Omg a Drizzt shelf!!! You just made my day.


Melissa ♥ Dog/Wolf Lover ♥ Martin | 1338 comments Yesssssss! You should see my stack against the wall. It looks like the leaning tower 😂

Haha that's awesome!


Melissa ♥ Dog/Wolf Lover ♥ Martin | 1338 comments I just dismantled them so I can add them. I still need to purchase the newest two in paperback but I'm not adding them yet.

I'm behind by about 7 books. It's on my TBR to do list lol.


Melissa ♥ Dog/Wolf Lover ♥ Martin | 1338 comments You're closer than me 😊


Melissa ♥ Dog/Wolf Lover ♥ Martin | 1338 comments Ugggg, I left something out somewhere but my head hurts too bad to figure it out right now =(

Either Promise of the Witch King Road of the Patriarch or The Companions (I don't think I'm reading The Companions ones). Otherwise, they all look to be there to me. :)


Melissa ♥ Dog/Wolf Lover ♥ Martin | 1338 comments I know which ones they were. It was the three that wasn't about Drizzt but I'm going to get them so I can read them all in order 😊

An excuse to get more books. Lol


Melissa ♥ Dog/Wolf Lover ♥ Martin | 1338 comments I didn't see your update before typing mine. We were cross typing. 😊 Now that I have re numbered the books I'm going to read those. I put tiny numbers on the inside to keep them all in order and I didn't look to see they weren't Drizzt before I did it! Gah!!!!

Niki Hawkes - The Obsessive Bookseller | 7639 comments Mod
Haha oh man! Dang it! You might still be okay chronologically though leaving them numbered like that.


Melissa ♥ Dog/Wolf Lover ♥ Martin | 1338 comments You don't know me very well. Lol. Just 3 more books to add to my list to buy.

I have hundreds of books around here to read but I still get more. Then I'm too stressed to read 🙁 I hate going through and trading stuff in because it's sat in the house too long! Sigh

It would drive me crazy also leaving it like that. I was trying to give you a silver lining haha.

Having so many is stressful to me too. If I didn't find organizing them cathartic, I might not be able to handle it. I'm genuinely hoping this challenge will eventually allow me to have only the "best" books left on my shelves, but I'm a loooong way off from that end-goal.

Also, I really liked the Wayfarer Redemption and its series. Some found it long-winded, but I was engaged. Is that list your "read" or "tbr?"

Mel, we're doing a BotF read starting in Jan, join us.

Also I'll do a group read of The Passage series with you.


Melissa ♥ Dog/Wolf Lover ♥ Martin | 1338 comments These are all tbr. It's going to take me until the end of next year to add all of the books I own and need to read, Niki. Shhh, I didn't admit that 😄


message 20: by Melissa ♥ Dog/Wolf Lover ♥ (last edited Sep 15, 2017 11:25AM) (new)

Melissa ♥ Dog/Wolf Lover ♥ Martin | 1338 comments Wait what? What is that first one Scott? You guys will soon realize I can't find anything in the groups even though I have been on here a few years and was mod once. Scary thought huh 😄

Yesssss, this will finally get me to read The Passage. I have wanted to start forever!!

Sorry as Niki pointed out BotF is book of the fallen aka Malazan and book one is Gardens of the Moon

Do The Passage trilogy next year?

Something like:

The Passage Jan-17th
The Twelve Feb-17th
The City of Mirrors Mar-17th

?


Melissa ♥ Dog/Wolf Lover ♥ Martin | 1338 comments I do believe I can wait until the beginning next year for those


Sorry, I don't catch on very fast. Are you guys reading Gardens of the Moon? I thought you guys already read it. See!!


Melissa ♥ Dog/Wolf Lover ♥ Martin | 1338 comments Omg! I missed two of your posts on here, Niki!! No wonder I didn't know what was going on. 😂 I was adding books and didn't catch but Scott's after the fact. I'm a dork!


Melissa ♥ Dog/Wolf Lover ♥ Martin | 1338 comments Thank you for the link Niki 😊 I only have the first book so far to try first. Others said I wouldn't like it. We shall see

You're welcome :) Scott's going to put together a "cheat sheet," so hopefully we'll have more fun reading it as a more "guided" buddy read. Knowing I can ask questions about what appears to be a very complicated series makes me less stressed about giving it a try. We shall see. :)


Melissa ♥ Dog/Wolf Lover ♥ Martin | 1338 comments I'm scared 😕 But the cheat sheet sounds good! 😊


message 29: by Elizabeth (new)

Elizabeth (fantasynerd365) | 1229 comments Well since I own the first book on your list too, if you'd like to buddy read at some point it would get rid of one for both of us.


