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

Enemy of God (audio)

and then one of these three but I can't settle on which

Godblind

The Court of Broken Knives

I, Claudius


message 9: by Gary (new)

Gary Sundell | 105 comments The two genre books I will be reading next month are

Custer at the Alamo by Gregory Urbach Custer at the Alamo by Gregory Urbach Which is not really fantasy, unless you count the spell that sends Custer through time.
Also hope to make substantial progress on The Fires of Heaven (Wheel of Time, #5) by Robert Jordan The Fires of Heaven


Melissa ♥ Dog/Wolf Lover ♥ Martin | 1338 comments Daughter of the Forest (Sevenwaters, #1) by Juliet Marillier Daughter of the Forest

Oathbringer (The Stormlight Archive, #3) by Brandon Sanderson Oathbringer

I think that's all at the moment. 😊


Saul the Heir of Isauldur (krinnok) | 209 comments Finish Malice , probably read the next one. I just might actually re-read LOTR. I just read it in January, but I really want to go back over it again, oddly enough, so soon. Might start with the Hobbit, just for the sake of completion :D

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

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.


message 24: by Veronica (last edited Oct 30, 2017 07:26AM) (new)

Veronica  (readingonthefly) | 3613 comments Buddy Reads:
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.

Iain, I hope you enjoy the St. Cyr books. It's one of my favourite series.

Oh, I've been loving the Sebastian St. Cyr books... great fun books with great characters... I binged the first 6 back in August... been zooming through the newest 6 this past month... I've been listening to them in between Buddy Reads... going to run out soon, tho... then I need to find a new series...

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 ;-).


Saul the Heir of Isauldur (krinnok) | 209 comments Well, now that I've finished the first Elric book and come into possession of the 5th and 6th books in the Tarzan series, I might start again with the famous Lord of the Apes.

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 Destroying Angel (Damian Seeker #3) by S.G. MacLean .

Thank you! I'm eager to get to that one. It really sounds like the best of the best of Sullivan's works. I just acquired a copy last week. :)

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

Beste | 1163 comments Currently reading; The Hero of Ages
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.
