I always wanted to read his books as I have a lot of friends who were heartbroken when he passed away and as soon as I saw that this one was available at NetGalley, I requested it.
I had a lot of reservations because it was the last one in this epic series, but when I read it, it felt like I wasn't missing out on anything. He wrote them quite smartly... though I read about Tiffany Aching for the first time I still ended up loving her and her country.

And yeah, this series is quite big (40 something.) But there is a sub-series on Tiffany Aching only 5 books (the last 5 books.) So I think, I'll read this sub-series first.

Ended the year on an excellent note with the last book by Sir Terry Pratchett: The Shepherd's Crown - 5/5... what a beautiful story! This was my first book but I've already fallen in love with the Discworld!

@Steve and @Dagny... Yay! It'll be awesome... we guys simply rock when it is the mystery month! Earlier I was planning on having a year long mystery challenge (even collected 10 sub-genres for it) but then I my second thoughts came in the way... maybe next year. What do you guys think?

Thanks, Dagny. All the best to you too, though I see that you're going with Level-2 for this month.
Can't wait for the Mystery Thriller month... heheh!

Hello all the book nerds of RMFAO... First of all Happy New Year to all of you. Welcome to the first month of our much-loved Genre Challenge!
This month's genres are Science-Fiction + New Adult. You can either do any one of these genres or both of them. It's entirely up to you. If a book even remotely comes under the sub-genre of these genres then it can be included.
There are absolutely no limitations.

Here are the various levels for this Challenge:
Level 1: Casual Reader: 1 book (easy)
Level 2: Frequent Reader: 2 books (moderate)
Level 3: Bookworm: 3 books (mildly strenuous)
Level 4: Bibliophile: 4 books (strenuous)
Level 5: Bookiopath: 5 books or more (challenging)

As decided earlier, I'll be defining the genres for each month making is easy for everyone to decide their reads, so here goes genres for this month:

Science-Fiction: (abbreviated as SF or sci-fi) Science fiction is a genre of fiction in which the stories often tell about science and technology of the future. It is important to note that science fiction has a relationship with the principles of science—these stories involve partially true- partially fictitious laws or theories of science.
It is a genre of speculative fiction dealing with imaginative concepts such as futuristic settings, futuristic science, and technology, space travel, time travel, faster than light travel, parallel universes, and extraterrestrial life.And is also called as "literature of ideas".

New-Adult: (abbreviated as NA.) New Adult fiction bridges the gap between Young Adult and Adult genres. It typically features protagonists between the ages of 18 and 30.
A lot of people think that NA is a little less sexed up erotica, but this is a WRONG belief. NA is just like YA but with slightly older leads.

Please go ahead and announce your January reads along with the level you are targeting for.

Happy reading!

We all buy a lot of books but more than half of the time the books end up sitting unread on our shelves. But not anymore... gear up to read each and every book on your bookshelf in order to clear your conscience :)

PS: Take a pic of your shelf and post it below... It'll be great to be able to see each other's bookshelves.

We all start reading series but quite a lot of times we are not able to finish those series. This challenge will give you an opportunity to complete those series. You can start with a fresh series as well (but it'll be counted only if you finish them.)

There are absolutely no rules for this challenge. All you have to do is complete as many series as you can.

We can use this discussion board to discuss the series we are planning to read.

I forgot to add this one (it was the second one I read this month after No Rest For The Wicked) so I have 6 so far,
