Mid July works for me. I want to read it but it isn't a priority series. I may try Guns of the Dawn as a standalone between now and then to see how I like him as an author.

Just had a look at Guns of the Dawn and it looks like something I would be interested in as well. Let me know if you do decide to read it as as standalone.

Olivia (vinjii) | 1144 comments I have the first book of Shadow of the Apt waiting and would be interested in reading his standalone. I loved his sci-fi novel.

message 216: by Laura (new)

Laura (lauradragonchild) | 6554 comments Hi everybody! I'd like to read the Faarseer Trilogy and The Tawny Man by Robin Hobb this Year. Also the Empire Trilogy by Feist and Memory of Sorrow and Thorn by Tad Williams. I know they are older and classic but they have been lying on my bookshelves since forever and I'd like to finish them before moving on to Malazan. Would anybody be interested in reading any of the above titles with me?

Laura you just named two of my all-time favorites!!!! Love your tastes :) I'd be down for the one I haven't read - the tad williams. :)

The empire trilogy really sparked my passion for books and the final tawny man book is the reason I started blogging - it was so amazing I had to tell someone haha.


message 218: by Solseit (new)

Solseit | 1516 comments I would love to start the Fraser trilogy at some point this year but I want to wait just a bit more - right now I have too many started series!


message 219: by Shaitarn (new)

Shaitarn | 2185 comments I'm committed to a few reads in February, but I'd love to read Memory Sorrow and Thorn with you; I think the last time I read it was when the last book came out in hardback (man, I feel old!).


message 220: by Laura (new)

Laura (lauradragonchild) | 6554 comments Thanks everyone for replying. After your reviews Niki I am even more eager to start Farseer right away. I'd love to read Tad Williams with you Shaitarn. I have Brent Weeks Night Angel and Lightbringer scheduled for March and April. I could either put Tad Williams in between them (like the third week of March or close to end of April) Would that be ok for you?


message 221: by Laura (new)

Laura (lauradragonchild) | 6554 comments Hi Aristea. If I don't start the Farseer this month with another buddy read from here I'll wait for you so we can start together :))

Niki Hawkes - The Obsessive Bookseller | 7639 comments Mod
If we do tad Williams in may I can join. :) but please don't wait for me if you'd rather tackle it earlier.


message 223: by Quinn (new)

Quinn | 460 comments January and February are pretty busy so I think March should be best


message 224: by Laura (new)

Laura (lauradragonchild) | 6554 comments What do you think Shaitarn? When will it be good for you?


message 225: by Shaitarn (new)

Shaitarn | 2185 comments If it's okay with you March would be great for me.


message 226: by Laura (new)

Laura (lauradragonchild) | 6554 comments March it is then. Will you please fix the date for March Quinn? For Tad Williams? And do we set up a separate thread? I don't know how this actually works.

Ok Let me ask other.


message 228: by Laura (new)

Laura (lauradragonchild) | 6554 comments hey Niki. It looks like it's just you and me for Lightbringer in April. Would you like to replace it with something else? Maybe others would also be interested. I for one have other titles also on my reading list this year: Outlander, Liveship Traders, Soldier's Son, The Serpentwar Saga, His Dark Materials... Would you be interested in any of these or have you read them already? And would anyone else like to read any of the above in April?

Lol, it might be small right now. the number usually growing over the time

Elizabeth (fantasynerd365) | 1229 comments If you do Lightbringer at the end of April or beginning of May I might be able to join you.


message 231: by Laura (new)

Laura (lauradragonchild) | 6554 comments that would be good Elizabeth.


message 232: by Niki Hawkes, I made it past GOTM... barely (new)

Niki Hawkes - The Obsessive Bookseller | 7639 comments Mod
Unfortunately, I've already read/tried all of those haha. It's still a little early - how about we set the date for end of April/beginning of may sometime and see how it goes? We can always switch titles at the last minute if we need to. ;P


message 233: by Angela, I'm Silverfox lost (new)

Angela | 3694 comments Mod
Let us know once you have intended start dates and we can set up threads for them. Like Quinn said, usually once you open the thread more people see it and then decide to join in on the buddy read as well :).


message 234: by Quinn (new)

Quinn | 460 comments Ok I will set up Ted Williams folder. Do you have the first book in mind?

Is it the Shadowmarch series you planning? Because I also got this one on my shelf...


message 236: by Laura (new)

Laura (lauradragonchild) | 6554 comments It's Memory of Sorrow and Thorn Anni.


message 237: by Laura (new)

Thank you for the offer - would you mind setting Lightbringer for May 1st?

message 243: by Laura (new)

Laura (lauradragonchild) | 6554 comments should we start with The Dragonbone Chair by Tad Williams in the third week of March?


message 244: by Niki Hawkes, I made it past GOTM... barely (new)

Niki Hawkes - The Obsessive Bookseller | 7639 comments Mod
