I'm finishing Throne of Glass series by Sarah J. Maas and had every intention of reading ACOTAR next but found out it is unfinished and I have trouble pausing and going back. So, I need some (finished) series to read in the meantime.
I have always loved a good YA or NA series but I am willing to read others. My favorite books are Delirium, The Hunger Games, The Uglies, The Host (not a series but still), Harry Potter, and Outlander. I'll throw Throne of Glass and Crescent City up there too now.
I'm female, turning 30 in May (Taurus), and open to just about anything. I love to binge read.
I mostly listen to audiobooks because I am on the go a lot so I'd be even happier with suggestions that are also on Audible (with a good narrator).

Red Rising, by Pierce Brown
*Ninth House* series is a popular modern era magical realism series that features a woman who is learning about secret societies and supernatural forces within an ivy-league collegiate environment.
*Witchmark* by CL Polk is the start of a very sweet series that is magical realism and a very cozy read. Feels a little like a Harry Potter vibe but for adults. It’s also the start of a series so if you like it you can keep diving in.
*Every Heart a Doorway* by Seanan McGuire starts a YA series about supernaturally gifted children who have “disappeared” from their real lives. The sequels follow various characters deeper into their backstories and experiences of how they became who they are.
*Daughter of Smoke & Bone* by Laini Taylor features really enjoyable creative worldbuilding disguised as a Romeo and Juliet trope. The last third of the book especially is full of interesting development and really cool imagery about a war between angelic beings and chimera creatures
*Atlas Six* is a sneaky Dark Academia book. You get comfortable that it’s filled with the standard tropes only to have it reveal itself as a carefully planned trap.
*The Bone Shard Daughter* by Andrea Stewart features a cool fantasy setting inspired by Polynesian Islands/Asian mythology, interesting plot twists and cliffhanger chapter endings, and some very kick ass (but imperfect) characters. I really thought the magic system and looming dread of the setting was very satisfying
*Six Of Crows* by Leigh Bardugo is the first of a popular duology that features a ragtag band of thugs who aim to complete the next big heist. Some good cinematic adventure moments and reliable writing, currently part of a new Netflix show called Shadow and Bone.
*The First Sister* is a sci-fi/fantasy series that follows three characters and their interlocking storylines. It’s a seemingly paint by numbers sci-fi book, but has an excellent last third which won me over. Easily written and enjoyable. The series is complete now and expands the universe in dramatic fashion.
A Deadly Education trilogy by Naomi Novik is a recent, complete trilogy, really fun with lots of twists. It has some inspiration in Harry Potter, being a book set at a magic school, but is its own thing.
