YA Series Challenge

Hi guys *waves*! I hope you all had an AWESOME New Years :) I actually spent my NYE down in Mexico, it was tons of fun! But now I'm back and ready to get back on track!

I am pleased to annouce that this year I've decided to participate in the YA Series Challenge hosted by Shannon of Stalking the Bookshelves. Since I already have a ton of series on my to-be-read pile, this challenge was practically screaming my name :) Officially this is my second challenge ever. I'm a fairly new blogger so I'm still new to the whole "book challenge" world, but I am very eager to get started.

If you would like to sign up, read about the guidelines and/or prizes in this challenge, please click here.

My Level: 
Level 6-Addicted and Loving It 
23-30 Books

Series I plan to read:
(Not in any particular order)
The Iron Fey series by Julie Kagawa
PUCK! Need I say more? :) haha! I've already read the first book, The Iron King (Which I LOVED!) but I'll be counting the other two towards this challenge. 

Looking forward to- I want to get to know Ash a little better. I need to know why everyone's so in love with him. (I'm not judging, I'm a HOPELESS romantic at heart!)
Books in series-
1. The Iron King
2. The Iron Daughter
3. The Iron Queen


The Wolves of Mercy fall series by Maggie Stiefvater
I actually saw this book during my last trip to B&N, and after I read the synopsis, (wolves, forbidden love and snow?... um, yes please!) I was very much intrigued. I can't wait to dig in ;)

Looking forward to- Just looking to get started as soon as possible :)
Books in series-
1. Shiver
2. Linger
3. Forever



Vampire Academy series by Richelle Mead
I cannot keep putting this series aside any longer! I have heard nothing but fabulous things about this fresh and intriguing new world of vampires.

Looking forward to- I can't wait to finally meet Dimitri and Adrien... I want to see what all the fuss is about ;)
Books in series-
1. Vampire Academy
2. Frostbite
3. Shadow Kiss
4. Blood Promise
5. Spirit Bound
6. Last Sacrifice

The Darkest Power series by Kelley Armstrong
I was actually fortunate enough to meet Kelly Armstrong last year at the "Smart Chicks Kick It" tour. She is hilarious and such an awesome gal, I promised myself I would pick up her series. From other blogger reviews that I've read, I don't think I'll be dissapointed.

Looking forward to- Meeting Derek and Simon ;)
Books in series-
1. The Summoning
2. The Awakening
3. The Reckoning


The Dream Catchers series by Lisa Mcmann
This series came recommended by a close friend. She and I typically tend to fall in love with the same books, so i thought I'd give it a try. Plus, the story follows a 17 year old girl who gets sucked into peoples dreams... very very interesting!

Looking forward to- My friend will not shut up about Cabel. I've heard so many swoon-worthy things about him, I seriously think I might just bump this series to the top of my pile just so I can finally meet him!
Books in series-
1. Wake
2. Fade
3. Gone

Wonderous Strange series by Lesley Livingston
I came across thins series by accident on goodreads. The reviews and the ratings were awesome!  Plus, I'm a big faerie fan!

Looking forward to- starting a new series that has to do with Fey :)
Books in series-
1. Wondrous Strange
2. Darklight
3. Tempestuous


The Mortal Instruments series by Cassandra Clare
Uh, vampires, werewolves, demons, angels and hunters? Need I say more? This series sounds AWESOME!

Looking forward to- OMG! I can't wait to finally read about the mysterious new world that Mrs. Clare has created. I've read nothing but kick ass reviews for this series, plus I hear there's a certain boy in this book who's swoon worthy material ;) haha! (Don't judge.... hopeless romantic here, remember?!)
Books in series-
1. City of Bones
2. City of Ashes
3. City of Glass
4. City of Fallen Angels


Hush, Hush series by Becca Fitzpatick
Patch! I loved him in book one and I can't wait to see what adventures Mrs. Fitzpatrick has for us in books 2 and 3.  Like the Iron King, I have already read book 1 in this series thus it will not count towards this challenege.

Looking forward to-  reading more about Patch and Nora's relationship and learning all I can about the Arc/rogue angels. Book one left me with many questions and I NEED answers!
Books in series-
1. Hush, Hush
2. Crescendo
3. Tempest


The House of Night series by PC Cast
The Cast's have made a fan out of me! I just recently finished reading book one, Marked (will also not count towards challenge) and I can't wait to read what happens with Zoey and the nerd heard.

Looking forward to- although there are a lot of books in this series, I plan to read each one. I hear the Cast's are aiming at 12 books? Well as long as they keep the story flowing, I will accompany them on their journey :)
Books in series-
1. Marked
2. Betrayed
3. Chosen
4. Untamed
5. Hunted
6. Tempted
7. Burned
8. Awakened


Well this is my list, for now. I have a total of  33 books so that throws me on the category of "Addicted and Loving it".... I'll let you in on a little secret, I really am LOVING it! I think they should add a new level, something like "Books are your drugs".... cause that's certainly the case for me :) haha!

If you're also signing up for this challenge, let me know what books you're planning on reading or feel free to leave your links down below. I'll be sure to drop by ;) but until then, Happy Reading!
