I need to write them down for when that day will come!

[Solseit]

I am impressed by the stats of this group. Well done to everyone!!

👊👊👊 crushing it Miche...
*fistbump*

[Niki Hawkes, I made it past GOTM... barely]

Lena, I DNFed Windup Girl too. It was a really creative idea (view spoiler)[But he lost me when he tortured that poor elephant. I knew animal abuse was a trigger of mine, but I didn't realize how strong it was until I read this book. I decided I didn't care what he had to offer beyond that point. I was out. (hide spoiler)]

[Lena]

I have a low threshold for such things.

[Niki Hawkes, I made it past GOTM... barely]

Is that what made you stop too?

I've been feeling a bit slumpish today and yesterday...I blame it on the heat.

Great job, Lena & Bea.

Don't remember if I'm supposed to fill your scorecard or not, Aristea, so... I did it anyway ;)
Great job!

Great job!"

Thank you Virginie! I am always counting on you doing it when I am in the office - since I cannot open the page!
Let's see when I will be able to add Memories of Ice. I find myself dreading resuming the read, yet, once I do, I am completely hooked. The respect owed to the Malazan stories, I guess.

[Virginie]

Hehe. I'm both very intimidated and excited to start Malazan in 2019.

Good job Petrik! I'm impatiently waiting for your review of GotM :)
How was TG: RE? As good as TG? Better? (please say better...)

I'm posting it tonight! So many stuff to talk about I'm going to cut them down. xD

As for TG:RE, imo TG is a bit better. It's still great though but some of the pacings were off

So am I! 😉
From what I've read so far you're very good at writing reviews, Petrik!
And if you already loved Gotm the next two books will blow you away!

Petrik is the TBR Demon. Every time I see the same book pop up everywhere on my feed, being added to everyone's TBR, I know he just wrote a review.

Hahahah unfortunately that will stop for a while because I'll be reading Malazan for a long time xD

[Niki Hawkes, I made it past GOTM... barely]

lol two days and you've already topped my 8 month Malazan efforts. ;)

Hahaha did you do this on audio btw, Niki? I seriously think this series is impossible to do on audio without the risk of losing information!

I've been doing a mix of audio & book. Which is honestly probably why it's taking me so long because I have to have both the book and the audio in front of me to make it work lol. I would've been better off just reading it. Audio by itself would have indeed made it impossible to pick up on all the tiny details that make this book so cool (unless you listed on super super slow, but I don't have the patience for that lol).

If I ever actually found my kids doing chores, I'd be struck speechless.

great job, team!

P.S.: someone had fun changing the thread name and topic again. 🤔

[Virginie]

Mmmm. I wonder who did that.... :)

[Niki Hawkes, I made it past GOTM... barely]

Yeah not difficult to figure out the culprit at this point. 😜

[Veronica]

I hope he close his bathrobe before he comes in to snag credit. ;-)

[Diana Stormblessed]

Does that mean I can stop reading now? Cuz honestly I'm not sure if I can do that.

[Niki Hawkes, I made it past GOTM... barely]

Lol

[Solseit]

Well done team!!!! So much progress!!
