I don't generally like to TBR as I tend to pick up books depending on how I'm feeling at that moment in time; I don't like to put too much pressure on myself to read as I've done that before and it just hasn't been pretty. Therefore, I'm just going to post the top books that I want to read as soon:

Harry Potter - JK Rowling

I've got a confession to make - this may make the world turn upside down and cause riots - but I haven't read the last book in the series Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (awaits judgement). I decided it was time to reread the whole of the Harry Potter series in sequence in order to get myself up to date and to finally finish the series, and due to the fact that I'm currently travelling around Australia it would be extremely impractical to be carrying around seven massively huge and heavy books. Therefore, I have decided to try out the Amazon Kindle Unlimited service (which I will probably review at some point in the future) as all the Harry Potter books are available to read on that - I have recently finished The Prisoner of Azkaban and am thoroughly enjoying the journey back into the wizarding world of Hogwarts.

The Mortal Instruments (5 + 6) - Cassandra Clare

I just have the last two books in the Mortal Instruments series to finish; City of Lost Souls and City of Heavenly Fire. As with the Harry Potter books, I am getting these on the Amazon Kindle Unlimited service as well, as the whole series is available for reading there. I haven't enjoyed The Mortal Instruments series as much as I did The Infernal Devices (which may be the first reread I willingly do) as it isn't as intriguing and has way too many plot twists that it's starting to become stupidly confusing. I will admit that they are fast paced action packed reads, which on the surface layer of the book are incredible, but once you get into actually processing what's happened, it's a little bit ridiculous. However, I will be continuing with this series till the very end and I will see what I think when I get there.

The Year Of The Flood - Margaret Atwood

This is a book that I put on my back burner list last year and have never come back to finish reading it. It wasn't a bad book, in fact quite the contrary, but I just wasn't feeling the read at the time, as sometimes happens. I love the post apocalyptic dystopian feel of Oryx and Crake, the prequel to this book, and look forward to carrying on with this read.

Good Omens - Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman

Do I need to write anything other than both the authors names as a reason to read this book; I love both of their work individually and am really excited to delve into a world created by their heads combined. Along with this book, I am trying to make my way through Terry Pratchett's Discworld series; which will be a feat in itself. Pratchett is one of my favourite authors and I am more than willing to try anything that has been writen by the master himself.

A Storm of Swords - George R. R. Martin

I am slowly making my way through the Song of Ice and Fire series, and sadly I am only on the third book. The first book was amazing, the second was a slog of story and character building that wasn't pretty to read; from what I've been told, that's normal, and the rest of the books get better as you go through them so I am thoroughly excited to get cracking with this series. It may take me till I am 50 but I will finish these even if it kills me.
