This weeks Top 5 Saturday is focused on books to read whilst stuck inside/quarantining, so I decided to spotlight some awesome series to dig your teeth into. All these series are finished, have chunky books, and will keep you entertained whilst stuck inside. Some have swoon worthy romances, swashbuckling adventures, and they all have a fantastic group of characters that you will absolutely fall in love with.
Thanks to Mandy over at Devouring books for creating these amazing prompts! You should definitely go check her blog out because she posts some great content.
Mistborn Trilogy
This series may only have 3 books but they are the chunkiest of books! A true epic fantasy series, with an amazing bunch of characters and a story line that has you flying through the many, many pages.
Throne of Glass
This series has 7 books… 7! This is definitely a series to see you through self isolation. Bad ass female lead, swoon worthy male Fae, and a rag tag bunch of character that you can’t help but love. One warning though, be prepared for the feels… all the feels.
Vampire Academy
Vampires are back right? So why not dive in to this long series with 6 books! Another kick ass female lead and a totally swoon worthy romance that will give you all the feels… i’m seeing a theme here.
Greatcoats series
If you’re looking for something epic, hilarious, with a bunch of characters that I defy you not to fall in love with, but minus the heavy romance then this is the one for you. I know his Spellslinger series gets all the love but trust me, this one knocked it out of the park.
The Dark Artifices.
Again only three books but they are huge! Yes the Mortal Instruments is a longer series but this is sooo much better. Plus if you love it there are three other series currently finished set in the same world so bonus!
Great list! I only haven’t read Traitor’s blade, but I really want to!

I always get confused. Which one is throne of glass again… no wait. I’m thinking of court of thorn and Rose’s. That isn’t the same as TOG right?

You should read the Greatcoats though. There’s a little romance but it’s minor compared to the main plot & I think you will love the main characters

Great series recs! I loved Mistborn (they really are the chunkiest!), ToG and The Dark Artifices series (still have to read the last book for both series though LOL) 😀 I’ve heard a lot about Vampire Academy and I’m definitely curious!

How have you not finished those series! You have waaaay more self control than I do. Vampire Academy is really underrated in my opinion, and the follow on series Bloodlines is just as good.
