyglass - Philip Pullman

Best - Nearly perfect endings!

Last Sacrifice - Richelle Mead

Harry Potter & the Deathly Hallows - J K Rowling

If I Should Die - Amy Plum

Monsters of Men - Patrick Ness

The Iron Knight - Julie Kagawa

What's on your list? I'm sure I've forgotten a series or two, I can't believe those are among the only ones I've finished!
