A couple of us read the 'Throne of glass' - series a few months ago, except the last book: Kingdom of Ash.Maybe it's time to pull this one from under the dust and finally read it to see how it's all ending for Cealana.
@Saar yes! I put this book on hold so I'd love to jump back in and finish it! We can just use the thread that's up if you want since I posted quite a few comments already.

No rush on this one :) Thanks for requesting!

Monday is good. I'm reading like 5 books at the moment so I'll just dip in and out of it. I'm already about halfway through it I think so I can wait for people to catch up before I continue reading.
@Charlie: I'm reading other books too at the moment. So, I will not read it in one stretch. I need to look where I've stranded.
Just a quick, friendly reminder for anyone who might be interested in buddy reading the Fellowship of the Ring (and maybe the rest of the series after it), we start at August 1st :-)
I'm feeling in the mood for something grimdark, anybody want to read The Grim Company by Luke Scull around end of July?

Hi All,I'm looking to do a series re-read of the best (in my humble opinion) 'unknown,' Urban Fantasy author in the world Nick Moseley
in the August, September, October timeframe.Books to read in order.
and
Noting that Deceased Estate, The Ghost's Story, and Killing Lazarus are novellas, the other books are full sized novels.
Nick's books are a brilliant mixture of sarcastic English wit, drama, comedy and at times tragedy. These books have the power to make you chuckle, smile, and weep. A rare combination.
So, my fellow ardent readers of fantasy - who is with me?

Cool.
We'll see who else we can get on board this series re-read.
Hi there. Would anyone fancy reading any of these with me?Written in Red (The Others, #1) by Anne Bishop Moon Called (Mercy Thompson, #1) by Patricia Briggs Dreamer's Pool (Blackthorn & Grim, #1) by Juliet Marillier Court of Fives (Court of Fives, #1) by Kate Elliott The Thief Who Pulled on Trouble's Braids (Amra Thetys, #1) by Michael McClung Grave Mercy (His Fair Assassin, #1) by Robin LaFevers Graceling (Graceling Realm, #1) by Kristin Cashore
I wanted to read the Graceling trilogy this year, but a bit later, say October?

I'm moving on the 28th 😱 so I may start a few days later? EDIT wait, I already checked out the ebook 🤪 so I might start right before or around then. We'll make it work! 🤩

I'm sooo excited for the book and finally having another BR together will be the cherry on top 😁
Laura, I'd love to read Graceling and Moon Called with you. My BRs tail off after this month, so any time you want to start is fine by me.

This is the GR group that's doing that. We could do a thread in this one too if we get any interest.

Location, Location, Damnation does sound pretty interesting. I'll join you for the first leg of the journey at least.I tend to hop around between authors, so I'm unlikely to read a series straight through.

Thanks Chris. I joined the group. And let's see if we get any other peeps interested in reading it. Then we can make the thread here too. :)
