Suggest a book for a group read Showing 251-300 of 1,611

[Rob, Mayor of Ghost Town]

I might be. I want to try the Stephen Fry version of the audio books. I think I have someone I can borrow them from.

I really liked the Jim Dale ones though. It would be interesting to compare the two.

[Dara]

I'm always up for Harry Potter. I've been reading the Tor HP reread posts so now I kind of wanna do if too.

[Ctgt]

I'm game for a HP reread.

[Sumant]

I'm missing Hogwarts.

Although i have read the the whole series twice, but i am still in :D.

[Linette]

I might join your HP reread.

[Bill]

I'm in for HP reread. Can we do Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them and Quidditch Through the Ages also? I have both but havn't got around to them yet. I think they are both around 50 pages.

Also does the Lord of the Rings read include The Hobbit?

[Rob, Mayor of Ghost Town]

I have that audio book too, so I would consider it. But S&L read that 12/12 so I've read that more recently than LotR books which I haven't done since college.

[Suzanne]

I'd join in a HP re-read also - it has been awhile since I've read them.

[Rob, Mayor of Ghost Town]

You can if you want to, but I won't be able to make a real commitment until late summer/early fall most likely.

[Rob, Mayor of Ghost Town]

Both. I'm tied up for months right now apart from what's already on the club's schedule. Plus we're supposed to do a LotR re-read at some point too.

But if you all find a time a works for you, go for it. I just re-read it not too long ago so if I miss out It's not a big deal. I can make a section for it and add the books with whatever dates you decide on.

[Dara]

I vote September 1st as well. Great suggestion, Alex!

[Rob, Mayor of Ghost Town]

Hmm. I missed your Sept 1st suggestion. That's probably good for me too actually. I'll just work the LotR read around that and whatever else may be coming out this fall.

[Suzanne]

September 1st sounds great! I need to quit my job and just read...if only.

[Sumant]

Hmm. I missed your Sept 1st suggestion. That's probably good for me too actually. I'll just work the LotR read around that and whatever else may be coming out this fall.

The coming months are going to be great LOTR plus HP yay!!, also I am loving Way of kings I think it is one of the best books I have read so far.

[Rob, Mayor of Ghost Town]

Alright. I'll add Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone for Sept 1. Are people wanting to read them all back to back. If so, how much time for each?

1 week each for 1&2, 2 weeks each for the rest?

[Bill]

I think that makes sense. The first two are very quick reads.

[Dara]

That sounds good. I fly through HP. Can't put them down.

[Dara]

Is anyone else reading Half a King when it comes out? Release date is July 15.

[Rob, Mayor of Ghost Town]

I'll be reading it, but probably not when it comes out.

Won't know until it gets closer.

[Bill]

I hope to if nothing else comes up.

[Jake]

I'd be down.

[Dara]

Do you guys want to discuss it here?

[[deleted user]]

I'm definitely in on Half a King.

[Dara]

Excellent! I'm pretty excited about it. I've heard a lot of good things so far (granted a lot of that is from Abercrombie retweeting stuff). The io9 excerpt was great.

[Dara]

I have Best Served Cold on my Kindle to read and The Heroes in print I have yet to read. I grew to really love him as The First Law trilogy went on.

[Rob, Mayor of Ghost Town]

Ill get it on the calendar.

[Rob, Mayor of Ghost Town]

Its moved up my to read list after doing Honor Among Thieves, but right now I'm not sure when I'd fit in time.

[Rob, Mayor of Ghost Town]

You don't need to read it. My friend does just about every star wars book, and he told me I could skip it.

It's the only star wars book I've read and had no trouble following it. But since you're already reading it, it's moot.

[Geoff]

I'm really looking forward to the next Expanse series novel. Glad to set others are interested in reading it.

[Sumant]

If we gonna read First law trilogy any time in future I am in for it.

Though I think his standalones (The Heroes, Best Served Cold, [book:Red Country..."

It's The Heroes for me. Everything I love about Abercrombie AND Epic Fantasy combined in one novel.

[Linette]

I have both on my shelf waiting for me to read, I'd be up for Best Served Cold and/or The Heroes.

[Rob, Mayor of Ghost Town]

Best Served Cold was good, but not great. I won't be reading it again anytime soon. I plan to do The Heroes at some point this year as I already own the ebook.

[Jake]

I need to try the stand alones, but Last Argument of Kings kind of left a bad taste in my mouth.

[Karen]

What about reading the new Trudi Cavanan book: Thief's Magic? It looks to be a cracking read, and I can highly recommend her other series:

The Age of Five

Priestess Of The White
Last of the Wilds
Voice Of The Gods)

Black Magician trilogy

The Magicians' Guild
The Novice
The High Lord

[Rob, Mayor of Ghost Town]

I listened to The Emperor's blades earlier this year and enjoyed it. I would hop in on discussion for that if people wanted to read it, but I won't read it again so soon.

I have blackbirds too, but I'm too busy to want to read it right now.

[Jake]

I really enjoyed The Emperor's Blades and would discuss as well. I'm still hoping this group does Blood Song.

[Orelia]

Theif's Magic sounds interesting. I'll buy it if there's going to be a group read.

[Ctgt]

FYI Thief's Magic is $2.99 preorder for Kindle here in the states.

[David Sven]

I still have the whole of the Black Magician Trilogy in my Audible library. I managed to collect every one from various sales over a year but haven't listened to a single one yet.

Damn you.

Ctgt wrote: "Who me?"

Yeah. Enticing me to buy another book I don't have time to read.

WoS was good, but I didn't care much for the sequels myself.

I think I own Black Prism. I plan to read it eventually.

Seconded. £6.64 on pre-order in the UK.

[S.]

[Karen]

Good series though. The follow up's ok, but I think the final book lets it down slightly...

Traitor Spy Trilogy (Follow up series to the Black Magician)

The Ambassador's Mission
The Rogue
The Traitor Queen

[Rob, Mayor of Ghost Town]

I don't have time to read thief's magic. Or at least not the whole thing. Skin Game comes out in 12 days and that is a drop everything book for me.

I can add it for you guys though.

[Karen]

I may well join you reading that - should have finished Mirror Sight by then!

C'mon Rob. You'll be finished with that in a day..........write a line of code, read a chapter.......repeat.
