Since it seems to be a standalone, would you mind me joining you on reading this? Looks very interesting!

I liked all 3 Wayfarers, although I heard a lot of mixed reviews over the third one. If the first book is about a whole crew of characters, the second tightens its focus to just a couple, while the third widens the aperture to a whole community.

Although there are ties to one another within the universe, each book follows new characters. I can't say for certain, but if you can't get to 2 & 3 in time, I think you could read #4 without missing much. (Although I loved A Closed and Common Orbit, and would definitely recommend circling back!)

That would be great! I have requested a thread and will post the link here when it's up. :)

The thread is not up yet but I'll keep a check and post a link here as soon as it's done. :)

I'll try and see if I can make it in time for book 4. This series has been sitting unread on my shelves for a couple of years now. High time to get it read.

And I'll ask for a thread for The House in the Cerulean Sea for Feb 15th. :)

[Siobhan]

Hey all, Charlie and I are going to read The Rithmatist starting 5th Jan if anyone wants to join! :)

[Laura]

@Siobhan - I'm in for The Rithmatist

@Iain, did you request a thread?"

I have a bunch of requests to make, now...

EDIT: Requests made for the things I'm firm on... clarification comments here on the things I'm unsure about... otherwise done slacking (in this thread)...

Speaking of, do we want to start Shadows of the Apt this month, or April... waiting until April avoids gaps in the audiobook release schedule...

I cleared my first 3 BRs of the year... my schedule is wide open, when you have time...

So I'm open to Transformation whenever you are...

Laura wrote: "@Melissa - No other takers right now. Do you want us to read it in Feb? I could wait till then and read his Lightning Struck Heart first."

I'm open to reading the Lightning Struck Heart, and the rest of the Tales of Verania... need me some more Klune...

[Soo]

Everything Box

02/15 works for me. =)

Shadows of the Apt

Let's go with April. That way we don't have a gap. Do we want one thread to cover the series? If we do that, maybe Book Club? Or separate threads for each book?

I think we said 1 book per month or 2 weeks per book?

Transformation

I can't remember if I said if I was going to re-read this or not. Hahaha! Wasn't there other people interested in that one? I think it's 3 pages back.

Everything Box: Good

Shadows of the Apt: needs to be 1 month per book... 2 weeks, and we'd be waiting until August to start... books 5-7 come out in July and 8-10 in November...

I'm unsure what route we want to take with Shadows of the Apt threads... if it's mostly just me, you, and maybe a few others, a single thread seems best...

Transformation: that comment was actually a reply to Laura... the only affirmative response I noticed...

[Soo]

Shadows of the Apt (Fantasy Series)

1 book per month is great. That's easy to manage whether I go audio or reading print.

April 15th for Empire in Black and Gold?
15th for each book? #9 & 10 come out on 11/11

We should see if Choko & Brain want to read this one. I'll post in Vagabond.

That should work... I'll just be a week late for the July read, since it comes up on the 22nd...

I read The Lightning-Struck Heart and loved it - total ridiculous crack. I paused the series after the 2nd book though, so if you read the series I may join for 3 and 4.

I hope there are other takers for this, as I'd love to stalk the comments. I might skim through to comment on my favorite parts. It's tempting me to reread...

[Soo]

Timelord Iain wrote: "That should work... I'll just be a week late for the July read, since it comes up on the 22nd... "

Want to make it the 22nd of each month then?

I think we have to read within 2 weeks of the BR date right?

[Charlie]

I'm in for Blood Heir!

[Beena]

I'm in for Blood Heir!

Who's that by Charlie? I'm intrigued. Can't see who suggested it, there's a lot going on in the last few pages lol

It's the new Ilona Andrews book, comes out next week. Tammie suggested it :)

[Hailee]

I decided today that I'm going to restart The Faithful and the Fallen series.


I basically only needed to read the last one but I've left way too long between book 3 and book 4 and since I LOVE this series so much I don't want to risk forgotten details to spoil the ending. Therefore I want to restart it and read all 4 in 2021.

If anyone is interested in buddy reading them let me know. I'm probably going to set a schedule of 1 every two months.

[Laura]

@Iain - I'd like to read The Lightning Struck Heart this week. Would that be ok?

And set Transformation for whenever you want this month. I'm game.
If you like it and want to binge the series I'm with that too.

Hey Hailee

I'd like to read that series so let me know what month you want to begin?? I have owned the paperbacks for about two years and they have just been sitting in my shelf for too long

[Paula]

Hailee, I'm also up to reading the faithful and the fallen

[Hailee]

Brian and Paula - That's great! I was thinking of starting in February, maybe a start date of the 11th?

I'm open to suggestions though if that date doesn't work for either of you?

I want to read these Hailee, just ordered the books!

I was thinking end of Jan, but can wait a few weeks I'm sure.

Probably waiting until February 'cause somebody said that they were finishing up The Well of Ascension, too?

Big thumbs up!

[Laura]

@Vuk - the Swordheart thread is also up.

[Hailee]

Brian, Paula - glad that date works for you.

Siobhan - Yay!! Glad you'll be joining in. Since you're not taking part in the competition this year, I don't think anyway... if you wanted to start earlier you could, I'm sure you'll still be reading by the time the rest of us start. These books are a bit chunky after all... although maybe for a veteran of the Stormlight Archive these books might seem a bit weedy 😂😂

[Hailee]

I'll request a thread for Malice for 11th Feb. We can decide later on if we want a separate thread for each book or use one thread for the entire series.

I understand! I started way too many books this past weekend. But I can start next weekend if that works for you and anyone else interested. I am only interested in Crooked Kingdom though since I own it.

[Meera]

Hailee wrote: "I decided today that I'm going to restart The Faithful and the Fallen series.

I am interested too and I can start at the end of January or February. Whichever way it works out is good with me.

[Hailee]

It's great that you can join Meera. I've put a thread request in for 11th February so that'll be the approximate start date.

[Ishan]

I'm interested in Malice! I started it a few months back but wasn't sold on the first few chapters. Definitely willing to give it another go with some buddies!

No such thing as too many books... this thread HAS exploded tho, with the start of a new year...

[Soo]

BR invite is the heart of FBR! =D

Even the book club stuff are spur of the moment BRs. =)

Happy to see this thread busy.
