Suggest a book for a group read Showing 1,501-1,550 of 1,611

[Rob, Mayor of Ghost Town]

I haven't decided if I'll read or listen to it, but I'll likely pick it up right away.

Are you guys interested in doing a group read? We don't have to do it release day if we want to wait for Ctgt to get his library copy.

[Lindsay]

I'd be in for a group read of that. My February is reasonably busy but I've got a head start on my reading already, so I should be able to squeeze it in.

[Rob, Mayor of Ghost Town]

I'm not hurting for books to read, and if I do audio it'll have to be timed to fit in. I'll probably decide closer to release (2/20) if I want to spend a credit or see about getting the text.

I'm already over budget (I get 24/year and I've used more than the 2/month I'm supposed 3 months into the year) on credits though, so I could stand to listen to a few previously purchased books and/or library books to save credits.

[Lindsay]

Shame to waste an audio credit on such a short book though ...

I haven't looked at page count/audio length. Sometimes short books are pretty cheap to buy w/o a credit.

I'll have to take a look before deciding what to do. I always hate to spend a credit on books shorter than 15 hours though.

[Ctgt]

I'm one of the first on the hold list so it's just a matter of how quickly they receive the book in the library.

[Kat]

Ooooooooh, I'm gonna buy that.

Not sure if I will be finished with my current book in time to join you though, it's a whopper and I'm strapped for reading time.

[Rob, Mayor of Ghost Town]

I'm going to add the book tentatively for 2/20, but we can push it back if need be.

[Rob, Mayor of Ghost Town]

Anyone interested in doing Two Serpents Rise in early/mid March?

[Suzanne]

Sure that would work for me. I'm interested to see what he comes up with next.

[Mark]

Rob wrote: "Anyone interested in doing Two Serpents Rise in early/mid March?"

Yes from me.

[Rob, Mayor of Ghost Town]

Any preference on a specific day to start?

[Suzanne]

March 5 or after - I'm going to Emerald City Comic Con the weekend before.

My friend and I got tickets for the Worldbuilder party again - we get to play a game with Django Wexler this time - yay! I'm glad I finished that last book!

[Rob, Mayor of Ghost Town]

Oh man. I'm super jealous! My buddy lives in Seattle, I should make him go to ECC some year.

[Suzanne]

Yes you should :)

As for Two Serpents Rise - I'm curious about how it feels with continuing world but non-continuing characters. I'm glad we'll read it before I have time to forget the last one.

[Rob, Mayor of Ghost Town]

Two books coming out in April I plan to read. Both are sequels to books we've read.

Grey Sister April 3

Head On April 17

Anyone else planning on reading either book?

[Suzanne]

I'm planning on reading both of those.

[Mark]

grey sister for sure.

[Sky]

Yep Grey Sister as well.

[Lindsay]

I'm planning on Grey Sister and have Lock In queued up on audio for closer to the Head On release.

[Ctgt]

Maybe Grey Sister if I can fit it in.

[Richard]

I am a little behind due to moving house. I plan on reading them, but will be a couple of months away (still have to read Red Sister).

[Kat]

I don't know yet

Can’t join in when you guys read this, it’s not released till may in the uk.

[Rob, Mayor of Ghost Town]

Which? I hate when stuff hasn't different release dates.

[Mark]

Grey sister. Sorry Rob.

[Rob, Mayor of Ghost Town]

Oh, double bummer. Of the two, that's the one I'm looking forward to the most.

Isn't Mark Lawrence British? If anything shouldn't it be coming out in the UK first?

[Suzanne]

Yeah that surprises me its a whole month later!

[Geoff]

I might be in for Head On.

Definite no for Grey Sister. First book didn't draw me in enough to continue on with the series.

[Rob, Mayor of Ghost Town]

New Magic 2.0 book in June! Not sure if it's another audible exclusive again, but I do audio anyways.

Out of Spite, Out of Mind

[Suzanne]

Oh cool - I always do audio too - Luke Daniels does a great job with that series (as with every series).

[Kat]

Last Uhtred? Just saying.

I'm sure we're missing the last of the published ones.

[Rob, Mayor of Ghost Town]

I do need to get back to that. My reading has been awful lately. I've been on the same book for almost a month. Life hasn't been conducive to reading for me lately..

Maybe in late May?

[Suzanne]

Late May would work for me.

[Kat]

I know what you mean, I've been *not* reading a lot lately as well. Am forever stuck on Aztec, which I've been reading on and off since January.

[Suzanne]

Is anyone else reading Wrath of Empire when it comes out next month?

[Rob, Mayor of Ghost Town]

Suzanne wrote: "Is anyone else reading Wrath of Empire when it comes out next month?"

Yes! I'm really looking forward to that one!

Maybe we should change this from the Not a Book Club Club to the Rob and Suzanne do Buddy Reads group. :-P

[Kat]

Rob and Suzanne do Buddy reads while Kat reads completely unrelated stuff and makes cookies group.

Also, I'm up for Uhtred whenever you want.

[Rob, Mayor of Ghost Town]

OK. I'll schedule The Flame Bearer for May 21st. That work for you guys?

Anyone else planning to join us? We used to have a lot more Uhtred readers

[Suzanne]

Lol you just have exceptional taste in books Rob. In my totally non-biased opinion.

[Suzanne]

It'll be good to finally finish that series - 21st sounds fine to me.

And Kat - cookies go with EVERYTHING =)

Is that the end though? I thought someone told me he's writing more. I hope it's the end..

[Suzanne]

Ack - I hope it's the end too - or at least AN end.

[Kat]

In my other group someone said in the Cornwell thread that he said in an interview he was sort of thinking possibly 4 more Uhtreds, but he doesn't plot them in advance so that was a guesstimate.

Me too. I feel like he's dragging it out too much now.

You're cheating on us with another group? Do you give them cookies too? :(

[Kat]

It's the "Ancient & Medieval Historical Fiction" group, and the only thing I read there is the Bernard Cornwell thread.

No cookies are given to strangers or the uninitiated.

I admit to extensive research in the "Around the world in 80 books" group though, in order to find location-specific reads for my various literary trips. I'm doing a "Geographical Europe Trip", a "Tour de France" (all provinces before they changed the provincial borders), and a "South Pacific Cruise". One book per country/province/island. It's great fun! (You can look at my (slow) progress here, but it's in German)

[Ctgt]

I'll be there for Uhtred

[Rob, Mayor of Ghost Town]

Ctgt wrote: "I'll be there for Uhtred"

I'm sure he'll appreciate your support!

[Ctgt]

He'd better, after all I've done for him.

[Kat]

And me. I have battle scars and everything.
