I'm also planning on re-reading the Dark Tower series.

Angela wrote: "Awesome. How does your buddy read schedule look after April?"I have two BRs starting an May 1st so 10th May or later would be perfect :)
After reading assassins creed I'm interested in reading more video game novelisations out of curiosity so I was wondering if anyone would be interested in reading one of these 2 booksGod of War - A badass epic game based on greek mythology unfortunately there is only 2 books but still it would be nice to read it
Aspho Fields - Another badass video game however I am told this is an original story it would fill gaps if you played the game but I think it might be interesting
So I think early march might be good so any takers?
Angela wrote: "Does anyone want to read Skullsworn later this year? After April?"I will join the BR. Should be able to do it in May. I have not read the series but have Emperor's Blades looking all neglected like in my Audible app. Haha

Thanks Chris!
Laura and I are doing a read of the wonderful Guy Gavriel Kay this year. If any of you would like to join us, you'd be more then welcome! Dates below:Ysabel - 22nd Feb
The Last Light of the Sun - 22nd March
Under Heaven - 22nd April
River of Stars - 22nd May
Children of Earth and Sky - 22nd June
You know what I might have a try at Kay for once so count me in
Of course it's all the Kay books that I haven't read yet lolEvil temptation
@ Adham You'd be most welcome, but in my opinion (and this is only my opinion!) Ysabel isn't Kay's best book; you may starting with one of his others.@ Chris Mwahaha! This was precisely my evil plan!

Duly noted
Besides when am I ever gonna read Kay's book so I'll have a go at Ysabel with low expectations and maybe I'll have a go at Tigana later on
@Ahdam We have a Tigana buddy read set up for February already too.

Is anyone up for The Great Book of Amber @40-50 pages/day?And for all of us who decided to read Earthsea - February/March when?
Amber is awesome and deceptively easy to read. I'm on my 2nd copy of the book because I've read it a few times. =) It's not even considered Zelazny's best but I love that series. Author is better known for his short stories.
Ya'll should do it! =D

I loved reading A Night in the Lonesome October
Which are your favourite short stories by him?
When would you like to read Zelany Kari ? I would like to join. Also wich short story do you want to read this Sunday ? :)
I don't have anything lined up right now so I would be cool with anytime. The short story you talked about - winter something?
Should we create a thread in unofficial book clubs called Annie Bellet Shorts - or we could read it in the One Short Story club if Virginie is okay with it!
I don't have any fav short stories. I tried a few but nothing really stood out for me. I do love the Amber series.

Winter's Bite ! Perfect I have this one already ! :) Hum whichever seems best for you... perhaps not creating a new thread would be better, but only if you're not reading other stuff at the same time... I don't know.

Isn't it strange that one her website this is mentioned in the free section and it's free on smashwords and Nook but costs money in the Kindle Store?

Bah, since I love her I don't mind spending some euros to support her :) I might also buy the physical copies for 20 sided sorceress at some point
After searching for months I've managed to track down a paperback edition to preorder of The Priory of the Orange Tree. Is anyone interested and free to buddy read it starting at the beginning of March?
Just to put the invite out there, a few of us are planning to read the Long Price Quartet starting with A Shadow in Summer on 1st June, then one book a month thereafter. If anyone fancies reading them you're more than welcome to join! Threads already up.

Does anyone fancy reading the first few books in the Brightmoon series by Pauline M. Ross sometime a little later in the year? I read the first 2 years ago, I think back in 2014 and I really loved them. I have the first 3: The Plains of Kallanash The Fire Mages The Mages of Bennamore.
I have a few books here that I'd like to read soon, so I wanted to ask if anybody is interested in doing a BR for any of these some day after February 15th?Malice
The Black Company
Inda
Titus Groan (Gormenghast Trilogy)
The Dragon's Path
Best Served Cold
@Bea I could do Malice sometime in April maybe?
