What are you reading in August 2017?

[Tnkw01]

I just started reading the story but it has a Brandon Sanderson feel to it. I believe I'm going to enjoy it.

From all the positive comments, I'm expecting great things from this series :-)

I'm on my 5th book of the series, and if I can say one thing I'd say it gets better with each new book, even the stand-alones are as captivating as the original trilogy, if not more raw and gritty..

[Tnkw01]

Finished Furies of Calderon. It was a great read. Started Among Thieves.

[Helen, I·ᴍ ɪɴ ᴛʜᴇ ʟɪʙʀᴀʀʏ]

Hope you're reading on. I've yet to read Among Thieves.

[Tnkw01]

So far I'm enjoying Among Thieves. Kind of reminds me of Gentleman Bastards a little bit.

[Femmy]

I like Gentlemen Bastards more than Among Thieves.

[Tnkw01]

I really like Drothe, the main character.

[Helen, I·ᴍ ɪɴ ᴛʜᴇ ʟɪʙʀᴀʀʏ]

Finished Red Sister and I really want book two :(

[Joseph]

Finished (finally!) The Witchwood Crown -- it was very good, but I didn't realize how long it was until I saw a physical copy in a store and saw that not only was it 750+ pages long, but it was 750 pages of really, really tiny type.

And I decided it was time for something completely different, and much older, so I read Maiwa's Revenge: Or The War Of The Little Hand and started Colonel Quaritch, V.C.: A Tale of Country Life, both written in the 1880s or 1890s by H. Rider Haggard.

[Monica]

Loved The Witchwood Crown, Joseph. Looking forward to the next in the series. I read it should be released in Spring 2018.

I've started Senlin Ascends. Another book that has been nominated several times, but never won the group poll. I've read the first 4 chapters and really like it so far.

[Helen, I·ᴍ ɪɴ ᴛʜᴇ ʟɪʙʀᴀʀʏ]

I was so convinced it would win that I bought it!

[Monica]

Scenlin Ascends? Yes, I also bought a copy when someone (Jakub?) in the group mentioned that it was on sale. I'm on chapter 12. It's unusual, but very good. Reminds me of a "Lord Peter Wimsey" mystery...with a fantasy twist.

[Helen, I·ᴍ ɪɴ ᴛʜᴇ ʟɪʙʀᴀʀʏ]

I haven't given up on it winning -yet!

I'm reading Feedback

[Joseph]

Finished Colonel Quaritch, V.C.: A Tale of Country Life and am moving onto more H. Rider Haggard, this time his famous Viking novel Eric Brighteyes, which I expect will have a whole lot more blood & thunder.

[Heather]

I really liked "Golem" too. It was very different but interesting.

I am reading The Mermaid's Tale, which is quite dark so far.

[Helen, I·ᴍ ɪɴ ᴛʜᴇ ʟɪʙʀᴀʀʏ]

Just a few more days to question Mr Lawrence. About this book, his previous books, how to decorate? Rocket science?

[Monica]

Finished Senlin Ascends...very good. Now on to a different sort of fantasy Al Franken, Giant of the Senate :-)

[Heather]

Senlin Ascends was one of the best fantasy books I've run into that includes steampunk ideas. Book two was even better in my opinion. It's really exciting that he was picked up by a publisher!

[Ctgt]

Started a buddy read of Black Sun Rising

[Elise]

I finished Age of Swords the other day. It was flawed for me. First Sullivan book I've read that I feel that way about. I still really enjoyed it anyway because of the solid characters.

I'm back to reading The Lost Symbol, which has been pretty enjoyable so far.

[Angela]

I'm reading and so far it's probably one of more favourite books in the series to date.

[Charles]

Re-reading Initiate's Trial, By Janny Wurts, Preparing for the next volume coming this Fall. Can't WAIT!

[Anirudh]

Finally got my hands on the tower of swallows. Getting really tempted to start reading right away...
