Heena’s comments from the RMFAO (Reading My Frigging A** Off) group.

Hey Manas, welcome to RMFAO.
We love talking about books and exchanging recommendations. Do let us know what kind of book you're looking for here: Find Me A Book
I'm sure you'll end up finding a couple extra (which is always better!)
Do check out our reading challenges as well, we have quite a few and everyone loves them because they help us read a lot of new and exciting books each year.
Have fun.

Finished reading my 3rd book - A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms - 5/5
This was an illustrated compilation of 3 short stories by GRRM - The Hedge Knight, The Sworn Sword and The Mystery Night - the first 3 parts of an ongoing series, The Tales of Dunk and Egg.
It was a beautiful book and I loved it so much that I feel like reading it again!
A must-read for fantasy and ASOIAF lovers.

Awesome. I got the book too (as my bday present last week.) It does look good!!
Even I'll be starting on 5th. :)

I was a 90s kid but I have a special place for the 80s, just like the 90s :) I miss wearing scrunchies... :D

And same here, even I'm not from USA. I'm glad you're joining us!!

I love island stories. This one does fit adventure perfectly by the sound of it.

It's a big commitment, but one I'd be willing to make as I really need to be done with this series. Let's try and do it, Dagny.

Have a suggestion for the group or have a new idea for a reading challenge or buddy read? Feel free to share your thoughts here.

At RMFAO we love giving and receiving book recommendations and never hesitate to suggest something new to our fellow readers. But sometimes we need more than casual recommendations and have some specific details that we're looking for in a book. This is exactly what this thread is for. Just post your request here and anyone, who knows a book or books matching your request will reply back and help you.

Please note - Any member can post here and or answer a request. So don't hesitate to use this thread anytime you want to read something new.

Hello, Spandana. Welcome to RMFAO!

I'm obsessed with journaling as well (currently preparing my 2018 BuJo.) All the best for your exams!
Do participate in 2018 reading challenges (we have quite a few), it'll help you discover some really great books and authors.
Have fun!

Wow... Thanks a ton, Dagny, these are some really great recs. :)

I'm going to go for the audiobook of Frankenstein by Mary Shelley, so as you said, it'll be a triple play. I'm going with this because a) I've never read anything on Frankenstien and b) because it is not very long.

I read War Of The Worlds for the first year fo this challenge on your suggestion and loved it! So I might read one his from this list, though I might read it in some other month as January is already looking quite full. The Island of Dr. Moreau looks like my kind of book, so I'm adding it to my TBR.

I can barely read Jules Verne's writing (though I do like the movies with The Rock in them ;) ) so I'm going to skip his books.
Other than the 2 I mentioned above, I'm quite interested in The Lost World Series and The Forgotten Planet by Murray Leinster.

It's going to be a great start to 2018 with these awesome reads! Thanks again, Classics Prof. Dagny, you're the best :)

Yep, Inferno was a good read. It was a fast-paced read and quite informative too. Though I liked the Lost-Symbol better. It was quite dramatic and the puzzles were good.
I'm yet to read Origin and Angels and Demons, so even I might add the Langdon series for the series challenge.

"Thank you, m'lord," Dunk said before he could go. "M'lord, has the king come?"
A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms by George R.R. Martin

4 is as difficult as 5, so all the very best, Dagny!

I'm going to go for Level-1 but I'll try to get to 2.

No worries. I'll look forward to your suggestions (esp. the LibriVox ones :))

Hey Amanda, I'm the one who sent the invite (I sent it to my entire friend list.)
I'm glad you joined us. We all love discussing books and sharing recommendations. So welcome aboard. Hope you enjoy taking part in the challenges and the buddy reads :)

Hi Riju, welcome to RMFAO!

I'm going to go for Level-3 - 3 series. And one of them is going to be Vampire Academy. I've read all the books in this series except the last one.
Also, I'll try to get the last 2 released parts of Cliffton Chronicles by Jeffrey Archer.

Cheryl wrote: "Oh, you bet I'm in! This challenge has introduced me to books I'd never have read on my own. It's great to mix things up a bit, so I don't get into a reading rut."

Great to have you onboard!!

We're gonna have a great year ahead in terms of reading and book discussions!

RMFAO is already a better place with mods like you and Dagny! We're lucky to have you both!! :)
