I too didn't read Grisha, but I really liked Six of Crows, so might be worth it to give it a shot. I def wasn't bored.

I have been reading so many good comments about The Draconis Memoria that I might start it much sooner than I thought I would.

Amazing job, Petrik!
Thank you, Miche!! :D Anthony Ryan is a great author. I'm pretty sure book 2 and 3 of Raven's Shadow plummeted because he was traditionally published, where Blood Song was completely self published with his own imagination

Took me the whole month to finish it but I really enjoyed it. And the BR for the last of the trilogy starts tomorrow >_<
March totals: 6 books + 21 mangas/graphic-novels, 68.6 points, 4701 equivalent pages (GN pages / 4)
Less than February but I expected that with my new job. I'm actually surprised I managed to get more than 4000 pages :o
Finished Elantris and Kushiel's Avatar today. Just in time for month end :-)March totals: 13 books. 6,967 pages, 123.3 points
Same number of books as last month, but almost 1,000 more pages. Think finishing Oathbringer helped in that, though technically half of that book was read in February.
Title: ObsidioAuthor: Amie Kaufman

Edited to correct the amount of points. I think the spreadsheet has been lagging a lot for me when I load it.
Great job, Virginie and Diana!
Thank you Miche. You did an awesome job too. And you really devoured Obsidio :oI have to wait for a French translation and for my library to acquire it... Or maybe I'll just buy the paperback and have it shipped to France ;) I want to read it NOW :p
Aristea's tally for March: 7 books , 4240 pages and 64.1 pointsGood job Aristea :D

I'm copying and pasting above as my own as well since I finished it yesterday and haven't posted it here yet :-) Who wants to join for the second book?

Thank you Virginie! I loved this reading month! Let's see if not having internet at home in the next days will help me boosting the reading statistics for April!
On the other side, I just temporarily relocated (to the US) and I might need a second to adjust to the new apartment, etc.

I just love this series! I have been burnt out of ya, but for some reason this series I trully enjoyed. Probably the format and Aidan's point of view. :)
Niki Hawkes wrote: "lol I love those binge Reads! Was is the series ender or do you think there will be more?"It is the last one, Niki. :)
Good job, Aristea, Diana and Virginie!
Niki and Veronica, I just met Avasarala! I am loving her point of view!

I loved this quartet. It is well put together, different in style and background (heavy reference to Middle Eastern and Indian cultures, heavy use of the Mafia - which at the time did not really exists but it was used with grace) and interesting magic system, very well balanced.
I wanted to start the second series right away! also, the audiobook is great!

I am curious to know your thoughts about this quartet! I loved it and I cannot believe I waited so long to start reading these books. I wonder if the second series is going to be as good as the first one - it is still set in the same world so the novelty impact will wear off.

It's good to know the audiobooks are great as I get most of my reading by listening to audiobooks during my commute :)
I think I'll try to join the BR for the series in September :D

Well done Petrik!
I have the impression that besides book 3 of the first trilogy, you are liking the Realm of the Elderlings series; or did I miss something?

Nope! You're right, Aristea. Only book 3 of the first trilogy, and the fourth series (Rainwild Chronicles, super bad), the rest are REALLY good!

Good job, Diana!How is the Sookie Stackhouse series holding up?
Virginie wrote: "Good job, Diana!How is the Sookie Stackhouse series holding up?"
It's not. It disintegrated a couple books ago, but I got to book my first time around before giving up and this time I'm determined to finish all 13 books if it kills me.
