Mod
Any idea where to get it?... I can't even find it on amazon... is it in an anthology... on his website somewhere?

It's included in Armageddon Outta Here, the 1.5 and 2.5 novellas as well, we could read them before book 4 maybe? It's included in my bookbeat subscription, so I think I'll read it sometime no matter what :) Not sure about other countries, but there's a free trial period for Bookbeat, you coud try it and listen to it there
Oh, I was planning the read the whole thing in one go between book 8 and 9... But we could do the relevant stories between the books! Either way works for me.https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/s...

There's more than 3 stories since a few are original from this collection and thus have no separate Goodreads entries.

Thanks... found it, but it looks like my only option is to plug the ebook into VoiceDream... I need more practice with that, to build up to doing full fantasy, so this is a good chance for that...

I like the chronological way shown in your picture :) But if that makes things more complicated we can just read the whole collection between book 8 and 9
@AnniHad to share this quote from Beyond Redemption:
βIβve killed forty-three Greatest Swordsmen. :))
I was Master of Swords in Geldangelegenheiten at twenty-one. An unprecedented honor.β
πππ
Yaya the swords n all but mainly tho for GELDANGELEGENHEITEN...which I said aloud many times...and can now spell...such a phonetic waterfall...who said Germanic
π just remembering our Blade Itself days....
Hey Anni, do you want to use the August 2019 Gardens of the Moon thread in February or start a new one?And if you want to use the old one shall I ask the mods to update the date on the thread to reflect the new date?
Just saw from the Goblin Emperor thread AND our team thread thread that you may be leaning/pushed by the Timelord towards this book so I came to add my siscouragement to the mix. I will be starting it latest by Jan 30 and really hope you decide to, if you're not already overcommitted in Feb....EDIT: Also HEY ANNI did you see my Geldangelegenheiten post above? Or are you beyond all that childishness now *kick*π you really should read Manifest Delusions....its so FAROUT in the mindfuckery....I can't even...I now know why Chris wasn't even affected ππ by the abercrombie sex because Fletcher is soooooo far beyond this line that the line isn't even....just read this scene (view spoiler)

Haha, thanks for charing the quote, I laughed out loud because it sounds so horribly wrong, why's there a need for a Master of Swords for Geldangelegenheiten? π I whish I could hear you say it :)

Sorry for the late reply, I would love to use the old thread and of course we can ask the mods to update the date, maybe it also get more attention that way.
Great I'll ask the date to be updated now.
Zaara wrote: "Just saw from the Goblin Emperor thread AND our team thread thread that you may be leaning/pushed by the Timelord towards this book so I came to add my siscouragement to the mix. I will be starting..."Again, sorry, I neglected my own thread badly! π I'm afraid I won't be able to squeeze another book in... My January was already quite busy and I'm scared by my February already π Thanks for siscouraging me, but I think I need to keep it for another day...
Same with Manifest Dilusions, I really want to read it, but I don't know when I will be able to :/
Hailee wrote: "Great I'll ask the date to be updated now."Great, thank you :)
Mod
Manifest Delusions is one I want to try on TTS... I tried to do the ebook BR 2-3 years ago, and made it through 6 chapters before getting sidetracked back to audio...
Haha, I think all the german words will sound even more horrible in TTS π

I'm probabl..."Of course, I would love to! I'm still reading Malazan right now, our schedule ends around the 20th of March, would that work as a start date? I think I could start earlier but then I would be rather slow, starting on the 20th I hope I will not slow you down too much π
Mod
Still on track for this BR?
Whoops, I thought I already answered π
I will start tomorrow if that's ok for you?
Mod
I figured it'd been 2 weeks and we hadn't talked much :)
Phew, I started it and realized that I have no idea what's going on... I forgot way to much and I can't find a good recap. Now I wonder if I should do a reread of book 1 and 2 before reading book 3. I guess some things would come back to me when I continue now, but I don't think I can appreciate the story fully with all those gaps. On the other hand I wasn't head over heels for the series the first time around, so I'm not sure if I should bother. Butbothers liked the books way better the second time around... What do you think?
Mod
Mod
I did some digging around... I haven't managed to find any in-depth recaps (there WAS a website called fantasybookrecaps.com, that I think I've used for some other books, and they said they did a Red Sister recap last year, but the site seems to be offline now)
Anyway, are you listening to the UK English audiobook?... Mark Lawrence says they skipped the one page recap he included at the start of the book... you can view and read the recap on Amazon, by using the Look Inside button...
Is that enough of a refresher, or did you already read that and it wasn't enough?
My memories of the series are (view spoiler)
Mod
Iβve been able to follow the story and relationships, for the most part, but waiting so long definitely cost me nuance...
I'm sorry I think I'll skip the read for now. I tried to get into it, but I don't really feel it and it seems as if I have forgotten far too much. Continuing doesn't feel right, to read it just to be done doesn't seem... fair. I'm sorry, now you waited for me and I leave you hanging.
Mod
No worries... the structure of this series is kinda confusing... similar to that 3rd Impossible Times book...
Some serious things seem to have happened in that large time jump, that are changing the ending to this trilogy in pretty big way (or maybe making it more traditional?)
I really AM just reading this to clear my TBR... I'm not sure I'm going to read the sequel series... I'm 99% sure if I do, it won't be until all 3 books are out, so this disconnect doesn't happen again...
At least, if you want to do a re-read, it looks like people are starting Red Sister April 15th...
And we still have to do/re-do/re-re-do How To: Absurd Scientific Advice for Common Real-World Problems
I knooow and I'm so sorry! The book also sits on my table and looks really accusatory at me every time I pass it... But I really want to read read it, instead of listening to it. But I hadn't had any time to sit down and read lately... Even my time on the train (more than an hour each day) got canceled now and I have to take my car to work due to Corona π©How about we set a schedule, that really helped me with GotM! We could do maybe 3 chapters every other day? I think that should be doable for me and when I have a fix plan that might motivate me. I can write a schedule tomorrow, now I have to go to bed
Ok, I made timetable, I hope you can figure out which chapter I mean and that they are in the same order in my translation π

Nice picks, Siobhan!

Thank you guys! I intended had an incredible day, even with the situation being as it is right now :)And if course, I'm really looking forward towards Warbreaker β€οΈ
I might join for a Warbreaker reread if can get the audiobook. Otherwise its just Secret History and Arcanum Unbounded for me on the Cosmere schedule! :)

I love the second picture! β€οΈFeel free to join the discussion on Riyria if you get time. We'll be continuing to book 2 soon. :)
Just remembering the old Grotto/Bakery days...So this is just a throwback pic...or just a very belaaaaated birthday spoiler...
(view spoiler)
Awww thank you, it looks amazing :) Last night, around 9pm I really wanted to bake something and made peanutbutter filled chocolate cookies. Now I'm quite tired because it took me awhile and I had to get up early, but it was worth it!
Hi Anni, I just wanted to check in and ask if you still had time for Deadhouse Gates at the beginning of June?
Yeeees! I mean, not actually, but I somehow will make time :) I'm really excited to start it :) Do you have a certain date in mind?
Yay!! I'm excited for it as well. I put it in my tracker for the 1st but as its the only buddy read I have for that month so I'm happy to go with whatever date suits you best...
No, the 1st is fine by me :) Is there a thread we can use or should we request one? We also need to create a schedule
