My Top 5 Book Series of All Time

Here’s a select few of my favorite series throughout the years, including when i was a middle schooler. Some of these books my be older but that doesn’t mean they’re not enjoyable hopefully you’ll dive into these and find something you absolutely adore! Most of these books include Winged Characters and are almost all fantasy or Science Fiction. Please check the trigger warnings for these books as well as the age rating, some of these could be considered YA Fantasy or YA Science Fiction but include sexual themes. Just a heads up before you dive into a different kind of fantasy that isn’t always appropriate for everyone. Thank you again for stopping by and Have a Wonderful Saturday!

ACOTAR

by Sarah j. Maas

This is a series near and dear to my heart, it got me out of a reading slump I’ve been in for years. Some may say that the first book is very hard to get through and I can understand that. About halfway through the book Sarah J. Maas captivated us with an amazing FMC (Female Main Character) and inspires us to stay strong in some of the toughest situations. All I can say is give this series a chance I absolutely adored every moment of these books and resonated with the characters and some of my own mental health struggles I’ve had over the years. If you’ve been wanting to get back into reading I highly recommend this series!

Villains and Virtues

by A. K. Caggiano

This three part series is the SLOWEST burn i’ve ever read but when i tell you it was worth the wait and the two MC (Main Characters) in this series are the cutest, well as cute as a demon spawn can be! She’s his exact opposite bubbly, blonde, adorable, he catches feelings which he believes that demon spawn are uncappable of love. Follow this Hilarious journey and watch what happens when opposites attract. Trust me when I say it is so worth the wait. ( All credit goes to the author A.

Maximum Ride Series

by James Patterson

This is a series i read all through out my middle school and teen years and even now as I’ve gotten older its one of my comfort series, i know what happens but it never stops me from picking this series up time and time again. Genetic Experiments, Wings, Possibly having to save the entire world as a teenager. Sounds thrilling and it definitely is. My mom gave me the hard back of this book from a thrift store a long time ago and it is well loved as it should be. I hope you soar into this 9 part series and Find out Max story I promise she and her friends are well worth the read!

The Mortal Instruments

by Cassandra Clare

Take a journey through the Eyes of Clary Fray, she’s 15 and just witnessed a murder by three teenage boys with strange tattoos and weapons she’s never seen before. This 6 book series is one I read before I left for the Army and i believe the last book in this series was released right before I left. Cassandra Clare has done a wonderful job of capturing all the characters in these books and made me find different ways to love each. This is a turbulent journey through ups and downs and keeps you on the edge of your seat. I recommend giving this one a shot it just might become one of your all-time favorites as well. (All credit goes to the author Cassandra Clare and her publisher Margaret K. McElderry Books). Below are the paperback versions of the series! I hope you got lost in their world like I did!

Throne of Glass Series

by Sarah J. Maas

Here again on the list is the beautiful and talented Sarah J. Maas, These series is not talked about nearly enough. I know that almost everyone in the BookTok world has heard of her ACOTAR series which of course is on this list as well, Throne of Glass is a beautiful story written about an assassin, I’d love to tell you more but I wouldn’t wanna spoil the books for you; just know it is an ever changing story line that pulls you and and never lets you go. It is a series you will always remember, even for year to come. I loved these books so much they’ve made it into my top five list. This is a 7 part series but also i want to include Assassins Blade which is the prelude to Throne of Glass. I recommend that you add this book in to understand Celaena Sardothien in the best way possible. Magic, Fire, Kings and Queens, Witches and Wyverns, and secret identities await you in this beautiful series. ( All credit goes to the author Sarah J. Maas and her Publisher Bloomsbury Publishing). Below i will add the links for all the paperback books including Assassins Blade. Hope you check them out and enjoy reading about one of the Strongest FMC (Female Main Characters) in a series I’ve ever experienced. Assassins Blade is recommended to be read before Queen of Shadows and After Heir of Fire but this is your experience and its up to you if you want to read it at all!

I will leave you with my top 5 for now, try and post regularly in my book recommendation page so there will always be more books for you too read. I just wanted to give you all a little insight into some of my favorite series. Each of these has a special place in my heart and i read them at different chapters in my life and unbeknownst to me each story i related to in my own way at that time. ACOTAR- a time when my mental health was at its lowest and Nesta made me feel like i wasn’t alone. The Mortal Instruments- The biggest changes and battles in your life help shape who you are and even if the outcome wasn’t what you were expecting doesn’t necessarily make it bad. Throne of Glass- I to could rise from the ashes and take control of my mind and body. I am a strong woman and can keep my head up even in the darkest of times. I hope these books find you at the right time in your life and help you push past an obstacle that you may be facing even if it is your own mind. Thank you as always for taking time out of your day to be here!

I know some of what we talked about today may be triggering for some especially those of us who may be on the edge of breaking. I urge you too talk to someone and get some help, there is no shame in needing help. Trust me when i say this if you feel like you are alone and there is no one to help you I promise you there is. I am so happy you’re here!

If you are feeling alone and having thoughts of suicide—whether or not you are in crisis—or know someone who is, don’t remain silent. Talk to someone you can trust through the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline. Call or text 988 or chat the lifeline.

For my Fellow Veterans i urge you too call or message the line if you need help at anytime, there is nothing shameful in getting and or needing help.
