Oh man...I am stuck guys. I am trying to make my way through Malice and Oathbringer. Oathbringer is great, but way to heavy to carry around with me. Malice is becoming painful. The only thing I'm excited for is all the points it will bring the Jaghut Guardians when I finally finish them.

Siobhan (poi5ongirl) | 8703 comments Aw man, painful is not what you need from a book! Sending you positive vibes and good luck to get through them! 😆

Choko (chokog) | 12597 comments Siobhan, congrats! Keep it up 😀😀😀

Choko (chokog) | 12597 comments Jenna, there is a ton of hard times in that series, but I think it is worth it ultimately...

I hated Malice. It took me over a month to read it.

I'm holding out until the end since everyone says it's a slow burn. :)

Rob (nefariasbredd) | 2418 comments Re-Posted here (on request) from the Blood Eagles thread

So Julia asked me about team names and wondered what a "Jaghut Guardian" was and I told her it was a Malazan reference. She then grabbed this:



Doubt she'll make it more than a chapter or two. (I'll take it back before long anyway!)

Chris  Haught (haughtc) | 2348 comments That is awesome, Rob. One cool kid there :)

Haha thanks for reposting here, Rob! :)

You're welcome. She did very seriously tell me she was going to really read it as soon as she finished the last book in the series she is currently reading. So we'll see. I'll just be more interested in how she prenounces the character names....


message 269: by Frank (new)

Frank | 829 comments Rob, I am so jealous. I hope she keeps it up.
I wish my two daughters who are grown, became readers, funny that my younger daughter teaches first grade, but only spends time on professional texts and children's books.

Frank | 829 comments Just caught up and dropped 66 points in.

Everyone has their own interests. I think this is one instance where my daughter takes after her dad though. My wife reads a lot of nonfiction compared to fiction. Always an effort to get her to relax and read something fun. (she's always glad when she actually does take a break!). I'm just waiting to see how my two boys turn out as readers. Not at all expecting Julia 2.0, but I figure they'll at least enjoy it. I know I didn't really become voracious myself till I was older than Julia.


message 272: by Mayim (new)

Mayim de Vries | 2948 comments I've been lazy lately but I updated the table with my books and stuff. We are doing great. :D

And good job Frank and Mayim!

You guys aren't as observant as the Tome Faders who picked up on the other change.

I'm going to have a lazy one and get some reading in hopefully xD


Em*Greedy* (Iniya) (iniya_n) | 387 comments I have a doubt. So I finished a book after joining the challenge. I need to update only in the tracker sheet? Do I need to mention that anywhere else?


message 297: by Anni (new)

Anni | 5066 comments Yes, updating your tracker sheet is all you need to do, but you can update us here if you like to and we can cheer with you :)


message 298: by Sedat (new)

Sedat Yıldız | 263 comments Oh! They added our sheets! Yey, I'm gonna start finishing books right away! Lol

I had a great sunday, thank you! The wether was amazing and I spend the day with my boyfriend outside. We were at a big flea market first and I'm proud because I didn't spend my money on any books 😁
