Hey Nichole, can you recheck? I was sure I added it, but I did it again just to be sure. It might be at the bottom of the list, though. Hopefully it shows up! :)


message 516: by Nichole (new)

Nichole | 620 comments Oops, I think you're right! I usually have them sorted by date read/descending and I think it was on date added instead.

Nichole | 620 comments How is everyone's weekend going? I'm just sitting here trying to help my husband find his next series to read. He's so darn picky though!!!

*All books must be out already
*Must contain Magic/Dragons or something of the like
*Not too many books and not any spin-off series
* etc....

I've given him about 10 different options and he just shrugs. Sometimes... I want to scream at him, lol.

Nichole | 620 comments He just finished The Codex Alera series by Jim Butcher and he really liked it. He's reading Harry Dresden right now but he's not really an UF kind of guy and is looking for something else.

I suggested...

The Eye of the World *too many books*
Gardens of the Moon *too many spin-off/world books*
The Final Empire *sounds confusing*
Pawn of Prophecy *eh, maybe*
Covenants *maybe*
Ship of Magic *he read the first trilogy and liked it, but wasn't sold on this, yet*
Silverthorn* he really liked the first 2 in this world but said he just wanted more Pug stories...*
The Blade Itself *maybe*
The Sword of Shannara * he likes this author but this has a zillion books connected*
The Way of Shadows *no response, I think he had tuned me out at this point*
A Wizard of Earthsea *nothin*

I gave up after that. I'm just going to pick one for him and tell him to read it. That's what I did with the Codex Alera series and he really liked those. He said for now he'll read the 2nd Harry Dresden but I don't think he really likes them that much.


Ghost in the Stacks Yesterday we out all day yesterday. Our daughter turned 15, and we let her plan the day....now I have 50+ notifications on Goodreads to go through....
