1 & 2) "Lirael" and "Abhorsen" which arefinal two books of the Old Kingdom series by Garth Nix: http://oldkingdom.com.au/. Pretty good young adult fantasy series withan interesting approach to magic and Life/Death. There's a prequel I'll probably tackle at some point.
3 & 4) Finished up the 1st Percy Jackson series reading books 4 and 5. Nice fantasy series (based on Greek Mythology) for young readers and this adult enjoyed them as well. It's a goodseries for parents to read as a way to connect with their kids. Looking forward to watching the movie(s) at some point.
5 & 6) "Gathering Blue" and "Messenger" which are the middle books of Lois Lowry's "The Giver" quartet. While I wasn't as high on the "The Giver" as most people were I wantedto continue the series because I did enjoy it and I had hopes of getting some more answers. I did get some satisfyinganswers but still felt like there is a lot of interesting story she's leaving on the table. Hope to finish the seriesby reading "Son" this week.
Will try and tackle an adult series next. Thought about the Stormlight Archive or KingskillerChronicle but I'm loath to start another unfinished series. ASOIAF has scarred me.
Currently reading the very enjoyable "41" by Bush 43.
