Probably, but then I didn't spend much time doing that last time. I really love Hobb, but not at the level they all seem to.

I'll discuss it here if you want to. I read the threads after I finish each section and yes, that's some deep love. I don't plan on going that in-depth, just discussing my feelings and observations.

I guess we'll see who much interest there is closer to release time. I'm probably good either way.

Richard Eyres (richardeyres) Sins of Empire By Brian McClennan is due for release on 7th March. I really enjoyed his powder mage series and hopefully this will be more of the same.

I will be starting Death of Kings soon, so will be a little behind, but should have caught up with Empty Throne.

I have Arcanum Unbounded: The Cosmere Collection to read as well, so would be up for a group read.

Rob (robzak) | 6375 comments Mod
Oh yeah, I'll be doing The Collapsing Empire as well


message 1307: by Suzanne (new)

Suzanne | 1582 comments From that list, I'm quite interested in:
The End of the Day
The Collapsing Empire
A Conjuring of Light
Wolf Moon

Thanks for the list Christina - I didn't realize the timing on those.

Rob, each of the ones you listed are on my "must reads".


message 1308: by Christina (new)

Christina Pilkington | 126 comments I'd also read the Sanderson collection if anyone else was up for reading it, too.

Rob (robzak) | 6375 comments Mod
I'm in for Sins of Empire too.


message 1310: by Bill (new)

Bill | 1596 comments I'm trying not to start any incomplete series this year. Sins of Empire is going to be my first test to see if I can stick to that.

I'll be sure to talk about how great it is then. :-P


message 1312: by Bill (new)

Bill | 1596 comments Appreciate that. :)

Anyone else interested in Sins of Empire out on March 7th?


message 1314: by Richard (new)

Richard Eyres (richardeyres) I am, but looks like the UK have limited choice in versions (Kindle or Paperback only). Hopefully that will change.


message 1315: by Bill (new)

Bill | 1596 comments Looks great but trying not to start any new series.

I have it pre-ordered. I'm interested, but you know my reading speed these days...

Baby speed!

Who wants to do Going Rogue?

I probably have time for it after Fields of Fire.


message 1320: by Rob, Mayor of Ghost Town (new)

Rob (robzak) | 6375 comments Mod
Hmm. Not getting a lot of interest in anything atm.

What about The Collapsing Empire? It looked like a few people were planning to read that. Whose interested in a group read? It's out on March 21st.


message 1321: by Geoff (new)

Geoff (geoffgreer) I'll be interested in Collapsing Empire.


message 1322: by Lindsay (new)

Lindsay | 546 comments I'm in for Collapsing Empire.


message 1323: by Rob, Mayor of Ghost Town (new)

Rob (robzak) | 6375 comments Mod
Alright, looks like there is enough interest for Collapsing. I'll add it to the calendar.

I'll just do those other 2 on my own.

Yes, but not until after WoT at least.

Ctgt | 629 comments Sumant wrote: "Guys anyone interested in reading Solar cycle by Gene Wolfe."

Me too, depending on timing. I read the first two but never went past that point.


message 1327: by Bill (new)

Bill | 1596 comments I'm in for Solar Cycle. I read the first and started the second but never finished.


message 1328: by Rob, Mayor of Ghost Town (new)

Rob (robzak) | 6375 comments Mod
Anyone for Skullsworn in April (25th)? I believe it's a stand-alone.


message 1329: by Ctgt (new)

Ctgt | 629 comments Maybe, is it set in the same world?


message 1330: by Bill (new)

Bill | 1596 comments It is Pyrre's prequel backstory. She was the assasin character from the trilogy.

Think I'm going to skip it. I just don't care enough about her backstory.


message 1331: by Ctgt (new)

Ctgt | 629 comments Hmmm...Not sure if I will read it since I haven't read any of the trilogy.


message 1332: by Sky (new)

Sky | 1291 comments I'm in with the usual disclaimer. There is a giveaway for the book:

message 1333: by Sky (new)

Sky | 1291 comments Rob, are you starting Sins of Empire? I see my Kindle order came through - waiting till tomorrow to see if they are offering a discount on audio or going to burn an audible credit (seems I should since I am up to 6)


message 1334: by Rob, Mayor of Ghost Town (new)

Rob (robzak) | 6375 comments Mod
No. No one else seemed interested. I'll read it at some point, but I'm not sure when.


message 1335: by Suzanne (new)

Suzanne | 1582 comments I MIGHT be up for Skullsworn, but I'll have to see how I feel in April.

