I am in for Godsgrave!!


message 2461: by Solseit (new)

Solseit | 1516 comments Anyone interested in reading (re-reading) the first two books of the Legends of the First Empire by Michael J. Sullivan, and book three once it is out?
Specifically,
Age of Myth, Age of Swords and Age of War (the publication of the last one is expected by April 17).
I was thinking to read the books with about 1 month break between each book - yes, it means February 17 but if there is enough interest, we might start at the beginning of the months (March 1, April 1, May 1).

Age of War has been delayed. July 3rd is the new release date. Michael explains the reasons for this on his 'review' of the book.

But I'm in for the first two!

Oh I did not know! so we can postpone the starting date to May! But I would love to re-read the first two!
Any preference on the starting date?

I'd actually like it better if we could do April, June and July. My May is fully packed, and I'm planning some traveling (in Spain YAY) as well. Since it'll be my first reading of the series, I don't want to rush through it :) Would that be OK with you?
No particular preference on the starting date, so whatever suits your schedule ;)


message 2466: by C.P. (new)

C.P. Cabaniss (cpcabaniss) | 1578 comments I'm in for a reread of Age of Myth and Age of Swords! Any time in May should be fine for me, if that's when you guys are planning to start.


message 2467: by Solseit (new)

Solseit | 1516 comments Cool!
What about a compromise on the starting date (April 15) for Age of Myth and then June 1 for Age of Swords?

If so, I will ask to add it to the reading list (or do we need more participants to make it a read in FBR group?)!

Perfect! And nope, you only need two participants (including yourself) for a buddy read :)


message 2469: by C.P. (new)

C.P. Cabaniss (cpcabaniss) | 1578 comments I will try and join for both of those. :)

I do! Mid to late July would be best for me, as I'm pretty heavily booked. But if you want to schedule earlier I'll try my best to fit it in.

There is already a thread for Age of War. A bunch of us were planning on reading it right away in April, but I'm not sure how many people will get to it right away now in July.
I know I plan to!

Oh, I didn't notice that thread, thanks. I'll probably do the same if I like the first two enough. Which I'm sure I will because Michael Sullivan.

message 2496: by Bibliothecat (new)

Bibliothecat Hello everyone!

I've never done a buddy read before but have always been rather keen to try!

Some of the books I've been wanting to read next are the following:
The Word Changers by Ashlee Willis Starry River of the Sky by Grace Lin Tamsin by Peter S. Beagle
Oooor a Diana Wynne Jones:
Charmed Life (Chrestomanci, #1) by Diana Wynne Jones Fire and Hemlock by Diana Wynne Jones A Tale of Time City by Diana Wynne Jones The Time of the Ghost by Diana Wynne Jones

I had no particular date or reading time in mind - as I said, I'm new to this and fairly unfamiliar. Would be great to find someone to get started with!
