My wife loves that series. I read the trilogy and enjoyed it....not quite as much as my wife but it was still an interesting take on the supernatural creatures trope.

[Alexis]

Currently reading The Name of the Wind, just about half way through and so far I'm really enjoying it.

Really great book and series, I just wish another book would come out.

My wif..."

I think, like the Twilight Series, they are geared more for females, though some males do like them. ; )

Can't speak to the Twilight series since I haven't read it but there is definitely a strong romantic thread throughout. However, there is plenty of other stuff going on or I wouldn't have read all three books :)
As an aside, my wife and I went to the All Souls Con in Philly and I was one of perhaps 10(of 300) with a Y chromosome among the attendees;)

LOL, whoa, that's a lot of estrogen in one area. To bring back a blast from the past "Danger Will Robinson!"

Have you read Cherryh's Merovingen Nights Series starting with Angel with the Sword? I've really wanted to read it ever since I went to Venice and this fantasy world is suppose to be based on it.

I've read the novel, but never the shared-world anthologies that followed it. I did enjoy it and would recommend it.

It's definitely inspired by Venice, but it's SF, not fantasy -- the world is part of the Union/Alliance universe (a ways off into the future) but, IIRC, is kind of a backwater with relatively low tech and minimal interstellar contact.

(Having said which, I think that the initial novel is kind of an alternate version of her short story (novella?) "A Thief in Korianth", which definitely was fantasy, and which I would also recommend.)

[Tnkw01]

Thanks, I loved Venice so I'm sure I'll like the story. I found "A Thief in Korianth". It was in Flashing Swords! #5: Demons and Daggers.

[Aaron]

Just started Paper Girls, Vol. 1. So far it's great, looking forward to finish it and the rest of the released vol's

[Mary]

Undying by Amie Kaufman and Meagan Spooner

[Caitlin]

Just finished The Sword of Summer (these books are my guilty pleasure and always get me back into reading!)

Thinking of starting The Eye of the World finally this year!

I just don't know if I'll ever finish the wheel of time series. It just seems so daunting and everyone says the middle of the series starts to drag.

[Tnkw01]

I'm almost finished with The Palace of Glass. So, I just started Fugitive Prince.

And there's so much middle in that series.

[Helen, I·ᴍ ɪɴ ᴛʜᴇ ʟɪʙʀᴀʀʏ]

Lol!

[Janette]

I got to book 10 I think but nothing seemed to happen. Lots of words but not moving anything further forward. I never did finish the series. I keep thinking that I ought to go back to it but life’s too short

[Elise]

Finished In an Absent Dream. Pretty good, if a bit boring in parts. Main character was somewhat relatable though.

Now readingBird Box.

[Apollo]

I just started the Underground Railroad

[Elise]

Finished The Sea of Monsters last night. Thought the first book was slightly better, but it was still a lot of fun to read.

[Apollo]

so far I'm still reading The Fires of Heaven (Wheel of Time #5), still reading The Song of The Lark & I just started Underground Railroad.

[Tnkw01]

Started Side Jobs: Stories from the Dresden Files and about half way through Fugitive Prince. Really enjoying Fugitive Prince.

[Tnkw01]

So, Side Jobs and Fugitive Prince is going to carry over to February.

[Helen, I·ᴍ ɪɴ ᴛʜᴇ ʟɪʙʀᴀʀʏ]

I’ve just finished Martha Wells’ series The Raksura. So good. Highly recommended.

[Liam]

I couldn't find the February thread, and I did read the first page of this in January, so that counts right? Let's see if I can get back on track this year starting with Senlin Ascends
