Blood Cast by Jonathan Moeller

[Robin]

A year late for the Leiber group read and a week early for the Appendix N one, but I've been rereading some of the Lankhmar stories. It's been a couple decades since I read them originally, and they still hold up great. If anything, I think I get more out of them now than I did as a teenager.

I think "Bazaar of the Bizarre" is maybe the single best sword & sorcery story of all time.

My reviews for the first two volumes:
Swords and Deviltry
Swords Against Death

[S.E., Gray Mouser (Emeritus)]

Phil, best follow thru on a group read ever! Wonderful reviews!

I agree entirely: 'Bazaar of the Bizarre' was the first Leiber s&s I ever read, so many years ago, and it's still my favourite. Archetypal Leiber.

Nah, I'm Chaotic Neutral, I'm using bare hands and drinking coffee while reading them."

I am about 1/3 of the way into Kings of Paradise on my Kindle and I am starting King of Thorns audiobook for my long commutes to/from work.

By Ways Unseen by Daniel Dydek

I mentioned this in the modern S&S group-read thread, but I started Shadow's Son by Jon Sprunk.

I've seen that book pop up in my feed quite a bit lately. Curious to know what you think about it."

Here's my review of The Grey Bastards if you're interested.

[Joseph, Master Ultan]

Was on vacation and finished all three of Jon Sprunk's Shadow books (Shadow's Son, Shadow's Lure and Shadow's Master), which I quite enjoyed, and, in a fit of possibly misplaced nostalgia, started reading the very first D&D Forgotten Realms novel, Darkwalker on Moonshae by Douglas Niles.

[S.E., Gray Mouser (Emeritus)]

I needed a dose of body-horror and weird fiction, and read The Beauty. This edition comes with a bonus story, which is less exciting for me... but the primary tale rocks.

[Mary]

The Ginger Star byLeigh Brackett

[Joseph, Master Ultan]

I wrapped up Darkwalker on Moonshae and am moving on to Black Wizards. They're obviously not Appendix N, but they're official D&D novels, so if you kind of squint?

Good Deeds Gone Unpunished by Rich Burlew

[Richard]

Mary you are a reading machine. Bravo.

[Mary]

Thank you. A lot of practice helps.

[Periklis, Fafhrd (Emeritus)]

I've been reading almost exclusively Warhammer 40k books since november '17, as I've been wanting to reach the end of the Horus Heresy series by the day the last book (approximately vol. 60+...!) is published. Currently reading "Deliverance Lost" (vol. 17) with a goal to reach vol. 25 by the end of the year. On a side note, the w40k audio dramas are really addictive and very well produced....

[Mary]

I'd recommend Ciaiphas Cain before Horus Heresy.

[Joseph, Master Ultan]

Finished Black Wizards and started Darkwell, the third in Douglas Niles' Moonshae trilogy. When I'm finished with that, it'll be time for something most emphatically not a D&D novel.

Wreckers Gate (Immortality and Chaos)

Been looking forward to reading Eric T Knight for awhile.

Wrecker's Gate was pretty good.

Jack, those both count for groupreads! Sullivan is “new” and Kane...well Kane will have a folder in 3weeks.

Looks like you liked Riyia.

[Joseph, Master Ultan]

Finished Darkwell and started Fonda Lee's Jade City, which I don't believe will be S&S, but which I do believe will be quite excellent.

[Joseph, Master Ultan]

And not necessarily things that I'll be reading cover-to-cover, but Amazon is shipping me

Swordfighting, for Writers, Game Designers and Martial Artists

Mastering the Art of Arms, vol 1: The Medieval Dagger

The Medieval Longsword

Advanced Longsword: Form and Function

All by Guy Windsor, who just had an interview on Robert Zoltan's Literary Wonder & Adventure Show podcast (although I'd ordered the books before listening to the podcast).

He (Guy) also has a website (www.guywindsor.com) with blog posts & videos that might be of interest in these parts ...

Just picked up my '80's copy of Knights of Wonder. I plan to read Gonji: Dark Ventures afterwards.

@Joseph, is that an electronic book haul? Lol. Must have had a gift card or something. Else, the Guy Windsor interview had to be very compelling!

@Richard, looking forward to your review on Gonji!

I've always heard good things about Gemmell. I've only had the pleasure of reading the first three books in the Waylander series. He never seemed to get the same acclaim as other big name authors. He has quite the catalog.

No, for stuff like this I prefer hard copies. And I actually ordered the books before I realized he was being interviewed -- they turned up in my Amazon recommendations for whatever reason. What can I say? I have poor impulse control ...

[Al]

I really like his stuff. People who like their fantasy with a grittier edge tend to point him out as a big influence. I've read a chunk of his books, and I've yet to read one that sucks.

[Jarod]

“A March of Woe” the third book in the Overthrown series by Aaron Bunce.

[Joseph, Master Ultan]

Finished Jade City and started The Poppy War -- neither are S&S, but there's much to recommend in both of them.
