I tried to read lots of popular series while pregnant with my son. I’m working on building a little stash of quality reads for the kids when they get older! Percy Jackson sits on my shelf pleading with me but he’ll have to wait, I’ve got my hands ful...

Eragon (The Inheritance Cycle)

I’m definitely drawn to all things dragon so I’ll list my recs here as I find them. As a mom I don’t have much time to read but I love a good story!

Dragons (hell yeah) Extremely entertaining and well written series
Eragon (Inheritance Cycle #1) by Christopher Paolini, Paperback
 
Michaela Griffin profile picture
Book 3 of the series :)
Brisingr (Inheritance Cycle #3)|Paperback
 
Michaela Griffin profile picture
Christopher is a phenomenal writer and I was pumped with how this entire series went. I will also link the his smaller works associated with this world :)
Inheritance (Inheritance Cycle #4)|Paperback
 
Michaela Griffin profile picture
This is a great add if you’re an avid collector of your favorite series and need all things Eragon! It might also help your kids get into the initial book (not that I feel they’d need help with that! It’s a great series.)
Eragon: The Illustrated Edition|Hardcover
 
Michaela Griffin profile picture
When I tell you I was so excited to see Chris add to the series RIGHT as I was finishing reading through for the first time 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 He says he’s going to be writing more in this world too, so we’ll keep an eye out!!
Murtagh: The World of Eragon (B&N Exclusive Edition)|BN Exclusive
 
Michaela Griffin profile picture
I’m adding the delux edition as well because it’s absolutely gorgeous!
Murtagh: Deluxe Edition: The World of Eragon|Hardcover
 
Michaela Griffin profile picture
This book is easily read through compared to the series books themselves. It’s very small and gives a different perspective. I believe I read it after the fourth book and before Murtagh
The Fork, the Witch, and the Worm: Tales from Alagaësia (Volume 1: Eragon)|Hardcover
 
Michaela Griffin profile picture
If you prefer to buy your series all at once in a nice orderly set, here’s all of the books minus the smaller side story he wrote. :)
World of Eragon 5-Book Paperback Boxed Set: Eragon; Eldest; Brisingr; Inheritance; Murtagh|Paperback
 
Michaela Griffin profile picture
This is the hardcopy set but it doesn’t include Murtagh or the side story book so keep that in mind when collecting!
The Inheritance Cycle 4-Book Hard Cover Boxed Set (Eragon, Eldest, Brisingr, Inheritance)|Hardcover
 
Michaela Griffin profile picture
Second book in the Inheritance cycle, I love this series so I’ll be linking all of the books for convenience. :)
Eldest (Inheritance Cycle #2)|Paperback

Fourth Wing Series 🐉

Oh you already know it! This series gets as much hate as it does love but I’m a SUCKER for dragons and a lil bit of smut 🫣🥳

Onyx Storm (Wing and Claw Collection)|Special

Hank-freaking-Green

You probably know his brother John Green. Hank is the science guy! Maybe you've seen his videos on youtube, tik tok, instagram and facebook! I really love Hank I think it's a great quality to be knowledgeable so when I saw him promote his own book I ...

 
Michaela Griffin profile picture
When I say I’m obsessed with this book. An alien robot puzzling mystery?? Written by a man from a woman’s perspective and he didn’t botch it?? We love you Hank Green
An Absolutely Remarkable Thing|Paperback
 
Michaela Griffin profile picture
The second book. These are my prized possessions and when I find a friend in the wild who has read them too, BINGO instant friend for life. 🙏🏼
A Beautifully Foolish Endeavor: A Novel|Paperback

Not Even Bones!

I started this series on Webtoon but wanted MORE so I bought the books! It's a very easy read, really entertaining but I will warn it has themes of human trafficking so if that bothers you I wouldn't recommend it. 

 
Michaela Griffin profile picture
Ugh this series had me in a chokehold. I originally found it as a webtoon rendition and found out it was an actual series I could physically own. I had to have it. I'll link the other two books!
Not Even Bones (Market of Monsters Series #1)|Paperback
 
Michaela Griffin profile picture

Only Ashes Remain|Paperback

LOVE when I find a series that I can read all the way through.
When Villains Rise|Paperback

Stephanie Meyer (Judge me okay)

I feel like reading and experiencing Twilight is a right of passage into life. (Or maybe that's the millennial in me talking). I did end up reading The Host after the fact and honestly loved it way more than Twilight. It was just a more interesting r... 

 
Michaela Griffin profile picture
You've probably seen the movie from forever ago. Trust me, it's trash compared to the book!!
The Host with Bonus Chapter|Paperback
 
Michaela Griffin profile picture
Okay listen the movies are hilarious for sure but the books weren't actually that bad guys I promise. I read these in high school as they were coming out and was obsessedddd
Twilight|Paperback
 
New Moon|Paperback
 
Eclipse|Paperback
 
Breaking Dawn|Paperback

Hunger Games !!

Want to read a series that feels a little too close to home?? Yeah, hello Hunger Games! As someone that delved into this series a decade ago it really tickles me seeing that more books are coming out now to continue the story. 

 
Michaela Griffin profile picture
Another rec that I read in my teens that dragged me in so deep and then DESTROYED ME emotionally.
The Hunger Games (Hunger Games Series #1)|Paperback
 
Michaela Griffin profile picture
It's okay, you don't like having feelings anyways

ACOTAR

Smut and fairies!? Sign me up 💳💵💥 don’t worry I’d say it’s lightly naughty, not the worst out there. Tasteful if you will.
 
Michaela Griffin profile picture
Okay I’m a sucker for dragons but I did give the fae a chance and they blessed my imagination. The ACOTAR series was an easy, fun read!
A Court of Thorns and Roses (A Court of Thorns and Roses Series #1)|Paperback
 
Michaela Griffin profile picture
Book 2 of ACOTAR. Am I a fairy person now? Do I suddenly like a dark brooding man interrupting the story?? Hmmmm
A Court of Mist and Fury (A Court of Thorns and Roses Series #2)|Paperback
 
Michaela Griffin profile picture
You might as well buckle in because you’ve made it this far into ACOTAR and there’s no going back now. You’ll be stuck with the rest of us wondering how we’ll be able to collect all Sarah’s beautiful series and still afford rent. Maybe we should get ...
A Court of Wings and Ruin (A Court of Thorns and Roses Series #3)|Paperback
 
Michaela Griffin profile picture
So this book is slightly separate from the “order” of the books and I believe you can read it whenever you want. Id look up common read orders! That’s what I did :) If I remember correctly it was also slightly smaller than the other books.
A Court of Frost and Starlight (A Court of Thorns and Roses Series)|Paperback
 
Michaela Griffin profile picture
The last book in the series!! Book 4! By now you’re obsessed with the gang, I hope you’ve fully immersed yourself into the world and started drooling over Sarah’s other series. Do you ever wonder if she made a deal with the fae and that’s why her boo...
