Dawn | 1249 comments Oh! How did I forget Retribution Falls! This is a fantastic book well worth including.

I'd be honored to be included in the three - thanks for thinking of me. And thanks to all the other people who nominated Age of Myth. I'm still a rather "small" writer in the grand scheme of things so this kind of recognition would be a huge boost.

I read it based on Sir Lancers' love for it. :) Probably many of us did. Lol

Lol I should be getting royalty checks for the amount of times I have recommended that book. And Micheal your a stand up guy that has been a great presence in this group, so if anyone deserves to have their book nominated it is you.

I think I've helped push Michael's books. And I'm excited to be currently reading Age of Swords.

I'm good with Retribution Falls, while not my favorite books, I do find them entertaining.


message 58: by Melanie (new)

Melanie | 1691 comments If we go with Retribution Falls, it would highlights the group's mod special readings.

Fifth Season is also a choice worth considering.


message 59: by Joshua (new)

Joshua Baron | 5 comments I would second both Red Rising and the Long Way to a Small Angry Planet!


message 60: by Veronica (new)

Veronica  (readingonthefly) | 803 comments I'll go with Retribution Falls for the third pick seeing as how I just read it recently. It's fresh in my brain. :-)

Also I've just noticed they chose us over the other S&FF groups on here ;)

I'm very happy with our picks, they reflect the group well.

Narilka | 390 comments That's awesome!

Audrey (niceyackerman) | 3537 comments Mod
I also think the descriptions of our books (written by Rinn?) were written well.

Sean (redbeard007) | 95 comments Awesome sauce

Ryan We will crush all other Goodreads groups beneath our feet.

I agree with Ryan. ;)

Ditto.

It's great that they chose our group. There are bigger (in terms of membership) groups out there but one of the reasons I chose this one was because it was smaller and felt more personal.


message 75: by Cody (new)

Cody | 75 comments I have read just one of our choices (age of myth) I bought it in response to this thread and read it in about 3 - 4 days (very fast for me) I now own the The theft of swords and the firefly book (whose name evades me)

I also think that our section on the page was the best written and our books looked the best.

Was anyone else surprised that the history book section had 3 books of fiction rather than e.g. ' a brief explanation of the tudors' is that just me not understanding what the history genre is?


message 76: by Michael (new)

Michael (michaeljsullivan) | 90 comments Congratulations guys for being picked to have your group featured!! And, thanks, too, for adding Age of Myth as one of your picks. I'm honored.

@Cody - Thanks for reading Age of Myth and for picking of Theft of Swords. I'm glad you like the tales.

Sarah | 641 comments Paul wrote: "I'm very happy with our picks, they reflect the group well."

Agreed! I've read two out of the three and this makes me want to move Retribution Falls higher up the TBR.

Audrey wrote: "I also think the descriptions of our books (written by Rinn?) were written well."

Yes, very well written descriptions! The descriptions do the books justice, while giving a good idea of what our group is like as well.

Also agree Rinn wrote brilliant snippets for our choices


message 81: by Lancer, Warden of the Slums (new)

Lancer (elancer) | 1667 comments Mod
We are just a brilliant group all around. I feel like with us being a smaller group that we likely take what our members say to heart a lot more. Where in a gigantic group I would imagine that the mods rule with an iron fist.

We are number one. All other groups are number two or lower.
