[Helen, I·ᴍ ɪɴ ᴛʜᴇ ʟɪʙʀᴀʀʏ]

Wow! I'm so impressed.

[Helen, I·ᴍ ɪɴ ᴛʜᴇ ʟɪʙʀᴀʀʏ]

You've read so many of the group's books!

[Tnkw01]

Yep, that's why I love the FBC. It's right where I want to be.

[Helen, I·ᴍ ɪɴ ᴛʜᴇ ʟɪʙʀᴀʀʏ]

:)

[Brenda ╰☆╮]

I'll be keeping an eye on when you read The Riddle Master of Hed. It's one of my comfort reads.
: )

[Tnkw01]

I may have to move that one up. I believe I'm going to read Griffin's Daughter because that's where it all started but after that .....The Riddle-Master of Hed.

[Brenda ╰☆╮]

I love Patricia McKilip books. There are a couple of us always trying to vote her in as a group read.

[Tnkw01]

We should have nominated Riddle Master for March. I've already used my vote and second but I'll remember that for April.

[Brenda ╰☆╮]

I've been trying to nom one of her stand alones.... The Bell at Sealey Head.

[Brenda ╰☆╮]

It's not a good idea to nom two books by the same author, because the votes get split between.
Another book by her is nominated this time around.

[Tnkw01]

Don't give up, I never thought Bridge of Birds would ever win.

[Tnkw01]

Good point.

[Tnkw01]

I checked and I've never read any Patricia A. McKillip. I believe I better get that done.

[Helen, I·ᴍ ɪɴ ᴛʜᴇ ʟɪʙʀᴀʀʏ]

Nor me. She wasn't available on the UK kindle but I think that's now changed.

[Tnkw01]

I did it. I finished my first book. The Dragonbone Chair. I'll do my review in a bit. I going to start Griffin's Daughter. Since I have Ysabel reserved for me at the library I might need to do that one too. Sometimes books like these have a waiting list.

[Virginie, Meow.]

Good job!
I've been meaning to read Ysabel for a while now since Provence is where I'm from, and I really miss the castles, olive groves and, above all, the heat. The only Kay book I've read so far (Tigana) was a 'meh' for me, so I'm a bit reluctant to read his work.

[Tnkw01]

Well, I've just started it and so far it's been different than other Kay books I've read. Just a bit more YA and Urban than his previous stuff. But I'm really liking it so far.

[Helen, I·ᴍ ɪɴ ᴛʜᴇ ʟɪʙʀᴀʀʏ]

I preferred Tigana to Ysabel. That said, I'd prefer hot, sunny country both right now. I had to get a bus to work as the pavements were like an ice rink.

[Tnkw01]

I'm about 25% through. Loving it so far. Kind of hard for me to compare to Tigana because they're such different books. I'll make up my mind later.

[Helen, I·ᴍ ɪɴ ᴛʜᴇ ʟɪʙʀᴀʀʏ]

I know what you mean. I liked it. I went onto read the connecting trilogy - Summer Tree etc but couldn't read them in the end. They really irritated me.

[Tnkw01]

Helen wrote: "I know what you mean. I liked it. I went onto read the connecting trilogy - Summer Tree etc but couldn't read them in the end. They really irritated me."

Oh no, that's discouraging. Well, I'm almost half way through and I'm still loving it. One of the better YA's I've read.

[Kevin]

Summer Tree is the hardest to get into, but I felt the series just got better the further in I got

Good to know for down the road.

[Tnkw01]

Well, I finished Ysabel. Really loved it. Still working on Griffin's Daughter.

[Helen, I·ᴍ ɪɴ ᴛʜᴇ ʟɪʙʀᴀʀʏ]

Glad you enjoyed it.

[Tnkw01]

Helen wrote: "Glad you enjoyed it."

Actually one of the better YAs I've read.

[Helen, I·ᴍ ɪɴ ᴛʜᴇ ʟɪʙʀᴀʀʏ]

And... Ysabel just got moved up on my TBR ;)

[Tnkw01]

Finished Griffin's Daughter. Liked part of the story, part of it.... not so much. Gave it a 3 star (3.5 star if I could).

[Tnkw01]

Four books down. Finish The Riddle-Master of Hed. Gave it 4 stars. Didn't care for the ending but the rest of the book was great.

[Tnkw01]

Finished The Whitefire Crossing. Makes number 5.

[Tnkw01]

Finished The Curse of the Mistwraith. That makes number 6.

[Tnkw01]

Finished Howl's Moving Castle for number 7. Now on Assassin's Apprentice.

[Tnkw01]

Finished Assassin's Apprentice for number 8. Now I'm reading The Black Prism.

[Cheryl]

You're doing great, Tnkw01! I really loved Howl's Moving Castle and Assassin's Apprentice and enjoyed The Black Prism.

[Tnkw01]

Thanks Cheryl. I'm going to get as many as I can.

[Scott]

Great job, you'll be first to 12.

[Tnkw01]

Scott wrote: "Great job, you'll be first to 12."

Thanks Scott, I hope to get a lot more then 12. I guess we'll see. ; )

[Helen, I·ᴍ ɪɴ ᴛʜᴇ ʟɪʙʀᴀʀʏ]

Wow!! You're so fast too.

[Tnkw01]

Finished The Black Prism for number 9. Started The Master of White Storm.

[Kevin]

you are flying through your challenge

[Tnkw01]

There all really great books so it's making it really easy.

[Bill]

Nice job. I haven't read any books for this challenge yet. Thinking of starting with The Master of White Storm. Hope you enjoy it.

[Tnkw01]

It's really great so far. Has a "The Way of Kings" feel about it.

[Helen, I·ᴍ ɪɴ ᴛʜᴇ ʟɪʙʀᴀʀʏ]

I read it so long ago. Good isnt it.

[Tnkw01]

It is so good. Reads like a Irish myth fairy tale where the main character goes from one adventure to another.

[Bill]

That sounds great.

[Helen, I·ᴍ ɪɴ ᴛʜᴇ ʟɪʙʀᴀʀʏ]

Have you read her trilogy? Or Camelot?

[Tnkw01]

Helen wrote: "Have you read her trilogy? Or Camelot?"

No, this is only my second book by Janny but she's a great author. Her writing is so rich.