Melissa ♥ Dog/Wolf Lover ♥ Martin | 1338 comments That would be awesome, Elizabeth 😄


message 31: by Elizabeth (new)

Elizabeth (fantasynerd365) | 1229 comments when would be good for you?


Melissa ♥ Dog/Wolf Lover ♥ Martin | 1338 comments Hmmmm, I'm not sure. I would like to try to get it done before Oct. I'm going to try to read a lot of horror books at that time. What were you thinking?


message 33: by Elizabeth (new)

Elizabeth (fantasynerd365) | 1229 comments hmmm I'm hoping to finish the two I'm reading this weekend. maybe start mind at or Tuesday? I doubt I'd have a chance to really start until Wednesday with work but may get some done before.


Melissa ♥ Dog/Wolf Lover ♥ Martin | 1338 comments That sounds really good to me! I'm re/reading Promise of Blood (Powder Mage, #1) by Brian McClellan with a friend starting today so I can eventually get to the next two books in the trilogy. Plus, I'm reading on a few others and some audios. Yes, I'm crazy 😊 Get with me again on Wed so we can start together!


message 35: by Elizabeth (new)

Elizabeth (fantasynerd365) | 1229 comments alrigjt, I may start some Monday or Tuesday night if we're slow at work and I need something to .


message 37: by Elizabeth (new)

Elizabeth (fantasynerd365) | 1229 comments So I've owned the book since October 25, 2015. it still had the receipt where I bought it goodwill inside.


Melissa ♥ Dog/Wolf Lover ♥ Martin | 1338 comments I think I have owned mine that long or longer! I'm reading on a few books right now. Well, this morning I did but then I got stressed over them all and stopped. This is why I can't get my tbr down 😕


message 39: by Elizabeth (new)

Elizabeth (fantasynerd365) | 1229 comments any chance to start yet? Also if you didn't see there's a thread set up for it now.


Melissa ♥ Dog/Wolf Lover ♥ Martin | 1338 comments I'm on chapter 2. It's going to be slow going as I'm reading 4 more books. Thanks for the thread, I didn't notice. Duh! I'm trying to know out a ton of books and no stressing. Lol. I haven't added this one to my currently reading yet because I get weird about too many books on my currently reading. I'm weird! I still need to finish this list too!! I have all of the books in this series so I'm hoping it's good! Okay, let me go find the thread.


Melissa ♥ Dog/Wolf Lover ♥ Martin | 1338 comments I loved The Wayfarer Redemption (Wayfarer Redemption, #1) by Sara Douglass so much!


Melissa ♥ Dog/Wolf Lover ♥ Martin | 1338 comments I really want to continue on with The Wayfarer series but I have other books I need to read first. I just loved it so much. I can't hardly believe it!


Melissa ♥ Dog/Wolf Lover ♥ Martin | 1338 comments Omg!!!! I read Gardens of the Moon (The Malazan Book of the Fallen, #1) by Steven Erikson a few weeks ago? Anyway, I forgot to update AND!!! I freaking loved that book so much!!! I bought the next 9 mass markets and I'm slowly getting them on kindle and Audible! And YES! I'm crazy and I'm okay ish with it 😄

Is there somewhere we can all chat? There are chat rooms in different groups and I would love to get closer to some people on here. If there as nice as Scott and Niki 😄


Melissa ♥ Dog/Wolf Lover ♥ Martin | 1338 comments Well I'm freaking mad! I'm out of whack with my Drizzt books again. I was making the list for my real notebook and I was going by the inside of one of the books and nothing matches anything. I looked for the orders online and the were all messed up abd now my notebook is messed up 😕 Help

Niki Hawkes - The Obsessive Bookseller | 7639 comments Mod
Oh no!!! I have a list on my desktop. I'll share it tomorrow. Frustrating.


Melissa ♥ Dog/Wolf Lover ♥ Martin | 1338 comments Thanks so much, Niki 😊 I think the first time around I had it right and then changed it and bleh.

Okay, I'm going night night. I was trying to finish watching Halloween and stay up until it turns Halloween but I'm fading fast!

Either way! Happy Halloween 🍁🎃🍁👻


Melissa ♥ Dog/Wolf Lover ♥ Martin | 1338 comments I went to thriftbooks because they have all of their books labeled so I think I'm good to go and if not, I will just read one out of order 😄

Niki Hawkes - The Obsessive Bookseller | 7639 comments Mod
Okay cool. I've been trying to find my list all day so I didn't have to retype it lol.


Melissa ♥ Dog/Wolf Lover ♥ Martin | 1338 comments I hope I got it right. I re-did them in my notebook. Ugggg. Lol
