You always bring up the best sounding books. :) I've had stardoc and valor's choice on my shelves for years. I'd love to join you for them, but I've booked myself out until next September. O_o

Ahh! Riyria! I don't know if I can wait that long, but I'll try, if it means a buddy read with you fabulous folk. :)
I dont remember where I wrote that but I sure did it before. I want to read Demon Cycle and Witcher series. Pls let me know if you are interested.
Sarah, Melissa, Laura - it would be fantastic to have you all on board! :DBeste, I'd like to read the Demon Cycle but I don't have the books yet, and my schedule is packed until about June! When were you thinking?
Beste wrote: "I dont remember where I wrote that but I sure did it before. I want to read Demon Cycle and Witcher series. Pls let me know if you are interested."Which Witcher series?
I already read The warded Man and both novellas , but would join you for the others books :)
'The painted man' was really good. Tomorrow I start with 'The desert spear' for another BR.
I know I said this before but I might join if I don't get the urge to start daylight war so d you are gonna do a BR I might join along with Chris Murphy and Niki since they've read the first bookAlso Saar I would be interested to know what you think about desert spear personally the beginning was a bit of a slog but it does pick up and I enjoyed it in the end but that's my opinion.
@Ahdam: I let you know when I've finished. The first book was really good, so I hope the second will too.

Haha just kidding
Haha, Margret we would completely understand if you decided to kick back and take the day off.Thank you for setting up the Theft of Swords folder though!
Laura wrote: "Beste wrote: "I dont remember where I wrote that but I sure did it before. I want to read Demon Cycle and Witcher series. Pls let me know if you are interested."Which Witcher series?"
The Last Wish this one.
@Siobhan I have the books but theres always something coming up before I start. So if we set up a date I won't postpone again :)

Well hun, I could do June 5th? But, if you want to read them sooner with anyone, feel completely free to do so! I don't want to hold you up.
@Beste - I have The Last Wish, Blood of Elves, Baptism of Fire and Tower of the Swallow. If you could let me know which are the missing titles I'll get those too. Can't find them on GR. (probably don't know where to look for them :D) I'd like to read these with you so what date do you have in mind? If Shioban wants to join also I would like to wait till she also has time for it.
I think I'll join for the witches as well it's another series I've been wanting to get to for a while
I don't think I'll join for the Witcher, can't even find a list of them in English on GR. I have figured out book 1 but no idea beyond that as they're in Polish (I think).
https://www.bookseriesinorder.com/and... I found the books. Laura, Ahdam shall we do it monthly? Start when you are okay.
@Siobhan for the Demon Cycle I can wait. Lets do it together in June.
@Delitealex is it okay for you too?

The Last Wish (1993)
Sword of Destiny (1992)
Blood of Elves (1994)
Time of Contempt (1995)
Baptism of Fire (1995)
The Tower of Swallows (1997)
Lady of the Lake (1999)
Season of Storms (2013)
I'd be up for The Witcher series as well, but probably not until late spring at least.
Cool, Demon Cycle in June it is :)Thanks for the list Sarah. If I get time when you guys are reading I will try to join, but no promises!
You guys are really gonna enjoy Demon Cycle. I read the first one in October, we’re reading the second one now. The first book in the series is in my top 3 books of the year. I really do hope you guys enjoy it as much as I did. Maybe I’ll pop in and read your guys thoughts/impression.

Oh I'd like to join for The Witcher too! I feel bad that I haven't read what is like, the only good Polish high fantasy series and I could use some motivation :D
Beste wrote: "Witcher in June everyone?"Works for me!
I'm all in for the Witcher! I've read The Last Wish already so I'll hang around that thread and jump in properly with the second one.
I've read The Last Wish so I'm in for the rest of the series.
Hi! I'm Layne and I'm new here, but I'm just starting a collection of Ursula K LeGuin novellas called The Found and The Lost-- anyone up for reading it with me?

Definately yes! I've read the first 2 books, so that will be a re - read, but I've wanted to finish this series for so long!
Siobhan wrote: "Hi all, Iain, Zaara and I are planning to read Riyria next year, starting with Theft of Swords around 12th May. Would anyone be interested in joining? :)"I've read these already so will pop in on your discussion of the books.

I started the book last year, got a few chapters in, got distracted by some real life event and then just never got back to it.

Not a request as much as a question but if I wanted to start Malazan, which book do I start with?
Sha wrote: "Not a request as much as a question but if I wanted to start Malazan, which book do I start with?"Gardens of the Moon is your starting point!
As it happens, there is a pretty large group read of the entire series starting right here on January 5th! So if you're looking to get started, then is the perfect time :)
We have a br for the entire malazen series in January and we're all going to start with gardens of the moon so if you do want to start it then you can join us if you want

Looks like you are all pretty scheduled! However, I am still recovering from cataract surgery and need audio books for a while. I am currently listening to The Ghost King. Anybody want to jump in on this book with me? I think it is not the first in a series but it doesn't seem to matter.
