How was it? Good? I have the first book somewhere and have my fingers crossed that Williams is back to good old fantasy without the depressing bent of his other series.

[Silvana]

@Iain & Narilka: thanks! Will ask for a thread.

[Silvana]

@Chris: I am interested but can only start in April. The new book is set 30 years after Last Argument of Kings so I might only reread the trilogy and maybe Best Served Cold if I have time.

[Chris]

@Silvana, we can work with that.

The blurb says A ruthless young assassin's journey for revenge comes to a stunning end in the conclusion of this acclaimed epic fantasy trilogy. , so I'll go ahead and request BRs for July and August 10th... Angela already setup Darkdawn for September 10th...

[Timelord Iain, Tech Support]

I requested everything we talked about here, except Wayward Children #4 & Paradox Bound... I even requested King of Scars, to get that on the calendar... all new releases are planned for 7 days after release, as per what I said above...

When would you like to read Paradox Bound, Narilka? I already read Sightwitch, but if you or others want to make a thread to talk about it, you can, or you can talk about it in the Bloodwitch thread, if you want... it's a prequel to the series that's supposed to tie-in to the third book... I might do a re-read before Bloodwitch, but I dunno...

I'm in! :)

[Soo]

Iain! Read King of the Road with me! It's coming out in a few days. WOO!

[Timelord Iain, Tech Support]

Some of them standalones look interesting Angela, but I don't have time to check them all out before I head to work... I'll check back tomorrow morning... I know Warcross is on my TBR, and Dry sounds interesting...

[Timelord Iain, Tech Support]

I'm in... request a thread... I wasn't sure anyone else around here was planning to read it...

I didn't notice there was a date attached before, for some reason... February 25 is fine with me...

[Soo]

Yay! I may re-listen to The Brotherhood of the Wheel. I can't wait to get it into the sequel.

Request for King of the Road has been made. =D

Don't know, I also haven't read them yet. I've read the Dragonbone Chair books this year and liked them very much, I'm excited to continue with this world.

[Charlie]

@Iain I’ll try and join
Storm Cursed -- Mercy Thompson #11
Wild Country -- Others #7
Fallen -- Alex Verus #10
Sapphire Flames -- Hidden Legacy #4
Darkdawn -- Nevernight Chronicles #3


@Idiffer I’m up for these:

@Angela I’m up for these. I’m jam packed for Jan but I’ll try and fit them in any other time:
Thunderhead by Neal Shusterman
Dry by Neal Shusterman.
Afterworlds by Scott Westerfeld.
Warcross by Marie Lu

[Angela Jr.]

I'm free from end of jan onwards...
Let's do one a month maybe? I don't really mind which order we read them in. Starting on feb 5th ok for you?

[Charlie]

I've actually got 2 books starting that day, would the 8th be okay?

I'd like to join in on A Gentleman's Guide to Vice and Virtue + sequel :)

[Kathrine]

I think I was the one who requested King of Scars in the Ruin and Rising thread, so I guess I should post here as well.

Does February work for everyone who wants to join?

I'd like to join in on the new Bardugo series!

[Charlie]

I'm happy to do King of Scars whenever :) I think Idiffer was thinking Jan 29th? Both that date and Feb is fine for me.

I set all new releases a week late as a compromise... Day 1 readers can use the thread and get competition points... people who wait for a library copy can participate for points as late as 3 weeks after release... I only broke that rule for Wild Country and Storm Cursed because Soo was the first respondent, and asked to start them later in the month...

[idiffer]

@ Charlie and Katherine

jan 29 is the release date. Iain had a good idea to set the BR date a week after (library and other reasons I don't remember).
for me it doesn't really matter, but I wouldn't want to wait for MORE than a week.
Don't know what to do about Ninth house, as it doesnt have a day of release, only the month of october. So should we wait until a date is confirmed for the release?

Is this for all the standalones and duologies you listed?... I'm interested in reading all of them... my schedule could use more short series to spice it up... I haven't read Scythe, tho, so can't do Thunderhead...

8th of each month would work, like Charlie mentioned... only other thing I have on the 8th is Kurtherian Gambit, and those books take about 3-5hrs to read...

[Kathrine]

@idiffer, Iain, Charlie

A week after release date would be nice for me, because I don't know if my copy will arrive exactly on the 29th. So February 5 is a go?

Re: Ninth House – yeah, let's wait until we know when it'll be published. We could set it for November, but idk, if it's published like... October 3rd, that'd be a long time to wait 😂

[idiffer]

Oh, cheked the BR request thread - Iain asked for february 5 for king of scars. works for me.

[Timelord Iain, Tech Support]

Kathrine wrote: "I think I was the one who requested King of Scars in the Ruin and Rising thread, so I guess I should post here as well.

Does February work for everyone who wants to join?"

I put King of Scars on the schedule for February 5th... hopefully what I said above about it qualifying for competition points for anyone who starts between January 29th and February 19th... or you could request a 2nd BR... we did that by accident last year... half the group read Children of Time on February 23rd, and the rest signed up for a BR of Children of Time on March 10th, without realizing there was another one so close...

[Kathrine]

Sounds fine. I'm not sure how the competition points work, I better check up on that if I'm joining this year, hahaha

[Chris]

You have a preferred April date to start?

Anyone else wanting to sign up for The First Law series by Abercrombie, starting in April?

[✨ A ✨]

Ninth house is set to release on October 1st 2019

[idiffer]

@Azrah
Damn, I should have known that. On the book info page it does have the date, but on my shelf it just says october.

[Timelord Iain, Tech Support]

Kathrine wrote: "Sounds fine. I'm not sure how the competition points work, I better check up on that if I'm joining this year, hahaha"

You can start a Buddy Read up to 7 days early or 14 days late, but anything more than that, and you can't count it as a Buddy Read for competition points... in general, BRs go best if you read around the start date... you get higher participation that way, and it shouldn't all be a points game... it's not like there's a reward at the end...

I view New Releases a bit differently... usually everyone is excited about it, so participation is high, anyway... I set the start date to allow the highest level of participation between book buyers and book borrowers, is all...

Thats so strange. When I go to the book info it has the date right there. Hmm goodreads glitch I suppose

[idiffer]

So should we settle for october 8th for ninth house?

Oh, okay, makes sense. Thank you!

[Charlie]

Ah that makes sense, thanks guys. I'm fine with any date close to release for Scars and for Ninth House we could just hold off requesting a thread for it until we get a release date.

[idiffer]

@Charlie
As Azrah pointed out there is a release date for ninth house - oct 1.
It's just not visible on your shelves.

The shelf treats the first day of any month as a generic month date... learned that a long time ago when I used to fiddle with things in there...

[Timelord Iain, Tech Support]

October 8th is what I would request, so it's fine with me :)

[Angela Jr.]

Sure, we can do whenever really. I just suggested a random date 😉
Do you want to do a specific order?

Kathrine wrote: "I'd like to join in on A Gentleman's Guide to Vice and Virtue + sequel :)

Great :) do you have a date in mind? I'm free from end of january onwards.

[Rob]

I am debating an Abercrombie re-read considering A Little Hatred is scheduled for a September release and it has been a few years since I've read anything by him other than Sharp Ends. That means 6 books, one a month which would start things up I believe in March to go through all 6 books (I don't feel a need to include Sharp Ends again). Anyone else interested?

Hey Rob. Silvana and I were talking about doing this. She'll need to wait until April to start, though.
