Might addPrince of Thorns and King of Thorns

I'm going to read Grave Peril and Oathbringer. Not sure if I will get to anything else. Maybe some audiobooks.
All of these are buddy reads
Age of Assassins 11/1
Oathbringer 11/14
Deadhouse Landing 11/14
Blood and Tempest 11/21
Tomorrow the Killing 11/22
Leviathan Wakes 11/24
Then I think I'm likely to also get to
The Gunslinger (audio)
Enemy of God (audio)
and then one of these three but I can't settle on which
Godblind
Faithless
The Court of Broken Knives
Age of Assassins 11/1
Oathbringer 11/14
Deadhouse Landing 11/14
Blood and Tempest 11/21
Tomorrow the Killing 11/22
Leviathan Wakes 11/24
Then I think I'm likely to also get to
The Gunslinger (audio)
Enemy of God (audio)
and then one of these three but I can't settle on which
Godblind
Faithless
The Court of Broken Knives

Age of Assassins
Oathbringer
Tomorrow the Killing
Leviathan Wakes
And if I find some extra time:
Age of Swords
Spiderlight
Prince of Thorns

Black Powder War
Thief's Magic
The Well of Ascension
The Girl of Ink and Stars
And I always try and read whatever book I choose as my Kindle First pick :)

Black Powder War (audio)
Leviathan Wakes
But am planning a number of group reads from my other groups:
Hounded (either audio or ebook)
The Night Circus (audio)
One Hundred Years of Solitude
Just One Damned Thing After Another
And if I can fit them in, a couple books towards various challenges I am doing:
The Art of War
I, Claudius


Also hope to make substantial progress on


The Way of Kings reread
Words of Radiance reread
Oathbringer BR
Leviathan Wakes BR reread








I'm not going to have any time for anything else. So I'm just going to move on to the next book once I'm finished each read!

Hope you enjoy Grave Peril Chris. It's from that book, that I really started to enjoy The Dresden Files.

I hope you love GoT Ahdam. I love the books and while it's slipped to second favourite series after Malazan, I adore it. I now have a funny feeling this book may have been written before you were born. I suddenly feel very old.

Cheers Angela and I read the first couple of chapters and I have a strong feeling I may be slightly depressed when I finish it
And your right it was released 2 years before I was born so sorry about that

Buddy Read:
Daughter of the Forest
Fantasy Book Club:
Locker Nine
Netgalley:
The View from Rainshadow Bay
Everything else will be spontaneous.

I'm liking the lightness of the series so far. And the old school detective feel to it makes it unique. I've grown up (in age at least :-P) playing an RPG called "Rifts", and even though it's creator has a bad combination of ADD, OCD, and self-love, I always enjoyed the supernatural aspects of his game since it had demons, vampires, boogies, fairies, space aliens, corrupt governments, etc. It was fun to play in that regard, and therefore, it's fun to read about in the Dresden Files so far.

Oathbringer
The Summer Tree
Leviathan Wakes - maybe
Other Planned reads:
The Essence of Malice
And Only to Deceive
Anything else will depend on which way the wind is blowing.

The Seeker by S.G Maclean is another good historical mystery series. Only two books long. Veronica's like my go to person for mystery books. If she rates a book highly it tends to end up on TBR. So really, I can partially blame her that my TBR keeps climbing ;-).

Additionally, I might read Perdido Street Station, since it's been on my shelf for a while and I've had recommendations of it recently.

Yeah, no pressure there, lol. FYI, Angela, not sure if you caught it but there is going to be a third Seeker book: Destroying Angel

I missed that. Fantastic. Thanks Veronica. There's no pressure. It's actually wonderful as I've discovered a lot of great books thanks to you :-). Haha see I just added another book to my TBR.

I always love to see new Sebastian fans. :-)

I think it's time for another Sebastian break, actually... this one has been annoying me a bit with it's inconsistent reminders of characters/events... inevitable when I binge a lot in a short time... it's part of the reason I took a break from August to October between #6 & 7

I have to say its a hard read not in the means of tiring or boresome but as I told to a friend it is so vivid that I feel my head wouldn't accept another great book. (Im really curious about Stormlight Archive at the same time). what should I do?

There was a time when I was caught up on Carriger's books. Now I have Manners and Mutiny, the first two Prudence books and at least 2 short stories. I need to stop doing reading challenges over in the cozy mystery groups to get caught up elsewhere or I need to find more reading time.
