The Thief Who Knocked on Sorrow's Gate

I just finished these first three books, and boy, after that ending I'm reeling. Excited to start book four.

The Sentinel

[The Joy of Erudition]

Warrior Witch of Hel

Pretty awesome trilogy. Enjoyed all three. I read somewhere the author plans to write more set in the same world.

C Dean Andersson (Asa Drake) has been teasing us fans with more Bloodsong for many years. Had an in-depth interview with him about his writing when his Bloodsong! — Hel X 3 eBook came out: http://www.selindberg.com/2014/03/c-d...

[The Joy of Erudition]

I'll check out the interview. I specifically chose to read the Asa Drake version because there seemed to be significant differences between it and the ebook version under his real name, but I'll probably read the revised version too, later.

Getting sucked into the options for the next groupread.
The Sleeping City caught my attention...so I had to read it. Review here: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

May switch my vote to another! lol.... I am already reading Clifford Ball's Duar the Accursed....

Transhuman and Subhuman: Essays on Science Fiction and Awful Truth by John C. Wright

[The Joy of Erudition]

I finished Adept's Gambit, and thought it was definitely one of the best Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser stories I've read so far (in publication order), even though it was set on a pseudo-historical Earth instead of Nehwon.

[Joseph, Master Ultan]

Finished The Last Hieroglyph and started L. Sprague de Camp's Lost Continents, which is non-fiction but it's mostly about Atlantis, where an awful lot of S&S fiction has taken place.

A Middle-earth Traveller: Sketches from Bag End to Mordor by John Howe

[Mary]

Stone of Inheritance by Melissa McShane

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

Ok, the last groupread poll got me side tracked. In any event, I had to go read The Thief of Forthe and Other Stories because someone had it as an option.

Pretty interesting. There are only 3 tales of S&S in this set of 6.... but I swear they probably influenced Wagner and Leiber. Was curious if anyone knew about how Clifford Ball (who wrote for Weird Tales ~1937 after REH passed).

Fans of Fafrhd and the Gray Mouser? Would love to hear your thoughts on Rald and Thwaine.

A great book I just read for the first time in 2018, too! If you wonder about certain loose ends, be assured they're wrapped up in book 3.

I wait with bated - or is that baited? - breath.

[Richard]

I believe bated is correct. But Uncle Google and Wikipedia say both ways are correct.

I've recently seen a lot of folks praising Tim Powers lately so I found this audio book from the library. Slow to grab my attention but it's shaping up nicely.

On Stranger Tides

Bated.

Baited breath is what the mythical panther has.

Renegade Swords. My first DMR book, and based upon the quality so far, not my last.

A Gathering of Ravens by Scott Oden

Norse mythology versus Christianity. Terrific so far.

[Michael]

I just started Scott Oden's "Twilight of the Gods" for the Group Read. So far the first chapter was somewhat reminiscent of the beginning to the Robert E Howard Conan story "Frost Giant's Daughter". It also reminds me of the beginning to "The Talisman" by Sir Walter Scott in that it starts with a duel in a sense. The openings of both of these stories are two of my favorite openings to any swashbuckling story.
