Saar The Book owl | 3096 comments 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.


message 5606: by Charlie (new)

Charlie (charlieridley) | 5750 comments @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.

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.


message 5615: by Saar The Book owl (new)

Saar The Book owl | 3096 comments @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.


message 5616: by Marit (new)

Marit (marit-) | 124 comments 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 :-)

Hi Marit, I'll be there - looking forward to my 5th or 6th re-read.


message 5622: by Graeme (new)

Graeme Rodaughan 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 Nick Moseley in the August, September, October timeframe.

Books to read in order.

Location, Location, Damnation (The Brackenford Cycle #1) by Nick Moseley Deceased Estate (The Brackenford Cycle #1.5) by Nick Moseley Hangman's Pond (The Brackenford Cycle #2) by Nick Moseley The Ghost's Story (The Brackenford Cycle #2.5) by Nick Moseley Spectre's Rest (The Brackenford Cycle #3) by Nick Moseley Killing Lazarus (The Brackenford Cycle #3.5) by Nick Moseley and Grindhelm's Key (The Brackenford Cycle #4) by Nick Moseley

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?


message 5623: by Laura (new)

Laura (lauradragonchild) | 6554 comments Hi there. Would anyone fancy reading any of these with me?

I hope you enjoy The Thief Who Knocked on Sorrow's Gate, this is one of my favorite series, such a good fantasy in my opinion, and so so dramatically underrated !

I'm sooo excited for the book and finally having another BR together will be the cherry on top 😁

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

Sterling (sterling1989) | 272 comments 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.

I think that's the start date of The Fellowship of the Ring buddy read we signed up for. I haven't checked the thread in awhile, but that's what I have stamped in my memory.