I definitely am up for Sins of Empire. I've just been swamped and haven't checked this thread as much as I should. My reading time is ok, but my computer time is sorely lacking. Anyway, I'm reading the latest VE Schwab book, then thinking about doing the McClellan book after that, unless we get a group read going.

I am not in a super-hurry to start. Apparently I ordered the hardcover, the kindle version, and the audible version, so i better read/listen to it at some point :)

Let me know when you are ready to start and we can do a buddy read if nobody else chimes in to join.


message 1337: by Suzanne (new)

Suzanne | 1582 comments Wow you can switch reading methods every chapter! I'll be done listening to this book in about a week, so I can do McClellan any time after that! VA buddy read sounds good.

Rob (robzak) | 6375 comments Mod
I was thinking of picking up the audio for my trip this weekend. I did the first trilogy on ebook, so I was thinking of doing the same, however audio would be easier. So I may start it after my current book.


message 1339: by Suzanne (new)

Suzanne | 1582 comments I will most likely go audio unless I hate the reader. need to check.


message 1340: by Richard (new)

Richard Eyres (richardeyres) Narrator is the same a the first trilogy. I will be getting to Sins of Empire as soon as possible (need to finish whats on my list first).


message 1341: by Rob, Mayor of Ghost Town (new)

Rob (robzak) | 6375 comments Mod
OK, so sounds like there may be interest in a group read after all?

Sky since you have all the versions, are you willing to make the discussion threads?


message 1342: by Sumant (new)

Sumant | 522 comments Guys anyone interested in reading The Gunslinger


message 1343: by Rob, Mayor of Ghost Town (new)

Rob (robzak) | 6375 comments Mod
I love that series, but I won't be reading it again for awhile. If jump on the discussion though.


message 1344: by Suzanne (new)

Suzanne | 1582 comments I tried reading it awhile back and just couldn't get into it. I'm going to check out the upcoming show though! That's probably blasphemy to do it that way, but I just have a hard time reading King - and Gaiman! I should turn in my reader badge.


message 1345: by Sumant (new)

Sumant | 522 comments @Suzanne I too couldn't get into it initially but then I found podcast for dark tower which gave me some spoiler free insight into the book which aroused my interest in the book again.


message 1346: by Suzanne (new)

Suzanne | 1582 comments Oh nice - I hope that helps! For one thing, I'd love to read your review of it - I always like how you list the things you do and don't like about a book.


message 1347: by Bill (new)

Bill | 1596 comments I just finished dark tower a little over a year ago and am not ready for a reread. Really enjoyed the series. I found myself randomly thinking about the ending for months after. The comics are pretty good as well.


message 1348: by Rob, Mayor of Ghost Town (new)

Rob (robzak) | 6375 comments Mod
I still need to read the comics


message 1349: by Suzanne (new)

Suzanne | 1582 comments I'm somewhat interested in Skullsworn later next month, and more interested in Red Sister - which is a new trilogy - I'm pretty sure it is unrelated to Lawrence's previous world.

I'm also going to read City of Miracles when it comes out in early May. Another one I want to check out is Sleeping Giants - i got it on a kindle sale and its sequel is coming out soon.

I need to catch up on that Drew Hayes series Rob - I'm glad you've still been reading it!


message 1350: by Rob, Mayor of Ghost Town (new)

Rob (robzak) | 6375 comments Mod
I still havent read any Mark Lawrence. I own Prince of Thorns, but I haven't been in the mood for grimdark in sometime so I've been avoiding it.

If that book is unrelated to his previous world (and maybe less grimdark) I'd be interested in checking it out.

I'm definitely in for City of Miracles

I might be interested in Sleeping Giants
