I thought another Veronica had joined at some point and I just wasn't sure if maybe you meant her. Plus, I so rarely check this thread. But I'll join #4 with you. I can knock out 2 and 3 before then.

You've got some good books on that list! I doubt I will find time to reread Cast in Shadow but love that series.

However I'm interested in His Majesty's Dragon, anytime other than January. Also if you get to book 3 of Night Huntress let me know I need to finish that series.


message 3713: by Elizabeth (new)

Elizabeth (fantasynerd365) | 1229 comments Will do! Any month works for me too for His Majesty's Dragon. Glad to hear good things about Cast in Shadow. Book 1 has been sitting on my kindle for a long time.


message 3714: by Brittany (new)

Brittany | 155 comments See if anyone else is interested, then pick a date, I'll make it work.

I'd be up for reading The Poison Throne, Cast in Shadow and His Majesty's Dragon next year. January is starting to look a little busy but any other time is good!


message 3716: by Elizabeth (new)

Elizabeth (fantasynerd365) | 1229 comments Well hey, 3 in now for His Majesty's Dragon. Only BR I have at the moment is Gardens of the Moon, so I'm good for whenever on these.


message 3717: by Laura (new)

Laura (lauradragonchild) | 6554 comments I'll join you girls for His Majesty's Dragon as I loved that book. A reread would be great! :)

message 3719: by Laura (new)

Laura (lauradragonchild) | 6554 comments I am also interested in Seraphina, Cast in Shadow and The Last Stormlord

Temeraire - any date is good for me.


message 3720: by Anni (new)

Anni | 5066 comments I'm interested in Temeraire as well :) I wanted to join the last BR for the series but was too overbooked already... If you don't mind, I would like to start a little later, maybe March/ April?

message 3723: by Charlie (last edited Dec 10, 2018 02:09AM) (new)

Charlie (charlieridley) | 5750 comments @Tammie I’m interested in:

Raven’s Shadow
Etched in Bone
Lake Silence

edit: I've just realised @Tammie I'd agreed to read Wild Country in March so maybe we can read Etched in Bone in Jan and Lake Silence in Feb? Maybe around 15th of each month?

@Elizabeth I’d like to read:

Geist
The Last Stormlord

I’m pretty fully booked until the end of March but from there I can fit these in 😊

Waw, I didn't know there was a new one coming out! But I think it's a stand - alone?

It's an Inheritance Cycle spinoff so I think that's required reading. This is the start to a new series!

Laura if you haven't read Beauty yet,(remember we were discussing it) would March 8thish work for you?

Saar The Book owl | 3099 comments Anyone who wants to read the Dark Tower - series and the Shannara trilogy next year?


message 3735: by Kathrine (new)

Kathrine | 1249 comments I'd like to join in on the first Dark Tower book, but I'm not sure I want to commit to the entire series before I know if it's something for me :)


message 3736: by Saar The Book owl (new)

Saar The Book owl | 3099 comments @Katherine: That's fine. If we have more people, that's good. What date do you prefer?


message 3737: by Charlie (new)

Charlie (charlieridley) | 5750 comments Saar The Book owl wrote: "Anyone who wants to read the Dark Tower - series and the Shannara trilogy next year?"

i'd be in for at least book 1 of each series too. Ideally April or later if possible.

I might try Dark Tower... I don't have much experience with Stephen King, tho...

Release day?"


A few days after release date please. I'm opting for a hardcover (it's only 50rs more than the kindle book so totally worth it) and it will take a few days to reach me.

And the date is fine for Beauty. Didn't get to read it still.

Laura (lauradragonchild) | 6554 comments Saar The Book owl wrote: "Anyone who wants to read the Dark Tower - series and the Shannara trilogy next year?"

I'd like to sign up for Shannara.


message 3741: by Soo (new)

Soo (silverlyn) | 6898 comments Dark Tower is more fantasy and less horror. Long series though. I have thoughts about the series. One day I may re-read it and not feel the angst of the first time. Heh

Elizabeth (fantasynerd365) | 1229 comments How does mid March sound for His Majesty's Dragon?

Anyone who requested another book of mine have preferred dates?

Kathrine | 1249 comments Saar The Book owl wrote: "@Katherine: That's fine. If we have more people, that's good. What date do you prefer?"

After April, like Charlie wrote, would suit me fine :)

I'm interested as well, got some really old copies of the books from my dad years ago and haven't read them yet. First I need to figure out where to start, because all the books are splitted into 3 books each in my edition...

Ok Charlie January 15 for Etched in Bone and February 15 for Lake Silence works for me. I'll get those scheduled. Can we read Raven's Shadow towards the end of February? Maybe start on the 25th?

EDIT: Scratch that I had to put a different buddy read on Feb. 25. How about March 1?
