Hey Choko, which book you want to read first?

I picked up Ship of Magic for my holiday, but didn't manage to get very far- I'm only a couple of chapters in- if anyone's interested or got time to BR it now?
I've been wanting to do a full Realm of the Elderlings reread--but I want to start with Assassin: Apprentice so I'd be a bit. Was thinking of making a Realm of the Elderlings Book Club thread where folks could work their way through. Are you planning on picking up the later series too Beena?

Hello! I am new here and am interested in reading the A Court Of Thorns And Roses series. Anyone interested?A Court of Thorns and Roses
I'm dying to reread Realm of the Elderlings but I'm reading Soldier Son at the moment so I'd be a few months late 😅

But I'd love to join a discussion if it's read at your own pace.
@Camilla, ah nice! That's great, I'll put in a thread request then for 11th July. No worries, pretty much everything here is read at your own pace.
@Nirkatze, probably not, I was thinking of just reading this trilogy for now and seeing how it goes... tbf, I'll probably wanna switch to something else afterwards, soz Nirkatze, looks like you got other takers though. :)

If it's a read at your own pace just let me know when you would generally start :D
So, I went ahead and made a book club thread for Realm of the Elderlings:https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...
I hope folks'll join!
I'm going to start picking up the first few series on audiobook (yay libraries!) whenever I have time.

@Silvana--Brian Staveley's on my TBR, but I'm not sure if I'll be able to squeeze it in. Is that the first book to read in his universe?
@NirkatzeReally? It's not supposed to be released until the 12th. I pre-ordered mine, so it should be coming in the the mail probably later this week.
Would a week from now sound good? Hopefully that's not too soon for the mods.

Yup! Looking at it right now! Maybe the bookstore made a mistake and put it out early--but if so they didn't notice when they sold it to me. :)
I'd be down for a week. We can start whenever the mods have time to make the thread too, if that's in a week or longer. :)
I'll join you Maria sometime around end of August if you don't mind. I'm just before holidays and need to read A Feast of Crows first :)
Beena wrote: "@Emily, Choko, Laura (Tenfingers)Fancy setting a date for carrying on with The Acts of Caine?"
Oooh yeah, I'm in whenever!
Oooh yeah, I'm in whenever!Excellent :D
Either early or late August for me I think
Ok, so we could potentially do August... I'll drop Choko a message and see what her availability is.

RE Acts of Caine BR- Choko's down for whenever too, so how do you feel about next week Emily? Or when specifically in early August were you thinking?
@Maria hopefully sometime between 25 and 31 August :) I'm on holiday at the moment. Will be back home Sunday next week and planning to grab Feast of Crows from library as soon as I back :)
Hello everyone, would anyone like to join me in reading one of these books starting in September?These are the books to choose from:
Robin Hobb - Assasin's Apprentice
David Dalglish - A Dance of Cloaks
Sebastien de Castell - Traitor's Blade
Naomi Novik - His Majesty's Dragon
@Veronika - There's a Realm of the Elderlings thread and I think they're still on Assassin's Apprentice - https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

Peeps who were doing The Broken Empire read, are you up for reading Emperor of Thorns at the beginning of September?If I recall correctly, it was Rob, Fazila and Choko that did the BR of King of Thorns..
Anyone fancy reading some new releases? I've got Soul Taken by Patricia Briggs and Ruby Fever by Ilona Andrews
Charlie wrote: "Anyone fancy reading some new releases? I've got Soul Taken by Patricia Briggs and Ruby Fever by Ilona Andrews"There's a buddy read set up for Soul Taken, but I can't remember when it starts.

There's a Ruby Fever Buddy Read going on right now: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

If a Soul Taken Buddy Read was planned, it's gone missing... probably because the book was delayed... wasn't it originally supposed to come out in May?...
Timelord Iain wrote: "If a Soul Taken Buddy Read was planned, it's gone missing... probably because the book was delayed... wasn't it originally supposed to come out in May?..."It was set for May and then it got changed by one of the mods. I think it was changed to September 1st.
Well... the BR is no longer linked to the book, then, because I didn't find it when I went to the book page...
Anyone fancy reading Babel, or The Necessity of Violence: An Arcane History of the Oxford Translators' Revolution?I'm in no hurry if we can't read immediately :)
Emily wrote: "Anyone fancy reading Babel, or The Necessity of Violence: An Arcane History of the Oxford Translators' Revolution?I'm in no hurry if we can't read immediately :)"
I am interested, but I'm reading pretty slow right now, and I ordered a special edition I'm not sure when it'll get here...
Emily wrote: "I can wait! Check back here when you receive the copy/and are ready?"Yes! Feel free to bug me or send me a message if you get impatient too--work started back up again last week and everything just tends to go in one ear and out the other right now... I'm not overly confident in my ability to remember things, but hopefully my book arriving will jog my memory!
Thought I'd drop in I got the email notification for the Buddy Read for A Deadly Education! I'm in! Super excited for it as I just bought books 1 and 2!
Hi guys!I'm planning my October TBR and wondering if anyone would like to join me for some buddy reads?
The Call of Cthulhu and Other Weird Stories
Stalking Jack the Ripper
The Dark Descent of Elizabeth Frankenstein
Near the Bone
Lord of the Fly Fest
The Scorpio Races (with Courtney)
Writing them all down has made me realise I might be being a bit ambitious haha.
Also, I'm about to start The Southern Book Club's Guide to Slaying Vampires on Monday if anyone fancies it?
