Gil-or (readingbooksinisrael) (meirathefirst) | 207 comments I'll start again.

King (30-40 books)
6 months OR 12 months
('till 24 febbraio 2018 o 24 agosto 2018)

I rolled a 5 and landed on Alternate Realities. For that I am picking Dark Lord of Derkholm by Diana Wynne Jones Dark Lord of Derkholm (Derkholm, #1) by Diana Wynne Jones.
I rolled a 1 and landed on Urban. For that I choose Scarlet by Marissa Meyer.

I finished Scarlet but since less than half the book happened in a city I'll have to find another one.

A Thousand Pieces of You by Claudia Gray A Thousand Pieces of You (Firebird, #1) by Claudia Gray seems good.

I rolled a 5 and landed on Best Fantasy/Science Fiction.

For that I read Over Sea, Under Stone by Susan Cooper Over Sea, Under Stone (The Dark is Rising, #1) by Susan Cooper from the Best Arthurian Fiction list.
I rolled a 6 and landed back on Alternate Realities for which I'll read Castle in the Air by Diana Wynne Jones Castle in the Air (Howl's Moving Castle, #2) by Diana Wynne Jones .

VampAmber | 622 comments Tried this one back in 2015, and didn't get anywhere near as far as I would've liked. Nothing like the present to try again (especially since my brain was reminded this existed by the Factory Report). I wanna read more sci-fi anyway, and have been reading the hell outta fantasy lately. ^_^
